Undoubtedly the most controversial character in history is Jesus Christ. But why? Let’s see if we can see what sets this “man” apart from all others. An unknown author wrote a piece called, “One Solitary Life” which I share here: “Nearly two thousand years ago in an obscure village, a child was born of a peasant woman. He grew up […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 3/23/2015
Jesus had a way of doing things that often struck people as odd. One of these times was with a miracle He performed on a blind man in John 9:1-12. Here is how the account reads: Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 3/2/2015
After my phone call this week from Syria, I have made several attempts to write an update that truly reflects the nature of what is happening in the lives of House of Blessing’s missionaries and the thousands of refugees that they are ministering to. As I receive each update, I am reminded again and again of the unique time in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 2/15/2015
I was out of my hometown at the time of my last update from the Middle East. As I took the call while visiting the Oregon Coast, I was walking through a neighborhood that is located right up next to the mighty Pacific Ocean, the largest ocean on our planet. After prayer and our goodbye, I could not help but […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 2/8/2015
The last two weeks has proven to be harrowing in many ways for House of Blessing, and for its leadership. I would like to share a Scripture that fits the situation well before sharing a few details. In 2 Corinthians 4:7-15 we find these words penned by the Apostle Paul: But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the […]
GOD’S MYSTERY, The Church, Part 5 “The Dead Church”
I have found my study of the Church of Sardis interesting. The things Jesus had to say in describing this church are unique, as I think you will find as we take an in-depth look at the Scriptures. Here once again, we find descriptions of a real church which existed in the first century days. We also find that the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE: 1/27/2015
After my latest phone call from House Of Blessing out of one of the huge refugee camps in Syria I could not help but think of some Scriptures that speak to the relationship we as representatives of the Kingdom of God have with both the redeemed as well as the lost all around us. I thought I might start this […]
DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, Part 2 of 2
Continued from Part 1 Tom Horn and Chris Putnam, in their well documented and very detailed book, “Exo-Vaticana” have an exhaustive list of verified quotes by Vatican officials. I am only referring to a handful for this article, but as the reader can already see, there is no question about the direction that Roman Catholic doctrine is heading, and it […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 1/2/2015
I would like to begin this update by saying thank you to the many readers who have followed this story, some from the very beginning of this project at the end of March 2012. It has been an incredible saga, a story that can only be told in its fullness when we find ourselves in the presence of our Messiah, […]
