I was visiting my ninety-seven year old father-in-law and he was telling me about the old man who was cutting his lawn at that time. He interjected, "He speaks in Jibber-jabber." I paused offering a quizzical expression, to which he added, "We used to call them Holy Rollers." I just said, "Oh", as there are [...]
The Thwarting of the Wicked
Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Proverbs 10:2-3. For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, [...]
Give Me Jesus
The Hiding Place, by Corrie ten Boom is one of my favorite books and movies. My friend likes it perhaps more than I and we have had great fellowship discussing its lessons of God's love in the midst of horrific unjust circumstances. I have walked in the courtyard at Yad Vashem where a tree memorializes [...]
New Life
Perhaps the most current, tangible, widespread and ongoing evidence of the truth and power contained in the message of the Bible is the transformation experienced by every believer. It is described therein, by Yeshua Himself in a conversation with Nicodemus, a zealous religious leader who admitted to Yeshua, " 'Rabbi, we know that you are [...]

How Yeshua Looked
There are no images or specific description of Yeshua, but the Bible tells us something about His countenance. "He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. [...]
Highest Evangelical Outreach
Just recently, Alice Johnson was pardoned and released from prison and gave a stirring speech thanking God and President Trump. She said that her time in prison was not wasted and that God knew her name. Many prisoners come to faith while incarcerated. You might be surprised at this, but it's true. God is working [...]
World History (Or a Part Distinctly Unique)
Deuteronomy Chapter Four can only be described as such, because it denotes the basis for civilization, God's law; the centrality of Israel as God's chosen nation, inseparably including, Yeshua Messiah, and the believers who through Him are part of Israel; prophecy regarding the future redemption of Israel, their dispersion and regathering into the land, forever [...]
Shaking Off Shackles
Do you have bad thoughts? Discouraging thoughts about yourself and others. Do you see things around you that bring grief to your inner being or turmoil to your mind? Do you have memories that bring regret, sorrow, or pain from events, encounters, missed opportunities, or failures? The mind is a battlefield for your soul. When [...]
Satisfaction Famine
Do we even understand what satisfaction is and what purpose it has among humanity? It is not a euphoria produced by drugs. It is not a toy with which we play. It is genuine with many fakes passed off in deception. It is not wrong or evil except when it becomes solely selfish, and in [...]
Least in the Kingdom
"Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5: 19). To set aside what the Lord has commanded and to teach [...]
The Intercession of God
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-32. "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit [...]
Tyrants Rise
In the free world government leaders are elected by the people or their representatives. In communist countries or dictatorships the ruling group is kept in power by the military or state police. Hitler was not elected, he cheated to get a foothold, then took over and abolished traditional German government. The nation was in crisis [...]
Authority on Earth
All authority on earth comes down from God. He sets up and removes kings and rulers. The best example is Pharoah of Egypt during the time of Moses. At that time those under his authority might have disputed how a loving God could permit such evil to take place against His chosen people Israel. The [...]
Searching for Sugarman
This is a 2012 documentary movie about a singer of whom I had never heard. It's a true story that is really well told. It is rated 8.2 on IMBD which puts it in the class of Green Book, Wolf of Wall Street, Batman Begins, and A Beautiful Mind, just to name a few. I [...]
Proof of Claim
The majority of the food we eat has seeds in it. These seeds when planted or merely dropped on fertile soil would grow into another plant and eventually produce more food. This relationship between beings and plants on this planet is so remarkable as to indicate intelligent design. This premise with far more and better [...]
God’s Glory
The Psalms contain a good reflection of the glory of God, but so does every book in the Bible. Still, can those living in darkness recognize His glory? Is faith necessary to perceive such glory? The heavens declare the glory of God and the creation bares witness to Him. However, truth can be denied as [...]
Annoucement to the Deep State
Today the leader of the Deep State, the ongoing coup, and enemy of America gave an announcement to his followers regarding their next offensive. This is veiled as merely another accusation against President Trump in the media, but the rank and file understand its true directive. This is not the first, consider the early accusations [...]
A Firm Foundation
When Yeshua told the story of the two men, one who built his house on the sand and the other who built upon the rock, what was He meaning? (Matt. 7: 24-27). He was talking about putting His words into practice or not, but what does that mean in the practical terms. I don't think [...]
Critical Mass
There seems to be a Cold war being waged in America today. It's a Cold Civil war over the destiny of America. The tensions are high and the offensive and defensive weapons buildup may become an arms race. Is it possible to end the madness and restore peace with unity? Where will this division in [...]
Set Apart
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the [...]
Things Set Right
Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic started there has been one serious issue unresolved, festering and begging to be set right. The politicians started it, setting in motion a ticking time bomb that if not disarmed could do damage unthinkable. The Congress sat silent pursuing worthless acts designed only to pander and placate malcontents, but avoided [...]
Israel’s Return
"He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins." (Psalm 130: 8). How can the Bible be read in its entirety and not be credited with God's affirmation of undying love and eventual redemption for Israel? The Jewish rejection of their own Messiah, Yeshua, has been a cause for offense by some. This offense is [...]
An Outstanding Idea
The Tennessee legislature is considering a bill to name the Bible the State book. A similar bill was passed and vetoed in 2016 by the prior Governor, who was one of the worst Governors in history. Why is this such an outstanding idea? First, it is clearly the will of a majority of Tennesseans which [...]
Accomplice to Felony
The law penalizes an accomplice to a crime. Being an accomplice to murder is almost as severe as committing the murder. In a case where several people cooperate to commit a murder each can be found guilt though only one "pulled the trigger." Of course merely having an acquaintance or association with a killer does [...]
