Right at the outset of part 2 of this controversy, I need to make clear that the principles brought up in this series of articles are not meant to throw anyone for a loop in their Christian walk. To repeat an earlier statement, and will probably be repeated again, nothing is being stated here that says we “earn” our way […]
THE CONTROVERSY OF FAITH AND WORKS, Part 1
One of the Biblical controversies has to do with the subject of “Faith” and “Works”. The controversy can be extended to the discussion of God’s “Grace”, versus His “Requirements.” This subject has been the fuel for debate for centuries. I believe it is very important for those of us who make the claim to be being Christ-followers to understand both […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE: September 18, 2013
There are many missionary organizations around the world, most of them however being “nameless”, due to having to work underground. House Of Blessing, City Of Jesus Ministry, is one of these “nameless” ones. Access to financial help, and prayer from those around the world is dependent upon outsiders who are acquainted with the work being done. This is the case with these “Jerusalem Updates” which have been uploaded for the last 17 months after a personal trip to Jerusalem in March of 2012. This is a ministry that is legitimate, and very, very effective. Tens of thousands have found Jesus Christ the Messiah in the midst of desperate times. God has met them and loved them into His family. Please make yourselves available to this continuing amazing, miraculous story. It is still being written…
CROSSROADS
I was reading in the Old Testament book of Jeremiah a couple days ago and once again read a passage that I have read many times; in fact have highlighted as well as partially underlined. This scripture makes a good foundation for a few thoughts that have been running through my mind. The passage is found in Jeremiah 6:16 and […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, August 21, 2013
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, July 11, 2013
In the last few weeks, every weekly conversation I’ve had with House Of Blessing’s founder, R*, I’ve spoken to him in Syria. As most know who have read these updates, R* was badly injured weeks ago when he and two other men were attacked by ten men belonging to Hezbollah. While they proceeded to kill the three men slowly and […]
JERUSALEM UPDATE, July 2, 2013
In the last couple weeks I’ve heard from H.O.B. three times. One of the questions I’ve asked R* each time I’ve heard from him is how his health is. He always responds the same way, telling me that he is in God’s hands and so has no complaints. R* has faith that when the time is right, God will set […]
Seven Signs We’ve Arrived At The End Of The End Of The Age, part 3C
Continued from Part 3B Let me draw a mental picture and see what you think. Most of us realize that our world is headed for numerous crisis that all seem to be converging at the same time. As I write this, the economy of the entire world is hanging over a precipice. Most all the top economists say the bottom […]
Seven Signs We’ve Arrived At The End Of The Age, part 3B
Continued from part 3A One reason it is so important to understand what really happened in Genesis 6 is because it is an important key to understand much of the Old Testament. It explains why God commanded Joshua to go into Canaan and slaughter all of the inhabitants including men, women, children, and even the animals. One would think God […]
