Christians invented tolerance and practice it as a general rule, even though world history may have some specific exceptions. Of course Hitler claimed to be a Christian, but clearly he was not. Islam knows no tolerance, nor do humanists, atheists, and communists. Liberal politicians and the liberal media (many of whom are humanists or atheists… Continue reading Judgment and Tolerance

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.
This is Not Rocket Science
I saw a very serious report on a major network national news segment discussing the plans necessary to inhabit Mars as an alternative to Earth. Mars is a dry rock, without a breathable atmosphere, and incapable of sustaining any existing life. Simple common sense shows there is no possibility of making it habitable. The soil… Continue reading This is Not Rocket Science
Mending a Broken Heart
The Bee Gees great hit, "How can you mend a broken heart", reminds us that our hearts are weak and this world is evil. The enemy is doing all he can to kill, steal and destroy our faith in Yeshua and we are broken children of Adam. Even so, there is truth and great reason… Continue reading Mending a Broken Heart
Self Knowledge and God’s Light
Watchman Nee collection Vol. 1 is several writings put together into one book. Watchman Nee is one of my favorite authors because he well understands the Spirit life and the word of God. He comments on 1 Corinthians 3 which describes the judgment of work done by believers during their life time and whether or… Continue reading Self Knowledge and God’s Light
Outstanding Hypocrisy
Chicago's Governor announced recently that his city's law enforcement officers would not enforce federal Immigration laws. Other cities in California had previously refused to recognize federal Immigration law, proclaiming themselves cities of refuge. This rebellion has a historical precedent, in Civil war times. The southern States believed the constitution left matters that were not specifically… Continue reading Outstanding Hypocrisy
Lay Down Your Burden
We need reminding that some (or much) of what we have thought comes from worries, lies from the enemy, fears, wounds and hurts, injustice, rumors, jealousy, revenge, etc. We are very weak and in our natural fallen state; we are broken and very susceptible to evil. "He went on: 'What comes out of a person… Continue reading Lay Down Your Burden
God’s Building From Start to Finish
God is a master builder. "For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God." (Heb. 11:10). " For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Moses was faithful as a servant in all God's house, bearing witness to what would be… Continue reading God’s Building From Start to Finish
One Man Praying
An impromptu prayer time was announced at church and I heard about it; as an intercessor I was interested to join with other intercessors. Also, I was curious about how many would show up, and how it would proceed. There was no announced time, so anything, including nothing might be seen. I went, the carpet cleaner… Continue reading One Man Praying
Release of the Spirit
Some day the Holy Spirit will reclaim a prominent place in His church. Currently the church is focused on teaching alone. Teaching is promoted while operation of other gifts of the Spirit are quenched and stifled; worldly thinking and natural means are relied upon, rather than the Holy Spirit. Teaching is an important gift and… Continue reading Release of the Spirit
Before the Bible Was Banned
American education from its beginning incorporated the greatest selling, most popular, and singularly most unique book of all time, the Bible, in its curriculum. American education began in the churches and synagogues. Later it was essentially taken over by state and local governments, with the federal government currently making an attempt to take over. However,… Continue reading Before the Bible Was Banned
America’s Greatness
America has been a great nation as one of the "Super powers" and due to its wealth and influence. However, what is really virtuous in America's History? America was started from a desire for freedom, religious freedom, freedom to practice Christianity. There were other reasons behind the actual rebellion from the English King and… Continue reading America’s Greatness
Noble-Ness
Noble is used in the Bible several times, yet the single reference I remember first is of the Berean Jews. "Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.… Continue reading Noble-Ness
Keep The Faith
From my youth I knew God, having a child's faith that there was a God in heaven who had made the world and everything in it. From that time God has drawn me closer to him and given me more revelation of Him, mostly through His word, the Bible, but all proceeding from His Holy… Continue reading Keep The Faith
You Are Doing This Wrong
Most of us are well acquainted with our deficiencies. Simply telling someone they should be patient, or kind or whatever is not apt to do anything but increase guilt and frustration. Recently, I was driving my truck with a load that was hanging beyond the tailgate by about three feet. The load was really well… Continue reading You Are Doing This Wrong
Abundent Life is Here
There is so much bad news and future dread all around that we all need much good news. Thankfully there is a truthful source of reliable good news - The Bible. Isaiah 55 is a light in dark places, refreshing the weary and satisfying the hungry and thirsty soul. God promises: - Everyone who thirsts...can… Continue reading Abundent Life is Here
A Place Near Your Altar
God allowed a sparrow to come near His altar and build her nest. (Psalms 84:3). He also killed Uzziah instantly for reaching out to steady the altar and keep it from falling. (2 Sam 6:6). He would kill any but the high priest for coming in the Holy of holies where the Altar was in… Continue reading A Place Near Your Altar
Principles of the Kingdom
Jesus tells us a principal of the Kingdom of heaven in Matt. 19 and explains it in chapter 20. Simply put the last will be first and the first last. The context is to those entering eternity or the kingdom of God. God's Kingdom is based on His principles, not those of the world. The… Continue reading Principles of the Kingdom
Good Things Have Happened
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
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
