We read in Scripture many things that man, in his limited capacity to understand, will find difficult to accept as truth. One of the most common is the birth of Messiah Jesus to a young Jewish virgin named Mary. Many see this as nothing more than a religious fantasy or fairy tale. Others throughout the centuries have said that this […]
BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 5
In previous parts of this series on the Blood of Jesus we have looked at a sampling of Scriptures from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. It was not an exhaustive sample but gave us an idea of the importance of blood in the storyline God gives us from the creation of Adam through the return of Jesus as KING […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/10/2015
It has been a bit longer than normal since the last update and there is much to tell. As previous updates clearly recounted, the Muslim month of Ramadan ended with many thousands of people having become followers of Jesus, the true Messiah. Among multitudes of Muslim people today there is a great craving to know the real truth. In the […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 4
(Note: All Scriptures are in the New King James Version unless indicated differently) We have come to the place in this study where we will look at how the symbolism of the sacrificial system in the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament in the blood of Jesus. The Old Testament sacrificial system that God set up with the […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 3
Many people avoid reading the Old Testament and yet it provides some absolutely fascinating reading. The true accounts, which are verified in many ancient writings in addition to the Bible itself, show us the intimate involvement of our Creator with the human race, His prized creation. In Part 2 of this study on the Blood of Jesus, we began tracing […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 7/27/2015
Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. (Acts 6:7 NKJV) This very thing has been happening in the Middle East today! In the Book of the Acts, we find the early rains of the Holy Spirit being poured out […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 2
I strongly believe that the Bible must always be taken literally unless the context makes it clear otherwise. We must understand that concepts are being taught in the Word of God about the Blood of Christ, the most unique Blood in the entire universe. For the purpose of salvation of man, this Blood is much more than a biological substance. […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 1
I recently wrote a four part article titled “Why Jesus?” In that teaching series, we went into some detail on what sets Jesus Christ apart from any other proclaimed great teacher, prophet, or messiah. In this series of articles, I will deal with the subject of the “Blood” of Jesus. Although I do not intend the teaching materials to be […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 7/20/2015
The Muslim day of Ramadan ended Friday, the 17th of July this year. I received a phone call from Pastor R***** with glowing reports from the different areas that the House Of Blessing missionaries have been scattered during this year’s Ramadan. As regular readers of this blog already know, this time of Ramadan has been a special time of soul […]

Today, as I write this update, the Islamic month of Ramadan is nearing its close for 2015 in just six more days. As I spoke with Pastor R*****, founder of the House Of Blessing ministry in the Middle East, he was very excited to tell me of the great success the HOB missionaries have been experiencing as the Spirit of […]
