“See, the storm of the Lord will burst out in wrath, a driving wind swirling down on the heads of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord will not turn back until he fully accomplishes the purposes of his heart. In days to come you will understand this.” (Jeremiah 30:23-24) God possesses supreme authority… Continue reading War And Judgment

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.
Declining Trust
“Today, 25% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they trust the federal government just about always or most of the time, compared with 8% of Republicans and Republican leaners.” (https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/09/19/public-trust-in-government-1958-2023/) Are you surprised by these numbers? To put these findings in perspective over time, trust in Federal Government has declined from around 75% in 1958… Continue reading Declining Trust
Thwarting Evil
Evil people attack the righteous because they are deluded, selfish and evil. They use lies, misstatements, accusations, subtlety, slander and propaganda. Lately they have started “canceling” their targets, which involves personal, financial and law-fare attacks, occasionally physical threats. If allowed, evil people use corrupt government to oppress their foes. The motivation behind evil people is… Continue reading Thwarting Evil
Practical Humility
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even… Continue reading Practical Humility
Impeachment
There is a lot of talk about impeaching Joe Biden, Secretary Mayorkas, Attorney General Garland, FBI Chief Wray, and others. Given what was done to Donald Trump, there appears to be ample reasons to bring charges for impeachment. Of course, the Republicans do not want to stoop to the unscrupulous levels of Nancy Pelosi, but… Continue reading Impeachment
Magazine Issue 11
Holding us Back Many things can hold us back from following the Lord wholeheartedly. The world is full of such things, in fact everything “of the world” is opposed to a Spirit led life. Within the depths of every Believer is a desire to be completely the Lord’s, about His mission and filled with His… Continue reading Magazine Issue 11
Public Opinion
“…Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.” (Revelation 1:5) There is a battlefield where powers are waging a war of words to generate beliefs sufficient to support action, if possible. Propaganda is the dissemination of information—facts, arguments, rumors, half-truths, or lies—to… Continue reading Public Opinion
Worldly Influence
In the book of judges we read about the Israeli tribes failing to secure their entire inheritance. This caused associations with pagans and idolatrous influence, resulting in discipline from God in the form of bondage. Then they would seek and cry out to God for help. He sent judges with His prevailing power of deliverance. … Continue reading Worldly Influence
Books About Books
The authors “argue for a midway approach, neither falling into the ditch of overemphasizing the Holy Spirit and his gifts today, nor falling into the ditch where “theology” is purely factually correct head knowledge whereby we forgo any practical loving works toward others.” - Spoiledmilks.com, review of “The Holy Spirit” (TFPG) by Allison/Köstenberger A book… Continue reading Books About Books
The Narrow Way
“For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake… But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” (2 Corinthians 4:5, 7) World systems have creeped into our organizations, such as… Continue reading The Narrow Way
Fear of Loss
“Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.” (Ecclesiastes 11:1 NKJV) 1 This scripture is about faith, not sight. It does not make rational sense to take what you need to survive, your bread, and cast it upon the waters. However, the principle of faith is assured in that… Continue reading Fear of Loss
Emboldened Faith
“The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” (Psalms 46:7,11) This may be very difficult to believe considering our failings, insignificance, circumstances, wandering hopes, selfish desires - weakness. I pray for those who oppose me and treat me badly and forgive them. They aren’t really any worse than me in… Continue reading Emboldened Faith
God’s Recurring Theme
God is Sovereign over Heaven and earth. He has not lost any authority or ability or efficacy of will. The enemy lies suggesting he has authority and that he is comparable to God. An eastern religion actually accepted this lie that Satan and God, Yen and Yang, are locked in an equal struggle neither able… Continue reading God’s Recurring Theme
Heaven’s Perspective vs the World’s
In Luke 19, Yeshua told a parable to those who thought the Kingdom would appear at once. It is referred to as the parable of the “Ten Minas.” I will not recount the parable, but it illustrates the difference between God’s perspective and that of man. God is interested in those who serve Him well… Continue reading Heaven’s Perspective vs the World’s
God’s Way
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” (2 Corinthians 9:6) “For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Matthew 7:2) “Do to others as you would have them do… Continue reading God’s Way
Spiritual Truth
You may be going about your business, doing your best and hoping for good, but there is a lot of opposition to the truth. We can’t see air, but it surrounds us and fills us with life-giving breath. In the same way the Spiritual dimension is there before your feet, saturating all reality. God causes… Continue reading Spiritual Truth
Corruption Defined
“I charge you, in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels, to keep these instructions without partiality, and to do nothing out of favoritism.” (1 Timothy 5:21) Paul wrote this to Timothy immediately after writing about how and when to discipline wayward Elders. Clearly, favoritism should not be exercised in the… Continue reading Corruption Defined
The Golden Apple
Many have searched hard and long for the golden apple of financial dominance. An Oligarchy of High Tech internet entities discovered it, at once colluded to share their spoils, and came out of hiding to join with the Democrat party. This was absolutely remarkable, unforeseen and unexplainable, particularly considering the Founders of America who had… Continue reading The Golden Apple
Tedium’s Source and Worth
I was playing and working with my four year old granddaughter in a pre-school workbook we had. She was coloring and drawing, learning colors and hand dexterity, shape names, copying letters, associating things with seasons and I don’t know what else, but some of it seemed very tedious. I questioned its inclusion for a moment… Continue reading Tedium’s Source and Worth
What Has Joe Done Now?
The grocery stores hardly have any orange juice and what they have is very expensive. We know high prices are due to Joe’s unrestrained spending for illegal aliens and his cronies which causes record inflation. What did he do indirectly or directly to destroy the orange supply? Is he punishing Florida (and Ron DeSantis) a… Continue reading What Has Joe Done Now?
Is America Doomed?
Many say so, a convincing argument can be made for it. Clearly, we are on a path to self destruction. It was said, “America will never fall to an attack from a foreign power, but from within.” The ancient Roman Empire fell from within, is this happened to America? A you look at Media, is… Continue reading Is America Doomed?
When Yeshua Comes to Town
“Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.” (Matt 8:33-34) What could be worse than pleading for God (in… Continue reading When Yeshua Comes to Town
Dethrone King Joe
The Founders and organizational documents of America were focused on preventing the rise of any King. The King of England taxed without representation, oppressed the people through forced Quartering of its Military, made unjust edicts and gave private property to his favored henchmen, among other things. Joe Biden has tried many of these things… Continue reading Dethrone King Joe
The Quiet Girl
The movie of this title was made in 2022 and has a rating of 7.7 on IMDB, which I would rate higher, if for no other reason than it made me cry or want to. When a movie is simple, decent and true it can touch your emotions without gimmickry. It is set in Ireland… Continue reading The Quiet Girl
Distinctions
“…put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.” (Colossians 3:10-11) In the family of God there is no national origin, distinction of religious… Continue reading Distinctions
