Richard Wurmbrand, founder of the “Voice of the Martyrs”, after having spent fourteen years in a Communist prison in Romania, had this to say, “A man really believes not what he recites in his creed, but only the things he is ready to die for. The Christians of the underground church have proved that they are ready to die for […]

Today there are numerous organizations claiming to be representatives of Jesus Christ, yet not all truly live up to the standards of the “Cross”!

All claim to be Christ’s ambassadors on Earth but not all really live up to the standards of […]

Just a few moments before I received my call from House of Blessing this week, I was reading a passage of Scripture in 1 Peter which reads: But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

At this Passover / Easter season, it is important for us to remember what this weekend is all about.

WHY JESUS? Part 2
As discussed in part one, the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden left his relationship with his Creator broken. Not only that, but death was brought into the picture, not just for the human race but also for creation itself. Everything that had been perfectly created and designed to continue in perfection throughout the eons of time, now […]
WHY JESUS? Part 1
Undoubtedly the most controversial character in history is Jesus Christ. But why? Let’s see if we can see what sets this “man” apart from all others.

Jesus had a way of doing things that often struck people as odd. One of these times was with a miracle He performed on a blind man in John 9:1-12. Here is how the account reads: Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this […]

In 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 we find these words penned by the Apostle Paul: We are not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 14, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
Jesus warned us that there would be wars and rumors of wars, nation rising against nation, kingdom against kingdom, ethnic conflicts, and religious wars. As He foretold, this is exactly what has been happening between the time of His words being spoken just before He was crucified and the very moment of my writing this article. Since the first century, […]
