MIDEAST UPDATE….LIGHTS IN A VERY DARK WORLD….11/14/2024

As I gathered my thoughts this week after hearing the latest news from the House of Blessing, I remembered something I had read in a devotional not long ago. A question was asked: “How does God accomplish salvation? Does He do it by removing all evil from the world?” No. Salvation came through His presence, by His coming into the […]

ISRAEL And The Coming Great Middle East War — Part Three

In light of current events in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, I am reprinting an article written in the fall of 2023. Could it be that this described scenario, or one similar to it, is imminent? It is worth a second look! Israel was heavily attacked  two nights ago, and will respond — possibly with a devasting blow! […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…8/9/2023…”Everlasting to Everlasting”

A question that comes to mind at times, and badgers us as believers, is will God’s love for me truly endure? Will it continue even through my failings and sinful mistakes? Can my own weaknesses as a Christ-follower ever wear down His love for me?  Psalm 103:17 tells us that The love (mercy) of the LORD is from everlasting to […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….3/2/2023….”Feed My Sheep”

John 16:33: “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Until our KING of Kings takes the throne of our planet, people will continue to experience tragedies of many kinds. We live in a fallen world and […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…2/23/2023…”Jesus Is The Resurrection And The Life”

As most know by this time, the death toll from the great February 6 quake is inching closer to 50,000 every day. The latest count I have been able to find is 47,244. That is a combined death count between Turkey and Syria. At least 164,000 buildings were destroyed. Many of the House of Blessing missionaries have joined those trying […]

In light of world events lately, life and death are on the minds of many—especially with the latest catastrophic loss of life from the twin earthquakes just over the northern border of Syria in Turkey. The Bible has many things to say about life and death, especially for the true believer. One of these is found in 2 Corinthians 5:1-4: […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…2/9/2023…”The Lord Is Our Stronghold…No Matter What!”

It is hard to believe it has only been four days (at the time this update will post) since the massive earthquakes that devastated Turkey and Syria. The feared number of 20,000 deaths was surpassed some hours ago today, Thursday, February 9. Judging by the extensive devastation among such a large population, the number of dead is sure to climb […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….1/14/2023….”Trusting God In All Things”

Today’s update is more in the form of a prayer request and so won’t be long. I received a call from Pastor R and need to pass on the information he related to me.  Many of us around the world have been experiencing uncommon weather patterns. It is common to have hot and cold weather in their seasons but something […]

MIDEAST UPDATE…7/27/2022…”GOD IS GOOD!”

As we come to the end of July, 2022, the situation for inhabitants of northern Syria—especially the refugees, is becoming increasingly difficult again. Turkey’s Erdogan has pushed for several years to establish and enforce a 30 km “buffer zone” just below Turkey’s border with Syria. Over the past 11 years of the Syrian civil war, Turkey has often sent military […]

MIDEAST UPDATE 1/18/2019

One of the many passages of Scripture applicable to the difficulties we have during our short journey through this physical world is found in 2 Corinthians: Blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort […]
