Many of you know that the mideast has been hit with one brutal winter storm after another. It is hard enough for a person under normal circumstances, but for those who are caught in the chaos of what has been going on in the Middle East, it has been insufferable. Last year was difficult as well. Many of you saw […]
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 […]
ARE YOU RUNNING AWAY FROM YOUR MANTLE?
I well remember the feeling of exuberance after having successfully completed my years of study in Bible college and graduating in June of 1969. I still feel the excitement of my chance to enter “the ministry”, knowing I had an opportunity to turn the world upside down for my God! As I look back years later, after having gone through […]
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 […]
DOCTRINES OF DEVILS, Part 1(of 2)
The subject of this article is one I do not relish delving into, but feel I must. Most of the Church, let alone the world’s people, have no understanding of the depth of the deception that is about to be offered on a religious silver platter. I am reminded of strong warnings in the Bible, one of which is found […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 13, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
As we ended Part 12 of this “Suddenly” series, we pointed out several Scriptures detailing what will happen to Damascus. The coming destruction of Damascus has been the topic of many studies, debates, and much question concerning the timing. Between the Old Testament prophecies penned by Isaiah and Jeremiah and other prophets, we have many details, one of them being […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 1/9/2015
Can you identify with my memory of a particular camping trip our church took on a holiday weekend a number of years ago? We had everything well planned. We had tents, food, camping gear, and sports equipment for everyone to enjoy. We even had a functioning outhouse. We brought chainsaws so we could cut available firewood for our campfires and […]
