I was in Church leadership, what alarmed me most were fellow leaders who exhibited self-will, by which, I mean reaching out to take independent action and decisions without a requisite surrender, inquiring, waiting and hearing from God. You may ask, "What about your own self-will?" That's a fair question and I'm certainly not above such… Continue reading Unseen Power

Prayer Debriefing Issue 2
As I was praying over our followers, some are just blog names, I saw many reasons to read our posts and follow the Conservative Christian Apologist. God is working, inspiring prayers, answering them, working miracles, touching hearts, all in His unseen ways. We all are part of His plans, everyone, even those opposed to us. … Continue reading Prayer Debriefing Issue 2
Presumptuous Sins
"But the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people." Numbers 15:30 "Who can discern his errors? Declare me innocent from hidden faults. Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion… Continue reading Presumptuous Sins
Before and After Time
Modern man speaks of millions and billions of years, with evolutionary chance randomly creating this present world. The Bible speaks of Creations beginning, end, and the Eternal reality of God. "No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. (1 Cor. 2:7; Titus… Continue reading Before and After Time
Beginning To Believe
We talk about faith, believing, accepting, relying upon what we know to be true. There are degrees with these words, but in their pure full meaning, convictions and commitments emerge. Then, we are changed from bystanders, students, apprentices and enthusiasts to something much more. It is the difference that Yeshua, (Jesus’ Hebrew name) talked about… Continue reading Beginning To Believe
Money, Money, Money
My former pastor once said the best way to denounce the god of mammon (money) is to treat is as though it is worthless, give it away and place no value upon it. Yeshua, (Jesus' Hebrew name) said, "I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone,… Continue reading Money, Money, Money
The Friend Removed
In everyone's life there is a person or few, with whom we make a connection along our pathway through life toward our destiny. It is difficult to describe these people as a unit with precisely the same characteristics because they are not the same, but similar. Moreover, we are not the same person when we… Continue reading The Friend Removed
Lies We Believe
The adage, "Repeat something often enough and people will believe it", is true, in part, like many colloquialisms. The socialist media certainly employs it as does their leader, Satan. The human will is like building materials put under a load to test their strength. At a point wood, iron and steel eventually weaken, crack, bend and… Continue reading Lies We Believe
Blog Prayer Debriefing Issue 1
This month we hit the ground running with prayers of spiritual warfare for victory over demonic attacks, oppression, and footholds. It surprised me, considering you are Believers strong in faith and the Word, but the enemy is not concerned with those in his prisons, but rather with the saints who are tearing them down. So,… Continue reading Blog Prayer Debriefing Issue 1
Desperate Sons
"Desperate Sons" is a book by Les Standiford that tells the story of the "Sons of Liberty", the band of anarchists who led the American Colonies to war and seceding from Britain and establishing America. Never a popular revolution, at no time did a majority support the American Revolution and around a third of the… Continue reading Desperate Sons

Believer’s Testimony We were on vacation and I mentioned "The Lord" to an acquaintance in conversation, he stopped and acknowledged his mutual faith. I added, "The Lord’s name is Yeshua", just so there was no misunderstanding. The next day I had an opportunity to ask him about his faith. One of the things we talked… Continue reading Magazine Issue 4
Greatest Moment In History
The single greatest event in human history is the death of Yeshua on the Roman Cross, at the date that time changed from BC (before Christ) to AD (After death). The pagan world is striving to change this time distinction, but the evidence, credibility and knowledge of Yeshua Messiah, (Hebrew for Jesus Christ) is too… Continue reading Greatest Moment In History
Meaninglessness and Vanity
I spent the night in a restless dream of effort without resolution, completion or meaning. I remembered Solomon's exhaustive analysis, "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." (Ecclesiastes 1:2) Yes, and he observed what I experienced in my dream. "All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their… Continue reading Meaninglessness and Vanity
With Every Temptation
"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13) If we believed and lived this we… Continue reading With Every Temptation
God’s Way
I once heard a minister who taught that God responds to prayer, which is scriptural. However, he extended it much further, such that we have been granted great authority through prayer to change the world or refuse to pray and allow the enemy to prevail. I don't want to get into an argument about doctrine… Continue reading God’s Way
Prayer Service Followup
In our post, "Spiritual Service", I announced and outlined an ongoing prayer initiative. Very briefly I explained how important prayer and you, the followers of this blog, are in the Kingdom of God. Principally we are praying for you, but scripture teaches we all are part of a Royal Priesthood.(1 Pet. 2:5, 9) My vision… Continue reading Prayer Service Followup
The Broken Spoke
Many things are wrong in America, besides a Government Office obtained through fraud, distortions regarding a pandemic, riots, division, immorality, abortion, drug addiction, broken families and political corruption. The overarching issue and underlying problem is the absence of justice. The rule of law no longer functions. "So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at… Continue reading The Broken Spoke
Spiritual Service
When I consider a lifetime of Spiritual exercise what stands out is prayer, intercession, and supplication. As a child some of my earliest memories are prayer conversations with God. That conversation never stopped, but it changed and grew in faith and knowledge. Anything that was accomplished was God's grace and was effected in conjunction with… Continue reading Spiritual Service
Enter Heaven’s Realm
There will be a time in everyone's existence where all the shadows are illuminated, revealing a startling reality, a shuddering awareness as we enter the realm of everlasting day. The presence of God will fill all with glory, perceived in awe, fear and wonder. Everyone will encounter their Creator, Father God, to give an account and… Continue reading Enter Heaven’s Realm
A Dire Emergency
In this situation everyone is tested and I can't say how I might respond, but the Word and Spirit give insight into a distinction between the natural and Spiritual. The actions of the Spirit are not subject to reason or natural responses. We've witnessed this from hero's who consistently affirm no credit for their deeds.… Continue reading A Dire Emergency
The Covenant of Marriage
"You cover the Lord’s altar with tears, with weeping and groaning because he no longer regards the offering or accepts it with favor from your hand. But you say, 'Why does he not?' Because the Lord was witness between you and the wife of your youth, to whom you have been faithless, though she is… Continue reading The Covenant of Marriage
Needs and Timing
Does God care about individuals? We in America are so individualistic, such a question is paramount. In other societies, individuals may ask such questions, but their reality overcomes their hope. For example, in the Third World getting enough food for each day is a priority over self-actualization. Some of you may know Maslow’s hierarchy of… Continue reading Needs and Timing
God in the Small Things
We needed to pour some concrete, quite a bit of it. We found a concrete contractor who began in a few days. I thought it good business to pay as we went and he was willing for me to pay the supplier directly for the cement. I assumed I could pay by check, but as… Continue reading God in the Small Things
Heaven Lost
Heaven is described in the Bible and most everyone would like to go to heaven. The Eastern religions do not describe a delightful heaven, but rather, depict an absence of earth's pain or a nirvana of nothingness after an endless cycle of reincarnation. Islam promises seventy virgins to martyr's in Allah's jihad, which sounds rather… Continue reading Heaven Lost

Transformation by the Spirit A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other… Continue reading Magazine Issue 3
