After my phone call this week from Syria, I have made several attempts to write an update that truly reflects the nature of what is happening in the lives of House of Blessing’s missionaries and the thousands of refugees that they are ministering to. As I receive each update, I am reminded again and again of the unique time in […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 11 (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
In Part 10 of this series, we started taking an in depth look at how the end time wars would unfold. The Old Testament has given us intricate detail of what is still to come. Because we are the generation that is going to witness these events coming to pass, it is important to understand what the Word of God […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 10, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
I have spent more time on the “Suddenly” series of articles than originally intended, but due to many questions in the previous weeks, I feel more in depth information is warranted. Our world is changing much more quickly than most are aware of. I heard someone say the other day that it would be much easier to keep one’s head […]
GOD’S MYSTERY, The Church Part 1 “The Loveless Church”
As most of us know, today we find ourselves at a time in history like none other. I have said this in other articles and have applied it to numerous aspects of our lives. Today I would like to apply it to the Church. What is the “Church”? Who is the “Church”? What is the function of the “Church”? The […]
“Suddenly!” Part 9, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
In Part 8, we looked at several Scriptures describing the days that Jesus warned would come. Several verses in Matthew 24 speak of war. As we look back at world history, it is plain to see that man’s history is filled with war. So what was Jesus speaking of that is different than what man’s miserable history already shows? As […]
“Suddenly!”, Part 8 (Apocalyptic Red Horse and Rider)
Often, those who pay special attention to current events and how they fit into the prophecies of the Holy Scriptures, are thought to be out of balance–sometimes even leaning toward fringe areas. Yet, as time passes, prophecy is fulfilled one Biblical prediction at a time, and things earlier seen as on the fringe become recognized as surprisingly quite real. Having […]
CRUCIAL TIMES
Quite often in recent times I have experienced an urgency in my soul. This is one of those times so I must set aside everything else I have been working on and share some thoughts that are crowding my mind today, including what I believe is coming at us in our immediate future. As most of us know, we are […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/14/2014
“Greater Love Hath No Man” There are stories and then there are stories. Some are forgotten not long after they are read. Then there are the stories you find yourself going over again and again in your mind. So many times in the last two years I have tried to imagine myself in some of the stories that have been […]
The Controversy of Faith and Works, Part 8
The Parable of the Sower shows four categories of people in relation to how they hear and receive God’s Word. Many don’t come to hear, others have lives clogged up with too many distractions and cares to hear and apply, others are going through very difficult times and can’t find their bearing. But then there are those that hear, understand, and apply God’s Word. They bring fruit, 30-fold, 60-fold, or 100-fold.
