Puzzle Pieces – Russia, Israel, Ukraine.
Questions keep rolling into my mailbox. Over the last few weeks, the most asked question is - Does this Russia/Ukraine thing have anything to do with Bible prophecy? The short answer is - Indirectly yes. For the long answer, one needs to turn to Ezekiel chapters 38-39. Because names of nations change over the years, … Continue reading Puzzle Pieces – Russia, Israel, Ukraine.
Anyone Notice The Snow Outside?
Snow is polarizing. People either hate it, or they love it. "I hate driving in the stuff!" "I can't wait to get outside and build a snowman!" You get my drift (pun intended). Here in my neck of the woods, it snowed from last Wednesday afternoon till about midnight Thursday night. People started emerging from … Continue reading Anyone Notice The Snow Outside?
A Watered-Down Faith
My opinions of church may seem contradictory to many readers. On the one hand, I believe every Christian should attend church whenever humanly possible. That includes Sunday morning services and Sunday evening and mid-week services as well. On the other hand, I have written about how many modern-day church services resemble high school pep rallies … Continue reading A Watered-Down Faith
Saving Faith VS Not Saving Faith
I have a deep concern for people who claim to be Christians but show no signs of being Christian. Let me explain - often, I will talk to people in their fifties and sixties who tell me they are Christians. Then through the course of conversation, I find out they have not attended church since … Continue reading Saving Faith VS Not Saving Faith

For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his … Continue reading The Temple, The Ukraine, And 2022
In The Meantime
For roughly two thousand years, Christians have looked to the skies for the return of Jesus Christ. We started looking the moment Christ ascended into heaven. At the ascension, an angel said to those present, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is taken up from you … Continue reading In The Meantime
If My People…
In last week's column, we compared the choices of punishment David was offered by God and current events. David was offered the choice between famine, military defeat, and pestilence (disease). In the here and now, a pandemic has spread worldwide for nearly two years, and America recently suffered military embarrassment in Afghanistan. The only thing … Continue reading If My People…
The Vaccine and the Mark of the Beast
My inbox overflows with the same question from dozens of readers - Is the vaccine the mark of the Beast? Not long ago, I used this column to answer some of the more common questions I receive. The "Is the vaccine the mark" question was briefly addressed at that time; however, mail with the question … Continue reading The Vaccine and the Mark of the Beast
Lukewarmness
In the days before the "No weapons on school property" policy, you could travel to any High School in the county where I live and see quite a few gun racks in the rear windows of pick-up trucks. A high percentage of those gun racks held either a shotgun or rifle. In many areas of … Continue reading Lukewarmness
