We’ve Never Been Closer ‘UNSEALED” author, Gary This generation has lived through the worst war in history (World War II), the formation of a proto-global government (the United Nations), the reestablishment of the nation-state of Israel after a 2,669-year hiatus, and the conquest of Jerusalem by the Jewish people. This generation has been alive during the greatest period of political, societal, and technological […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…1/20/2022…”Ready or Not, One Day Soon, it Will Be It!”
Most of us do some thinking about the new year every time our New Year’s celebrations have ended and the new year begins in earnest. For those of us who are older, we can remember how each year in the past few decades has seemed a bit more troublesome than the one preceding it—or maybe, it’s just that way for […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…1/11/2022…”Soon and Very Soon!”
As I was gathering some thoughts to include in the first update of 2022 for the House of Blessing, I thought of the Apostle Paul and how his life as a missionary began. Most of us know the story of Saul of Tarsus and his encounter with Jesus Christ on the Damascus road. In Acts 26, we find the account […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/21/2021…”Jesus Christ, the Same, Yesterday, Today, and Forever!”
The first thing I thought of this morning–after I thanked God for allowing me to wake up to another day of life, is that today, December 21st is the shortest day of the year. Starting on 12/22/2021, the daylight hours become a slight bit longer every day. That means we are now three months from springtime! This is also Christmas […]
Prophetic Signs of Jesus’ Imminent Return…LOOK UP!
I happened on another great article today, finding it embedded within another article I was reading. I have reprinted it, word for word, just as I found it, including the bibliography and author’s information. I have been blessed by Jonathan Brentner’s ministry many times over the past years, having watched his interviews with some of my favorite pastors and teachers. […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…12/1/2021…”In This World You Will Be Persecuted but I Have Overcome…”
As believers in Jesus and His message to the world, we have all learned how important The Great Commission is. For some people it is a very distinct road they travel in order to fulfill this command. For others, fulfilling this commission is not as obvious. Many of us don’t feel that our personal lives are all that remarkable but […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…11/22/2021….”A Time for Genuine Thanksgiving”
I have referred many times to the persecution the true Church of Jesus Christ has endured for the past 2,000 years. And it will continue until our Messiah-King comes and takes over the rule of this fallen world. Statistics show that more Christians have been martyred in the last 100 years than in the first 1,900 years since the first […]
***REMEMBER***
Below is a ‘word for word’ reprint of an article written by Gary, one of the founders of the excellent website, “UNSEALED”. I found it to have many reminders of why we as believers have much to be encouraged about at this late hour. It is a perfect time to REMEMBER what the Word of God has told us about […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….11/2/2021….The Goodness of God!
During the years that I’ve been writing the Mideast Updates for the House of Blessing, there have been hundreds of stories with news from the front lines of the ministry. Many of the stories have been hard to read, especially coupled with some of the photos that accompanied the stories. Other news told of the manifold blessings provided by our […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…10/20/2021…”Trusting Him to the Very End!”
In today’s update, as is the case so often, I have both good news and some that is a bit hard to take. If you’ll remember, my last update was quite short because I was on an out of state trip at the time that I received Pastor R’s call. I received another call while still on the road […]
