Much missionary work is going on in 2013, none more difficult than in the middle of the civil war going on in Syria. A ministry run by House Of Blessing, Jerusalem is in the thick of it and are paying a very heavy price to share the love of God to people who have no hope, nor have they ever heard of the God of love who paid the price for mankind’s freedom, eternally. This is the last installment of a 16 month saga by H.O.B. and its humble founder.
JERUSALEM UPDATE, August 4, 2013
Since the last “House Of Blessing” update was uploaded I have had two additional contacts with our Israeli pastor friend R*. I found his updates quite encouraging and again found more reason than ever to keep him and his volunteer missionaries not just in occasional prayer, but earnest prayer as the book of James calls for when it says that […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE–May 25, 2013 (Time of the Essence!)
This post is a continuation of updates having to do with an underground Christian ministry to Muslims. The emphasis has been to show those who serve a prophet and god that advocates murdering infidels because they will not convert to Islam. Bibles are given free of charge and taken over the border around Israel, lately the emphasis being on Syria which is on the edge of total collapse. The founder of this ministry was nearly beaten to death with clubs and stoned by Hezbollah, but is still sharing the love of God. This is a genuine ministry of love to people who have been taught to hate and kill. God on the other hand is a God of love, compassion, and forgiveness. This is the message of this article.
THE WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY OF THEM…
This post points out that much of the professing Church is soft, out of touch with Christ’s reality, and has gods of materialism, sports, and a feel-good Christianity. God does not accept it as He requires us to have a genuine relationship with Him that is based on His truth, holiness as He sees it, and a life lived that touches the world with His love. We, for the most part, have forgotten what the fear of God is all about–and until we find it again, are going to fail in fulfilling His commission He gave us. Time has run out and we’d better get with His program–not ours. His definition of “success” is not the one we use. We must see the difference.
ARE YOU HIS “HOUSE”?
The book of Hebrews is avoided by more readers of the New Testament than most books, other than possibly the Book of Revelation. Many of the concepts reach back into the Old Testament, in order to tie the old sacrificial system together with the new. I was doing some reading in Hebrews however and was struck by a few things […]
LOVE or LOVE?
Over the last few articles I have written quite a number of things that would likely be in the “gloom and doom” category–at least for some readers. I will continue with more subjects that deal with what we are facing this year, and the years coming–if the LORD doesn’t call us home first; many things happening within this present year […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, March 20, 2013
I have found myself a bit brain-dead the last few days and so didn’t attempt to do any writing. I got a call this morning however that had such a tremendous effect on me, I decided I at least need to get an update out on the missionary work of House Of Blessing, and make sure it is today before […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, March 1, 2013
Dear reader: I have uploaded an e-mail received from R*****, founder of H.O.B. a while back. The article he wrote is right on the money and just as pertinent today as when it was written. I have had the opportunity to pray with this man nearly fifty times or so since late March 2012, and the experiences I’ve had praying […]
IS YOUR WORLD-VIEW CONTROLLED BY YOUR SPIRIT OR SOUL?
During my morning search to see what’s new on the world scene, I ran into an interesting YouTube video which had little to do with current events, but as most of us have experienced, one video will lead to another. In a short time I ran into one video by an evangelist who happens to be one that I struggle […]
IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD–2013…
It has been a while since I have written an article for this blog. I have started several, in fact nearly finished them, but set them aside in my files or tossed the ones I ended up not liking. I decided instead to just to write about some things that are heavy on my mind, without an outline—writing as it […]
