I have always thought that one of the fascinating privileges we will have as we begin an unending eternity in the presence of our glorious LORD and God, will be access to the millions upon millions of individual stories, recorded with intricate, accurate detail, of the lives of God’s faithful people as they navigated life on this fallen planet. I […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 4/18/2016
The update is not going to be a long one today, but I do want to get out the latest information that I have received. I was very happy to receive a phone call from Pastor R this weekend. His voice was not quite normal, but that is to be expected due to the chemical poisons he was exposed to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 4/12/2016
I have found myself again reminiscing this last week on all the things that have transpired these last four years since a divine appointment connected me and my wife, Anne, to House of Blessing. God has done such amazing things…awesome interruptions from the spiritual realm that have permanently changed things here in the physical realm. But, this is what God […]
IT IS HARVEST TIME
Matthew 9:36-38: “When he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest” Jesus […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 4/5/2016
At the beginning of today’s Mideast Update, I would like to include the 23rd Psalm and some brief observations. It reads like this in the New King James version of the Scriptures: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my […]
THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD, Part 3
In our study of the infallible Word of God, we ended part 2 with an emphasis on the divine identity of Jesus Christ. We will continue with that theme as we unfold some more unique golden nuggets that God has embedded in His Word to show us there is no other Book like the Bible. As introduction to what we […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 3/21/2016
A second century Church father was quoted as saying this: “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.” From the time that Stephen, the first official Christian martyr, was stoned to death in AD 36, Christians have been laying down their lives for the One who gave His life for them. I believe God has a special […]
THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD, Part 2
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at some of the unique aspects of the Bible, including some of the physical details and authorship. We find that dozens of authors contributed to the recorded word, yet the closer we scrutinize what has been written, it becomes quite apparent that there was really only one author, the Holy Spirit of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 3/11/2016
After receiving the tragic news of the death of brother Omar and his wife a few days ago, I decided that I would write an update this week around them and what their lives have meant to the Kingdom of God as they worked as missionaries through House of Blessing. As regular readers will know, our contact with House of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 2/26/2016
My update today will be shorter than usual. I do have some new information that I feel is important to get out. As regular readers already know, there has been a huge harvest of new believers all over the Mideast, but especially in and around the Fallujah area. Thousands of people have made Jesus Christ their Lord and Master, especially […]
