It is hard to argue with cold hard facts. More and more we are seeing how our Heavenly Father is intervening in some of the most intense situations in order to reach deep into the hearts of the spiritually blind. Today’s episodes will once again show the love of God for the lost. 13 Now when they saw the boldness […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/16/2025….”The Power of the Word of GOD”
Anyone who has read the Mideast Updates in the past weeks will realize that the powerful work of the Holy Spirit working through God’s people has escalated. We may not see much of it in the West, but it is definitely happening in third world nations. God is not willing that any perish and He will use anyone willing to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/12/2025….”All Creation Groans”
One passage in the Bible which has more meaning to me every passing day is found in Romans, the eighth chapter: 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/1/2025….”Water From A Dead Well”
Those who have read the Mideast Updates for any length of time are well aware that God will quite often intervene in supernatural ways. We serve a God who has no limits. He is not like us! Many people are confused by the fact that the Bible teaches us that God is one God and there is none other like […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/26/2025…”Even Angels Don’t Fully Understand”
As I was thinking about how to write today’s update, I reviewed reports of the past few weeks coming from the Middle East. Then I read in 1 Peter the following: 12 …And now at last this Good News has been plainly announced to all of us. It was preached to us in the power of the same heaven-sent Holy […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 7/31/2017
Week after week in these updates, I share a little bit of the news coming out of the Mideast. One of the reasons I do so is because many people do not pay much attention to the news. I was talking to a banker friend a couple of days ago and asked her if she was aware of the latest […]
WHERE IS THAT WOLF? Part 5
One of the most troubling conflicts today is the one between Israel and the Palestinians. Here in Part 5, although I don’t intend to offer a clever solution that has eluded world leaders for decades, I would like to detail some truths that the mainstream media is not including in the discussion of the problem. I will also go a […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 1/21/2017
I have used Ephesians 5:14-17 as a passage of Scripture lately in Bible studies and even mentioned it on occasion while writing these Mideast Updates. The passage reads like this: Therefore He says: “Awake you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/13/2016
In one of the calls I received from Pastor R this past week, I had the amazing opportunity to speak with three of the new graduates from HOB’s School of Ministry. These three men, whose names were Mahmud, Abdullah, and Gaze, knew very little English but were able to greet me on the phone. They felt it a blessing to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/4/2016
As I read one news article after another, I think of a great event that is soon to come. Soon, the Lord of Glory will return to this world which today is spinning out of control, and He will take full control over it once again. The Psalmist penned these words in Psalm 24: The earth is the LORD’s, and […]
