"Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit." James 5:17-18 Elijah was able to stop the… Continue reading The Power of Prayer
Futility of Opposition
God does not quit in His work until it reaches fruition. Those opposed to God, who do not believe He exists, or are consumed by their own selfish agenda or do not know Him are at an impasse and dead end. Opposition to God will produce frustration, at least, and ultimately a miserable death in… Continue reading Futility of Opposition
MLK on Israel
Martin Luther King actually did say about Israel, two weeks before his tragic death as recalled by (the future Congressman) John Lewis: "I see Israel as one of the great outposts of democracy in the world, and a marvelous example of what can be done, how desert land can be transformed into an oasis of… Continue reading MLK on Israel
Trudeau’s Enabling Act
Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada recently invoked the "Emergencies Act", voted into law by Parliament in years past for national emergencies.

Included are orders that certain financial service providers cease the… Continue reading Trudeau’s Enabling Act
Evidence Of Spirit
Yeshua (Jesus’ Hebrew name) told Nicodemus in reply to his questions, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.…Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh,… Continue reading Evidence Of Spirit
Relax
One of the best things you can do is relax. I don’t mean take a vacation or spend a lot of money to go to a fancy resort. Stress is killing us slowly and making us more miserable than we know. This world and its pace, even in non-working hours, is sapping our creativity and… Continue reading Relax
SCOTUS Dilemma
The Supreme Court of the US is faced with a paradox of its own making. Actually it is only a problem for a few of the Justices. The Socialists/Liberals have no concern for right or wrong, Constitutional or not, only what they want. The Conservative constitutional Justices follow the constitution and existing laws that are… Continue reading SCOTUS Dilemma
When The Whole World Hears
Yeshua said, “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”(Matthew 24:14) Also, He gave His followers the great commission, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” (Mark 16:15) This has inspired much evangelism… Continue reading When The Whole World Hears

Since then… Continue reading Interview With Our Editor
Mature in Messiah
This is a worthy goal, but what does it mean? It seems to me a lot of misconceptions exist regarding maturity. In its basic sense it means becoming an adult growing to full capability physically, mentally and emotionally. In respect to faith, we should consider spiritual maturity . This is where things begin to blur… Continue reading Mature in Messiah
Irrevocable
Few things in this world are revocable. I can’t even think of one, but the old adage, “A deals a deal.” Which generally means once you agree to a transaction and it is completed there is no recourse, but actually there is, based on any number of scenarios where fraud, non-disclosure, disputes over contract terms… Continue reading Irrevocable
Thoughts Considered
It was a time of troubled sleep and I think that matters as some of these thoughts and impressions were during the night or from within. First I had an impression that I was my own enemy, in that, my fallen nature took positions contrary to the Spirit which I endorsed and held to be… Continue reading Thoughts Considered
Robert E Lee: A Life
"Robert E Lee: A Life" is the newest biography of the Confederate general written by historian Allen C. Guelzo. Guelzo is a self-described Yankee partisan but presents a fairly even-handed portrait, but more negative than some better biographies such as by Emory Thomas or Douglas Southall Freeman. While critical of Lee for his view on… Continue reading Robert E Lee: A Life
Is God Passionate
The secular world mocks God as an old man sitting in the clouds far away, uninterested, ambivalent, stern and disapproving. Some of this maybe from Michelangelo’s famous painting in the Sistine chapel of God touching Man’s barely raised finger as He looks away. To many their concept of God is distant, demanding, arbitrary and at… Continue reading Is God Passionate
Deflecting Arguments
Other than lying there are tools of deception, many of these are illustrated with great ingenuity by C. S. Lewis in his book, “The Screwtape Letters”. It is one of my favorites telling a fictional story of one demon telling his underling tempter how best to lead his subject human towards sin and ultimately Hell.… Continue reading Deflecting Arguments
Be Kind to the Wicked
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.... and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind to the ungrateful and the evil." Luke 6:27-28, 35 One of the commands of our… Continue reading Be Kind to the Wicked
Paine’s Common Sense
Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet, “Common Sense", with a third edition published February 14, 1776. It was very influential to the Revolution and Paine donated his profits to the American war effort. The following points are well made and generally unequivocal: 1. Government is the most common persecutor of mankind, but "a necessary evil" against human vice.… Continue reading Paine’s Common Sense
Youthfulness
My wife's parents were always full of youthfulness. It was one of the things I most appreciated about them and it seemed they mutually shared and valued this mindset. It is a way of thinking that affects your perspective and actions. They valued babies and children and were attracted to anything that involved them. Babies… Continue reading Youthfulness

Can a Christian Lose His Salvation?
Whether a Christian can lose his salvation is an often debated issue. In the extreme views, some Christians live in fear that they can live a devoted life to God and then fall into sin at death and lose their salvation. Others boast in their freedom to do whatever they want without fear of losing… Continue reading Can a Christian Lose His Salvation?
Spiritual Warmup
I’m preparing for a new breakthrough in Spirit led prayer. Since the natural comes before the spiritual, (1 Cor. 15:46), some natural warm up might be appropriate. We might greet, then stretch, move about, brief minor calisthenics of the body, work out any stiffness, get flexible, prepare for action. Then, for stretching of the mind… Continue reading Spiritual Warmup
A Passion For God
"A Passion For God" by Lyle Dorsett is a biography of A. W. Tozer. Tozer, a Christian and Missionary Alliance pastor, is probably best know for writing the classic book "The Pursuit of God" calling Christians to a more closer intimacy with God. Tozer was born in Western Pennsylvania in poverty and moved to Akron,… Continue reading A Passion For God
What If…Love
I find that one's spouse can sometimes be their greatest critic. They live together and are as familiar as possible, which recalls the adage, "Familiarity breeds contempt". However, we are talking about those in the union of Holy Matrimony, where contempt should not be tolerated, especially from anything so innocuous as familiarity. One respected author… Continue reading What If…Love
Proof of God Denied
In Acts chapters 3 and 4, we are presented with a complete demonstration of the power of God in the new covenant age - the power of the name, Yeshua Messiah. Peter and John commanded healing to a man born lame, who was now over forty years old. This miracle of healing was beyond dispute… Continue reading Proof of God Denied
Prayer Debriefing 6
Lord, Yeshua, you are sending your message to those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. Draw them with cords of your love and set them free from the enemy's lying deception. Open blind eyes and plant your seed of faith - let faith arise. Welcome all who are burdened and weary, Yeshua will give you… Continue reading Prayer Debriefing 6
