I want to encourage you, not because you deserve it or that I know exactly what you need to hear, but because you need it. God gave the gift of encouragement to certain people, but like most gifts, at certain times we can all experience them, as need arises. Jonah would not have been my… Continue reading The Truth as to You

Yeshua’s Ministry
I knew a minister who evaluated whether he would spend time with people based on how they could add to his ministry. His ministry was measured by the influence and numbers of people who listened to him and sought him to speak at gatherings. How is this any different from an online influencer on the… Continue reading Yeshua’s Ministry

Superstition
“Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the… Continue reading Superstition
Spiritual Battle
I had forgotten the lessons of Israel’s battles which are for our instruction and encouragement. (Romans 15:4) I believe this applies to small issues and great. When the enemy shows up, seek the Lord as to what He would have us do. The Lord will design and configure what forces we are to involve in… Continue reading Spiritual Battle

Hidden Ways of Love
Not all love is overt, obvious and felt, perhaps as much or more love is unseen, could love be like an iceberg with ninety percent of its ice hidden below the surface of the sea? I don’t know the entire range of Love, nor the limits of its character; given it is from God it… Continue reading Hidden Ways of Love
The Magi
Wisemen from the east sought Israel’s Messiah, following his star, asking, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” (Matthew 2:2) We aren’t told what country or region the Magi were from or how it was revealed to… Continue reading The Magi
On The Trail Again
When I go hiking, it inevitably clears my mind. Being amidst God’s unaltered creation gives an awareness of being part of His creation and recognizing His nature. Scripture explains, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so… Continue reading On The Trail Again

False Premises
This is a list of erroneous or false premises commonly used to support false conclusions about Biblical topics. Using mental rationalization to support a premise, e.g. We have the written Bible in electronic form today, therefore, certain practices or exhortations for evangelism are no longer necessary or relevant. Citing historical assumptions, conclusions, and opinions, e.g.… Continue reading False Premises

The Power of God on Earth
Yeshua said He was returning to the Father so the Holy Spirit could come to God’s people. (John 16:7). What has the Holy Spirit done on Earth during the last 2000 years?

Universal Truths of Righteousness
"But if we and our posterity neglect religious instruction and authority; violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." - Daniel… Continue reading Universal Truths of Righteousness
The Day of Adversity
"Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him." Ec 7:13-14 "Shall we indeed accept… Continue reading The Day of Adversity
Magazine Issue 9
Things hard to explain I tried this morning to step in my boots. It worked with the left, but on the right my heal got caught so I had to sit down and put the boot on normally. After lacing them up I went to work getting on the tractor and removing the bush hog.… Continue reading Magazine Issue 9
The Unforgotten Sparrow

But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him! Are not five sparrows sold… Continue reading The Unforgotten Sparrow
Skepticism
Yeshua was attested to be Israel’s Messiah by over three hundred prophetic scriptures. The statistical probability of just a few of these prophecy’s being randomly fulfilled is 1017, that is one followed by seventeen zeros. Yeshua began His ministry with signs and wonders to establish that God was with him. He healed multitudes on numerous… Continue reading Skepticism
What is Truth?
"Then Pilate said to him, 'So you are a king?' Jesus answered, 'You say that I am a king. For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world—to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.' Pilate said to him, 'What… Continue reading What is Truth?
When Tragedy Hits
Bad things happen in this fallen world, often as a consequence of our bad decisions or those of others. It could be an “Act of God”, meaning it was one of nature’s destructive forces. Irrespective of the cause we feel sadness, loss, disappointment, disruption, hurt, and a host of very real emotions. We respond differently… Continue reading When Tragedy Hits
Holy Spirit Review
I have passion for more Holy Spirit in you, me and the world. I don’t apologize for this, but I don’t want to repeat myself, more than a little, so I have prepared an index, in no particular order, of our exhortations of the Spirit, though it may not be complete. Obtaining the Power of… Continue reading Holy Spirit Review
Travesty Before God
“A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?” (Jeremiah 5:30-31) The faithless men who have amassed wealth and spend it to fashion an idol in their image… Continue reading Travesty Before God
Apologetic for the Spirit
A friend asked me, “What do you think is the evidence of the Lord removing the Candlestick from a church as referenced in Revelation 2:5?” My immediate impression was this is extremely serious and denotes the death of a church. The Candlestick represents the Holy Spirit which is the life of each Believer - no… Continue reading Apologetic for the Spirit
