There are those in our world who think that history, as it unfolds, is random. Others believe that history is cyclical and will eventually always come back to its starting point. Then there are others who aren’t convinced it has to be random or cyclical because history’s outcome can be determined by man. The Bible teaches us that mankind, regardless […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Nine
One recurring theme throughout much of the Old Testament speaks of a time when Israel will no longer be able to profane the name of the Lord their GOD. One of these passages is found in Ezekiel 39:7-8: “So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane […]
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL Part Seven
As we continue our examination of Jeremiah 49:34-39, we focus initially on how God will “break the bow of Elam, the foremost of their might…” Before I continue, I do want to give credit to author Bill Salus whose research work I’ve turned to for a number of years. Although my views differ in just a few areas, his research […]
WHERE IS THE URGENCY??
Three or four years ago, I watched an interview with Pastor John Kilpatrick, as well as a short YouTube video depicting what he felt God had spoken to him. Pastor Kilpatrick, who presently has a church in Alabama, was interviewed a number of times on various Christian television shows. Knowing quite well how many readers have one thing or another […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 1/6/2017
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. Psalm 116:15 I received several phone calls this week from Pastor R, the third one giving me the tragic news that the three House of Blessing teachers who had recently been arrested by the Syrian government for preaching about Jesus Christ, have paid the ultimate price for […]
URGENT PRAYER NEED…MIDEAST UPDATE 12/30/2017
“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 I received an urgent email from Jerusalem this morning and a few minutes later received a phone call from Pastor R in southern Syria. The email from Jerusalem contained some photos showing the reasons […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 12/11/2017
In light of the fact that readers have often expressed interest in how Bible prophecy ties in with current events today, and especially how it affects the work of the House of Blessing missionaries, I will interject some thoughts along that line with this update of HOB recent activities. In the past week, the world has witnessed a most amazing […]
WHAT IF?
I had a question come to mind: If I only had time enough left in my life to write one more article, what would it be? I decided I would call the article, “What If?” The Old Testament prophet Daniel was given visions of events ushering in the seven years of Apocalypse that were revealed to the Apostle John some […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 9/11/2017
As the Middle East continues to change, the work of the House of Blessing missionaries continues. Over the last handful of years, this work has spread from one mideast nation to another. The enemy of our souls was on the attack from the very beginning of this project as Pastor R was directed by the Lord to begin ministering over […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/27/2016
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil; therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:15-17: I think many of us, as professing Christians, do not think enough about what the will of the Lord may be. We have very […]
