The Faithful Church Of the letters sent by Jesus to seven churches, only two received no criticism. The Church of Philadelphia was one of these. The name Philadelphia in the Greek means brotherly love or love of the brethren. The Church of Philadelphia has also been called The Missionary Church. There are many Scriptures about love. Let’s look at two […]
COSMIC WARNINGS OF COMING SIXTH SEAL EVENT?
Many voices today are warning of catastrophic events imminent. Is this just a matter of conspiracy or sensationalism? In this article I will offer some scientifically verified changes in our environment as well as the cosmos that very few are aware of and these stunning events appear to be setting the stage for John the Revelator’s Apocalypse in the Book […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 3/11/2019 Is War Near?
This week is the eighth anniversary of the beginning of Syria’s civil war. One would think that the regime in Syria would be more than anxious for the end of the nightmare that the people of Syria have been going through. Yet, even after millions of Syrian civilians have left the nation and millions more have been displaced within the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 2/25/2019 The Fields are White to Harvest
Something that I am hearing more and more from those with a great love for God is a longing to finally get to go HOME. There is also a fatigue I am hearing in many who have expended themselves nearly to the end of their human limitations. For those in the Church who are not experiencing the extremes of persecution […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part Eight
The Dead Church Studies of the letters to the churches in Revelation 2-3 are fascinating, but I find the letter to the Church of Sardis of particular interest. The things Jesus had to say in describing this church are unique, and I believe you will find the same as we take an in-depth look at this passage of Scripture. Let’s […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part Seven
The Corrupt Church I am reminded of Jesus’ statement to the disciple Nathaniel when he called him to become a disciple. On first meeting Nathaniel, Jesus said, “Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Guile is the word used in the Old King James Version of the Bible. In numerous translations it is translated “deceit.” I found the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 2/8/2019 Our GOD is a Miracle Working God!
For those that may think that miracles don’t happen in our time, this may be a difficult story to accept, but it has happened before and it has happened again! Our God is sovereign and He will do what He decides to do when it is the right time to do so. We find one of the accounts of Jesus […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 2/5/2019
Today, as I think about the Middle East and all the turmoil, I can’t help but agree with the Apostle John’s prayer in Revelation 22:20: “Even so come, Lord Jesus!” The turmoil in our world is increasing by the day and there is a longing growing strong within the hearts of true followers of the Messiah to be brought HOME […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part Six
The Compromising Church In this critical hour of history, one thing that is sadly missing in many churches today is a message of real spiritual substance. When we read back over church history, it is noteworthy that it was not some great ecclesiastical, theological finesse that brought about the great revivals. Rather, it was plain and simple preaching about […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…MESSIAH Part Five
The Persecuted Church The second of the seven churches that the Messiah addressed in Revelation chapters 2 and 3, is the Church of Smyrna. As we continue through the comments Jesus made to these churches, it is important that we remember that all seven churches did exist in the first century. Each church however is also a representative of a […]
