Many people are saying that the end of America may be near; both sides in the presidential election claim the end will begin if their opponent is elected. Movies and TV shows have been produced recently depicting a post America world. As bad as the society has become, there are some very good things that… Continue reading Good Things Have Happened

I have been involved in a lot of church work my whole life, but I consider Yeshua to be everything and the hidden life in Him. I was part of the Jesus movement revival of the early 1970's and I have a heart for Israel.
Wonders of Marriage
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has… Continue reading Wonders of Marriage
Horrible Evils
There are many evils in our society such as murder, crimes of all sorts, injustice in our courts, corruption in our government, despicable personal acts. These are seemingly on the rise, but they have been around at certain levels for all our national history. Recently I've seen a wickedness that is disturbing on an entirely… Continue reading Horrible Evils
In the Small Things
Does God care about the small things that we deal with in this life. By small, I don't mean insignificant or material necessities of living; He promises to give us food and clothing, things we need. No, I'm referring to small decisions regarding matters that affect us and the others around us, over which we… Continue reading In the Small Things
The Prodigal Son
In this parable, (Luke 15: 11-32) the younger son asked for his share of the estate. He took his share, left, and squandered all he had received; ultimately he found himself starving in a foreign land during a severe famine. In his desperation he decided to return to his father's house, asking for nothing, but… Continue reading The Prodigal Son
Fruit Bearing
The parable of the sower, (Matt. 13: 18-23), includes an alarming and critical category of failed seeds; the first is taken by the enemy from the path; the second has no root and quickly falls away when rocks of trouble or persecution come; the third produces no fruit because of the worries of the world… Continue reading Fruit Bearing
Accusations
Have you ever heard accusations in your mind? Are they immediately after some interaction with someone or as a consequence of your own thoughts or actions? Are they out of the blue almost random accusations pointing out your weakness, things you have already confessed from the distant past, or things that you could never make… Continue reading Accusations
Myths on Earth
When we enter into the afterlife we will be free of many lies, conjecture, assumption, misunderstanding, and deception that we held while on earth. For many, the most obvious will be the existence in which we enter, but this will be of no surprise to Christians, as we look forward to it from the beginning; although… Continue reading Myths on Earth
God’s Care Sovereign and Particular
To fear God, and to stand in awe of his justice; to trust and depend on him in all conditions; to submit patiently to his will under all afflictions; to pray to him for the supply of our wants, for the relief of our sufferings, for protection and defense; to love and praise him for… Continue reading God’s Care Sovereign and Particular
Wisdom in Reply
A response to some proclaimed Atheists is ill-advised, particularly if they are merely trolling for replies, and considering the substance of their arguments and the scriptures. As long as they have breath, there is still hope that God in His mercy will open them to the truth of Yeshua, Messiah through whatever means He may… Continue reading Wisdom in Reply
Jim and Casper Go To Church
"Most christians have been immersed in church culture for so long that they have no idea how non-Christian guests might interpret what they see and hear at a worship service, or what might inspire them to come back." Is the Christian worship service for God's pleasure or a sales meeting? Are Christians to conform to… Continue reading Jim and Casper Go To Church

People are seeking to live longer lives and life expectations for populations are increasing.However, who can deliver on such a promise.

Atheist And Proud Of It, But Why
This is a partial list of celebrities who are purportedly atheist by News N Buzz website and comments attributed to each. It is likely profitable to be atheist in Hollywood, so as to the true heart-felt beliefs of these folks, it is hard to say, and since they are alive, they may yet come to… Continue reading Atheist And Proud Of It, But Why
The Church in America Today and Tomorrow
The Pew Center did a massive survey in May 2015, generating many statistics, in general concluding that evangelical churches were growing while others were declining. Also, within Evangelical churches “non-denominational” churches were growing significantly. American society as represented in the media is in decline morally and spiritually, aided by liberal judges in the Supreme Court… Continue reading The Church in America Today and Tomorrow
A Word of Encouragement
You can have greater faith now. Hear, think, remember, read, meditate, pray, seek, ask, inquire about Messiah Yeshua, and as you do listen, faith will rise. Everywhere God is blessing His people, even those who are just turning to Him, those who are weighed down by the cares of this world, the brokenhearted, those in… Continue reading A Word of Encouragement
Feelings vs Mental Assent
These are two aspects of faith and they offer much to debate and divide those who favor a particular view. In revival we see each in operation, but mental assent is much more difficult to observe than the emotions and associated feelings which flood out in all sorts of expression. Is a particular revival event… Continue reading Feelings vs Mental Assent
God’s Timing
Everything of God is perfect, so when we look at His timing it is amazing. In His timing He can be severe, as well as gracious. When Abraham was asked to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice, immediately after God stopped Abraham, he supplied a ram that was caught in a thicket for… Continue reading God’s Timing
Recognizing the Holy Spirit
The critical issue in our Christian walk is will we be led by the Spirit or by self, human will, skill, thought, ego, imagination or other motivations. How is the distinction made - even when it is acknowledged to be wholly critical? Here is a list (in no particular order) based on scripture and illustrated… Continue reading Recognizing the Holy Spirit
A Vision in Worship on Easter Sunday
I saw an athletic event at an outdoor stadium. The athletes were highly skilled and the competition fierce. There were many spectators cheering for the champions. As the event neared its conclusion, a weaker participant faltered and fell. Falling to the field he was broken and defeated. The crowd was silent and seated bearing with… Continue reading A Vision in Worship on Easter Sunday
Fear God and Live
What truth we know is from God; some directly via written form and other via individual revelation. Other information, mostly erroneous or out right untruths abound from suggestions of the enemy and imaginations of men. Truth is not time sensitive as current thinking claims and asserts, based on changes in fashion and various so-called technologies… Continue reading Fear God and Live
One Child’s Glimpse of the Kingdom
Unless you become as a child you will never enter into the Kingdom of God - Matthew 18:3 My first memories are when I was four or five. I have considerable access to photographs and some of these early one's may have influenced what I actually remember. I believe this was minimal although this is… Continue reading One Child’s Glimpse of the Kingdom
Hudson Taylor
I had heard of Hudson Taylor, British Missionary to China, many times over the years, but never read the book for myself. I can easily recommend it to you and say this was the best biography I have ever read. There were numerous books on His life and works; the one I chose was… Continue reading Hudson Taylor
