After my phone call this week from Syria, I have made several attempts to write an update that truly reflects the nature of what is happening in the lives of House of Blessing’s missionaries and the thousands of refugees that they are ministering to. As I receive each update, I am reminded again and again of the unique time in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 2/25/2015
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 10, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
I have spent more time on the “Suddenly” series of articles than originally intended, but due to many questions in the previous weeks, I feel more in depth information is warranted. Our world is changing much more quickly than most are aware of. I heard someone say the other day that it would be much easier to keep one’s head […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/7/2014
THE WIDOW SISTERHOOD Earlier this year, R**** shared with us the story of a Syrian woman who witnessed the murder of her husband at the hands of her son, because he refused to deny his new-found faith in Jesus Christ. What happened when her son demanded that she deny Christ in front of close to 400 witnesses has been told […]
