I thought of a couple passages of Scripture as I prepared to write this short update. The first is found in Psalm 27: The LORD is my light and my salvation: Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…6/15/2019…God Never Fails
Over the past 7+ years I have had the privilege of writing these updates for the House of Blessing, God’s answers to prayer and His miracles have come in many forms, but year after year God has proven His presence with His faithful missionaries. Many stunning miracles have been witnessed; even the dead being raised before the eyes of onlookers. […]
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 […]
AUTHOR and FINISHER…Messiah Part Four
The Church That Lost its First Love After the Messiah revealed Himself to John the Apostle in the first chapter of Revelation, He gives him a message for seven specific churches of the many in existence at that time in what today is modern Turkey. Jesus was not only speaking to these seven churches with facts descriptive of their individual […]
One More Miracle…So Many More Souls! 11/19/2018
In the 7 years that we have been associated with House of Blessing, we have heard and shared many stories of miracles, seldom seen in the West, that have changed people by the grace of the One True God and Savior, Jesus Christ. While the greatest miracle is always a person’s changed heart in repentance leading to salvation, it is […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/23/2018 “ALMOST THERE!!”
I titled the previous Mideast Update, “Racing to the Finish Line,” and it truly is a race. Our world is in trouble but we serve Someone who is greater than the world or its problems. It is He that put us on this earth and it is He who chose the slot in time for us to be here. He […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 9/25/2918
I am presently on a very short trip away from my home state but want to at least get a quick update out since it has been longer than usual since the last one. The situation in the northern part of Syria is not good. Although there has been a temporary hold put on the large military campaign that is […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 8/6/2018 “Urgent Times!”
“Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’ Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” John 4:35 As I write today’s update, I am thinking of the arrangements being quickly made by the House of Blessing missionaries to make […]
A DIVINE PRIVILEGE
Very few people who sing the old hymns written through the years know the life stories behind the words they are singing. Quite often, what made these hymns so powerful and moving, was the pain and suffering the composer had to go through. It is these bitter experiences that are often the source of the greatest inspiration. Although God is […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 4/15/2018 Is Time Running Out?
We truly are living in the very last moments of this dispensation. We won’t pass this way again! There are many Scriptures that speak to us about the importance of time, especially our use of it. Some people may be a little offended by them–even though they are words from God himself. Although God speaks to us in His love, […]
