I think one of the things that has astounded me the most from the reports I receive from the Mideast, is the phenomenal response to the gospel of God’s love for the human race. As the chaos continues to escalate, the Christian missionaries are sought out even more for any help they can give, whether food, medicine, or a spiritual […]
MIDEAST UPDATE 10/3/2015
As I write this update today, I have many things running through my mind. There is the news of the past few days, telling of unfolding world shaking events; there are the increasing attacks on Christians around the world; and there are the stories of great faith and perseverance of true believers in Jesus Christ who have gone through unimaginable […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/23/2015
In the Book of Acts (The Acts of the Apostles), we find story after story giving accounts of real life events as the fledgling Church began to fulfill the commission that Jesus had left them with before He ascended back to His throne in heaven. We find accounts of thousands of people transformed through the Blood of Jesus. We also […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 9
As has been made clear through this series on the uniqueness of the Blood of Jesus, we, the human race, cannot EARN our salvation. We have looked at Scriptures showing the importance of allowing the Spirit of God to rule in our lives as LORD so that we can evidence the freedom bought for us at the cross of Calvary. […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/12/2015
The outpouring of God’s Spirit around the world today is truly amazing. I read of the mighty things happening in some of the most difficult places on earth and one can only bow the knee and thank our Father in heaven for His matchless love for mankind. In this world where chaos is becoming the order of the day, in […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/27/2015
In the tenth chapter of Hebrews we find these words: “…let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/18/2015
As anyone knows that keeps up on the world news, the warring going on in the Middle East has not slowed in the least. If anything, it continues to escalate. Many nations are represented by the military forces opposing each other. In Syria the figure of the dead since the civil war began in March of 2011 varies. The Syrian […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 6
We read in Scripture many things that man, in his limited capacity to understand, will find difficult to accept as truth. One of the most common is the birth of Messiah Jesus to a young Jewish virgin named Mary. Many see this as nothing more than a religious fantasy or fairy tale. Others throughout the centuries have said that this […]
BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 5
In previous parts of this series on the Blood of Jesus we have looked at a sampling of Scriptures from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. It was not an exhaustive sample but gave us an idea of the importance of blood in the storyline God gives us from the creation of Adam through the return of Jesus as KING […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/10/2015
It has been a bit longer than normal since the last update and there is much to tell. As previous updates clearly recounted, the Muslim month of Ramadan ended with many thousands of people having become followers of Jesus, the true Messiah. Among multitudes of Muslim people today there is a great craving to know the real truth. In the […]
