MIDEAST UPDATE…1/30/2024…”White As Snow”

As Christ-followers, one of the most important parts of the message we share with the world around us is the fact that mankind, in its fallen condition, needs redemption. This necessitates a supernatural act. The only hope for mankind is the supernatural provision which came by way of Jesus Christ, His crucifixion and the power of His shed blood to […]

As we begin an already turbulent year of 2024, it is important for all of us, as believers and followers of Jesus Christ, to keep our bearing and maintain a proper perspective on what our lives here on this earth are all about and where we are going. We must remember we are just passing through. The Apostle Peter put […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…12/5/2023…”Planting Seed”

Greetings Everyone: In my latest conversation with brother Talal, we discussed the week or relative quiet experienced due to the temporary pause in the war between the Hamas terrorists and the Israeli Defense Force. During this time, Hamas required an exchange of three Palestinians for every hostage released. The hostages released were primarily women, elderly, and children. The prisoners also […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….10/31/2023….”Only One Life To Live”

I have a very short Mideast update today but before I share it, I would like to share a few short thoughts that I may or may have not shared at some time in the past. I have several devotionals that I read most every day. One of them is Jonathan Cahn’s “Book of Mysteries.” A devotional I’ve read several […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…9/17/2023…”Today is the Day of Salvation”

I received a phone call from Pastor R just before the official beginning of the Jewish Rosh Hashanah observance. We had a brief conversation about the latest events, particularly in northern Syria since the Eid al Adha observance. He then mentioned that the three Jewish fall feast days were coming in quick succession. Rosh Hashanah on September 16-17 (just now […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…9/10/2023…”Joy Unspeakable”

As I was enjoying my morning quiet time with the Lord a few days ago, I thought back to the many testimonies shared with me, many of which I’ve been privileged to put to paper. These testimonies are from Muslim sheikhs, imams, and an unknown number of refugees who have come to experience the glorious freedom and release from the […]

Chronology of the Seals, Part Fourteen, Revelation 7

At the conclusion of the 13th installment of this series, we ended by saying that Jesus warned the disciples, and by extension all of us, that the end of the age would come with a sudden, unexpected, cataclysmic destruction. The Sixth Seal and all events connected to it certainly fit the description Jesus warned about.  As we look at Revelation […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…8/9/2023…”Everlasting to Everlasting”

A question that comes to mind at times, and badgers us as believers, is will God’s love for me truly endure? Will it continue even through my failings and sinful mistakes? Can my own weaknesses as a Christ-follower ever wear down His love for me?  Psalm 103:17 tells us that The love (mercy) of the LORD is from everlasting to […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….7/16/2023….”Your Work Shall Be Rewarded”

Prior to sharing the latest House of Blessing update, I have a question for you. Does it ever feel to you that the Lord is moving slower than you would like? Do you ever find yourself nearly panicking because it seems He is going to show up late? Note God’s interesting response to a threat from an enemy nation to […]
