The book “A Narrative of the Great Revival Which Prevailed during the Late Civil War” was written by William B. Bennett in 1877, twelve years after the wars end but based on his personal observations and documented records. He noted that waiting twelve years gave time for passions to cool and prejudices to abate. As… Continue reading The Great Revival During the Civil War
Repurposed
I work with wood, always have, even as a child. When I was very young, I found last years tomato sticks, cut off some sound pieces, planned, sanded and joined them together to make a small plank and painted a bird on it for my Mother. She hung it up in a corner of her… Continue reading Repurposed
Green Power
A dirty little secret of Green power is that coal and gas are full-time sources while wind and solar are not. Wind and solar produce little or no energy about 70 percent of the time. This means that to replace 1,000 MW of coal, it will take 3,500 MW of wind turbines’ “nameplate capacity,” or… Continue reading Green Power
I, Juan de Pareja
My sixteen year old grandson recommended this book by Elizabeth Borton de Trevino, which tells story of Juan de Pareja as a first person account. It took place in Spain and Italy during the mid-seventeenth century. Juan was a slave of African decent and tells of the hardship of slavery and proverty during that time.… Continue reading I, Juan de Pareja
Climate Change
The wisemen of our age have declared their finding, “Climate is variable.” From this discovery politicians and clergyman are uniting around an assumption, mankind caused this most recent climate change and mankind must fix it. Today, I watched a “Religious round table” discussing climate change, citing harmful weather events, record temperatures and regional averages. The… Continue reading Climate Change
Transgenderism
"A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God." Deuteronomy 22:5 "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He… Continue reading Transgenderism
Gifts and Call Activated
God gives gifts to His children for benefit of His family on earth. The actualization of those gifts is the fulfillment of God’s purposes. The enemy has figured this out over time, seeing how wonderful, effective and glorious is God’s design and plan for mankind. He seeks to kill, steal and destroy through lies and… Continue reading Gifts and Call Activated
Your Miracle
Do you believe in miracles? If so, truly, are they limited; to Old Testament times; to the First Century when Yeshua (Jesus) was on earth and the first disciples and church were new? Are miracles only signs from God as validation or direction? Did Yeshua do any miracles simply out of His compassion or mercy?… Continue reading Your Miracle
The Most Reluctant Convert
"The dullest and most uninteresting person you meet may one day be a creature that if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to fall down and worship or else a horror or a corruption such as you now meet, or if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are… Continue reading The Most Reluctant Convert
Political Correctness In The First Century
You might think political correctness is a modern development created by modern thought and values of this superior generation. No, Solomon was right in his time, there is nothing new under the sun, political correctness included. Yeshua, (Jesus’ Hebrew name) observed in the leaders of His day, “They worship me in vain; their teachings are… Continue reading Political Correctness In The First Century
The Chosen TV Series
I just finished watch the first season of this TV series on dvd and thought it was outstanding. It is rated 9.6 on IMDB. It is about the disciples and Jesus. I will warn you it is not like the Gospel of John film which was based strictly on John’s Gospel. The Chosen is faithful… Continue reading The Chosen TV Series
The First 13th Amendment
Juneteenth Day is approaching which celebrates the abolition of slavery accomplished by the 13th amendment to the Constitution. However, few people today remember the first proposed 13th Amendment which was never ratified. In December 1860 as the Southern states were starting to succeed the Senate quickly formed a "Committee of Thirteen" to investigate possible legislative… Continue reading The First 13th Amendment
Duty Explained
“I will not look with approval on anything that is vile. I hate what faithless people do; I will have no part in it.” (Psalms 101:3) In the drafting of our nations foundations the framers were skilled and had the blessing and favor of God upon their efforts as they submitted themselves to Him in… Continue reading Duty Explained
God Perfect in Relationship
Of all the things we could describe about God’s perfect nature, I believe His interpersonal dealing with us might be the last. How many people actually consider a personal relationship with God possible? Such an assertion got Yeshua crucified and those bold enough to speak of it often are ridiculed or ostracized. Of course, scripture… Continue reading God Perfect in Relationship
Bad Blood
"Bad Blood" is a book by John Carreyou, about Theranos, Inc. and Elizabeth Holmes, its founder and CEO. Carreyou was the prizewinning Wall Street Journal reporter who broke the story, initially from sources inside the company, of the misrepresentations related to a device that Holmes maintained could do 200 blood tests on a prick of… Continue reading Bad Blood
Your Last Act
If you wasted your life, it is unlikely you will be able to finish well, unless the Lord Yeshua intervenes, but anyone who knows the the Lord of Heaven and earth, will finish in one final act worthy of God’s Son, the redeemer of mankind. Who can say they have lived their life for Kingdom… Continue reading Your Last Act
Stare Decisis
Right after the leaked SCOTUS opinion, Nancy Pelosi brought out the traditional fake pro-killing cliches unearthed from the ABC, CBS, and NBC faults closed in 1973. These old slogans are really tough to counter: abortion kills women, it’s a woman’s right, The life inside me is mine to kill, Rape and incest babies deserve to… Continue reading Stare Decisis
Our Enemies Relevance
I wrote a post entitled, “Your Enemies”. It was right, but the Spirit has expounded further on the subject. David had many enemies, powerful and even within his own family, Absolam and Michal. Yeshua had enemies that were seeking to kill him, even in the Sanhedrin. Psalm 22 is a prophetic pictorial of our Messiah… Continue reading Our Enemies Relevance
God’s History of Grace
The World seems fixed on death and evil. However, God’s grace and lovingkindness to His creation is marked in history. The greatest single event being the incarnation of Yeshua Messiah, His life, death, resurrection and subsequent redemption of all who believe upon Him. Untold numbers of books could be written upon the ramifications of this… Continue reading God’s History of Grace
Corrupt Leaders
“Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.”(Psalms 73:9) The standard of corruption has been lowered in recent years as lying, blatant hypocrisy and unthinkable policies emerge from the Humanist left. It’s not just leaders who carry out corruption, but their agents in various agencies and big propaganda organizations.… Continue reading Corrupt Leaders
The Ministry of Truth
In George Orwell's novel, "1984", written in 1948 about a future fictional facist country called "Oceania", the "Ministry of Truth" makes sure that all information available to the population of Oceania conforms to the current party line. This ministry was in charge of changing accounts of the past and destroying any evidence that might prove… Continue reading The Ministry of Truth
Public Indoctrination
In the mid-sixties there was a national debate with accompanying court decisions that removed anything remotely “religious” from public schools, such as teaching with or about the Bible, the Ten Commandments, any teaching of Jesus, or anything associated with God including creation or virtues related to Him. It was not limited to sectarian doctrine, but… Continue reading Public Indoctrination
Prayer Debriefing 8
“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” (Ephesians 6:18) This Word of God is our guide, but God’s faithfulness encourages us to seek the Spirit’s heart for each follower of Yeshua,… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 8
Your Enemies
Many people don’t consider they have any enemies, perhaps they’re right, except for the one enemy of mankind, Satan. (1 Pet. 5:8) Yeshua has defeated Satan’s power over God’s Children and is destroying his works. (1 John 3:8) For the rest of us who think we have enemies, whether true or only imagined, it can… Continue reading Your Enemies
Hope’s Substance
Imagine if you got a message from a reliable source that the problem you’re facing would be gone soon. Recently, I went to a doctor who told me, “I think this will clear up in a few weeks. I don’t think you should be concerned; in time I think you will get better.” His optimism… Continue reading Hope’s Substance
