"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man." Proverbs 6:10-11 "A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. He who gathers in summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a… Continue reading The Security of the Rich and the Ruin of the Poor
Basics of Authority
“I tell you, whoever publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever disowns me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.” (Luke 12:8-9) As a small child I could understand this message. Moreover, I understood the concept of fearing God who… Continue reading Basics of Authority
Doctrines of Demons
“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron.” (1 Timothy 4:1-2) Is America suffering from demonization? How can we account for the irrational rejection of… Continue reading Doctrines of Demons
Worldview of Mercy
We can see America is divided, on political issues, gender identity, culture and social issues, Religion versus secularism and much more, but what is the underlying cause? There are two major worldviews colliding in America. A worldview is a framework of values, principles and beliefs through which a person perceives the world and understands reality. The… Continue reading Worldview of Mercy
Properties of Stone
Scripture give us some fascinating insights into the properties of stone. Some of the references to stone are symbolic, but God can do amazing things in stone, if He has to. Can God bring Revival to change stony hearts into hearts of flesh filled with Holy Spirit fire? Stones can cry out in praise to… Continue reading Properties of Stone
Radical-Tradionalist Believers
A FBI whistleblower recently leaked a January report from the FBI's Richmond office entitled: "Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology Almost Certainly Prevents New Mitigation Opportunities." According to this FBI catechism, "Radical-Traditionalist Catholics" are characterized by their devotion to Latin Mass, their disdain for modern popes, and their "frequent… Continue reading Radical-Tradionalist Believers
Phantom of the Open
This is a movie about Maurice Flitcroft (2021). It is based on a true story and rated 7.0 on IMDb, but I would rate it higher. Maurice Flitcroft was a UK shipping dock worker who began playing golf at age forty-six. He got into the British Open and scored the highest score ever recorded -… Continue reading Phantom of the Open
Prayer Debriefing 11
“…for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.” (Luke 1:15) This passage is an Angelic prophetic message about John the Baptist. It reminded me of the significance of… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 11
Threat of Loss
We have people in our lives we love, for some this love is close and warm on the surface of our heart for various reasons, others we love just as deeply, but they don’t command our attention in the same way. Our children and grandchildren are good examples. As these children grow they encounter dangers… Continue reading Threat of Loss
Egg Shortage
We currently see egg prices at $8.00 per dozen. Of course, the internet suggests it is related to the avian flu, but that flu has been around since 2014. Consider the recent past, inflation in general, pandemic related mandates, and Joe Biden’s Central Planning administration. These people believe they know what is better for you… Continue reading Egg Shortage
A Witness of Hope
A dear friend of mine shared, through tears, a hidden blessing she received through hardship and discipline. She always had faith, but when she fell, wallowed in the muck of sin, and was raised up, forgiven and embraced in the arms of Yeshua her Savior, her faith was tested and changed. It was no longer… Continue reading A Witness of Hope
The Unquestionable God
"As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast.

Lessons in Tyranny
“While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste… Continue reading Lessons in Tyranny
Cornbread in Buttermilk
This is a dish generations in the South were raised upon. My experience is from my parents who were mostly on the family farm during the Great Depression. I remember my uncle’s story of being thankful if he got a biscuit to eat everyday day and often possum was the meat dish. My Father confirmed … Continue reading Cornbread in Buttermilk

What You Seek
The human mind is fixed on self, flitting from one desire, whim, comfort or pleasure to another, unrestrained leading to misery and disaster. Most of us find that self indulgence is very temporary and our parents teach us to delay gratification for satisfaction, which is more lasting and wholesome. Some refuse this and become brats… Continue reading What You Seek
The Amazing God
In our worship God reveals Himself, the splendor of His amazingness, a characteristic which nothing can compare. Every believer can testify to the Amazing grace they have experienced first hand. It is the contrast of what we know we deserve and the forgiveness and righteousness He gives instead. Our rationale is astounded, words fail, emotions… Continue reading The Amazing God
Injustice in High Places
The light of truth is very important, the founders of America understood this and guaranteed free speech as a tool to protect against the darkness of censorship, lies, and failure to expose criminal behavior. Today, the Media Oligarchy and its Democrat collaborative work very hard to silence truth in all spheres. Consequently, most honorable truth-loving… Continue reading Injustice in High Places
Church According to Scripture
The Congregation of Believers is the body of Messiah; the temple of Holy Spirit on earth.

What Jesus Is Doing
He is doing what He did when He was ministering to His people, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, releasing captives, setting prisoners free, calling disciples to come and follow Him. He is finding and reaching out to the outcasts of society. He is traveling from town to town drawing all people to… Continue reading What Jesus Is Doing
The Wrath to Come
"Just as the weeds are gathered and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into the fiery furnace. In that place there will… Continue reading The Wrath to Come
Truth Seeking
I enjoy reading quotes from various people, though it seems the virtue in quotes directly relates to the character of the person. Calvin Coolidge "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would… Continue reading Truth Seeking
The Truth as to You
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
Convention of States
"The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this… Continue reading Convention of States
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
