I was pleased to receive my weekly phone call from Pastor R**** out of Syria once again. He let me know that the work of the ministry is going well and there is a continuous flow of new volunteer missionaries being raised up. I asked a few questions this time so that I could get a better picture of how […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God–Part 6
In the last portion of Part 5 of this series, we went into some detail describing why personal worship is such an integral part of our walk of intimacy with God. We looked at how worship must be a way of life and we showed how a personal time set aside to commune with God is absolutely necessary. We continue […]
“SUDDENLY” Part 2
In Matthew 24 we have the account of the disciples of Jesus coming to Him and asking Him how they would know when the end of the world was coming as well as the time of His return. This is how Jesus responded, starting at verses 3-4: “And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, his disciples came unto […]
SPECIAL NEWS ALERT! 3/23/2014
I have had an ominousness for a while now. If I could put it into words it would be to say that things in our world have digressed to a much lower point than most of us are aware of. God however is not leaving the Church without warning, thus news alerts like this one. God’s end-time clock is much […]
MIDDLE EAST UPDATE, March 22, 2014
I received a call from Syria once again this last Friday. Along with the good reports of the work being done by the volunteer missionaries and how effective the simple message of God’s love has been, I was once again stunned at the incredible danger in just being there, much less trying to share the Messiah Jesus with people! Looking […]
Where Are The Prophets Today?
As long as man has been on the earth, he has always wanted to know and understand the future. After Jesus shocked his disciples by telling them that there was a day coming when not one stone of the Temple would be left upon another, they came to Him and asked Him in Matthew 24:3-8: “As Jesus was sitting on […]
Walking In Intimacy With God, Part 5
I want to discuss worship and its importance to the intimate walk with Christ. The subject of worship is not something that can be left out when discussing spiritual intimacy with God because spiritual intimacy is fueled by worship. Many do not understand what real worship is. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary: “the act of showing respect and love for […]
MIDDLE EAST UPDATE, 3/15/2014
During my weekly conversation with Pastor R**** this morning, I was struck by how his voice relayed his fatigue and growing weakness in the face of serious physical health challenges. On the one hand, he is convinced that his time on earth is drawing to a close, and yet there is an urgency in his voice for the things that […]
MIDDLE EAST UPDATE, 3/8/2014
When I received my most recent call from inside Syria by our friend, Pastor R****, founder of the House Of Blessing, I could not help but think of a Scripture found In Joel 3:14 which says: “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near…” Pastor R**** said that the volunteer missionaries who are […]
“SUDDENLY” PART 1″
There is very little that scares me anymore these days. I do however have things come to mind, quite often in the middle of the night that not only wake me up, but cause me to go into a cold sweat. What comes to me again and again is the horrible thought of multitudes of people caught totally off guard! […]
