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 […]
GOD’S MYSTERY, The Church, Part 6, “The Apostate Church”
I cannot even imagine how many articles and books have been written on this subject. Until the Lord calls His remnant of true believers home, there will be more. This is just one of them. The question has been asked many times: “Would the early church recognize the Church today?” I guess you would have to ask, “Which Church?” In […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 5/3/2015
While receiving my weekly phone call out of Syria from Pastor R*****, I was reminded of a passage of Scripture in Philippians: For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but […]
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?
During this last week, I have found myself doing a lot of thinking about the chaotic situation in our world today. Part of the world is in the throes of great evil with unspeakable atrocities being committed against the human race–things that are so horrific it is difficult to accept the fact that human beings could stoop so low as […]
