As most of you know, I pay close attention to world news. This is nothing new for me, as I have done so most of my adult life. I have however never been more convinced that our world is hurtling into a time like none before it. The confluence of events this year is impossible to miss for anyone watching. […]
THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD, Part 2
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at some of the unique aspects of the Bible, including some of the physical details and authorship. We find that dozens of authors contributed to the recorded word, yet the closer we scrutinize what has been written, it becomes quite apparent that there was really only one author, the Holy Spirit of […]
GOD’S MYSTERY, The Church, Part 6, “The Apostate Church”
I cannot even imagine how many articles and books have been written on this subject. Until the Lord calls His remnant of true believers home, there will be more. This is just one of them. The question has been asked many times: “Would the early church recognize the Church today?” I guess you would have to ask, “Which Church?” In […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 5/11/2015
Today there are numerous organizations claiming to be representatives of Jesus Christ, yet not all truly live up to the standards of the “Cross”! Ministries everywhere compete for donations, but most have a high percentage of funds going to pay for overhead. All claim to be Christ’s ambassadors on Earth but not all really live up to the standards of […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 4/17/2015
Just a few moments before I received my call from House of Blessing this week, I was reading a passage of Scripture in 1 Peter which reads: But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for ‘love will cover a multitude […]
WHY JESUS? Part 4, (Final)
There have been hundreds of so-called prophets and false messiahs in the almost 2000 years since Jesus ascended back to the throne of God. All of them eventually die, and NONE of them have ever come back from the dead! Jesus was very specific in His warning for us not to be deceived by any of the many frauds that […]
WHY JESUS? Part 2
As discussed in part one, the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden left his relationship with his Creator broken. Not only that, but death was brought into the picture, not just for the human race but also for creation itself. Everything that had been perfectly created and designed to continue in perfection throughout the eons of time, now […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 3/23/2015
Jesus had a way of doing things that often struck people as odd. One of these times was with a miracle He performed on a blind man in John 9:1-12. Here is how the account reads: Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this […]
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON?
During this last week, I have found myself doing a lot of thinking about the chaotic situation in our world today. Part of the world is in the throes of great evil with unspeakable atrocities being committed against the human race–things that are so horrific it is difficult to accept the fact that human beings could stoop so low as […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 3/2/2015
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 […]
