After last week's Preacher's Point describing the battle of Psalm 83, questions came in about the invasion of Israel in Ezekiel chapter 38. Most correspondence mentioned that they had never heard of the Psalm 83 battle. Prophecy teachers often bring up the Ezekiel invasion in their lectures, sermons, and books. However, any Bible teacher mentioning … Continue reading Two Wars Are Coming

Israel At War
Saturday morning, it was too early to get out of bed, I rolled over. While lying there, something inside me (the Holy Spirit) kept telling me to get up and look at the news. Within minutes, I was watching Benjamin Netanyahu declaring war on Hamas. I watched i24 (an Israeli 24-hour news station) throughout the … Continue reading Israel At War
Judgment Is Coming
Jeremiah 30:7 calls it "the time of Jacob's trouble." The prophecy of Daniel 9:24-27 causes us to use the term "Daniel's 70th week." It is called "the day of the Lord" thirty-one times in twenty-nine verses throughout the Bible. It will be the most horrific time in history (Matthew 24:21; Daniel 12:1; Joel 2:2). The … Continue reading Judgment Is Coming
Take It Or Leave It
God starts His Word with a great take it or leave it statement. Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Either God created everything, or He did not. The theory of evolution puts doubt in people's minds about the validity of Genesis 1:1. This doubt begins in kindergarten or before. … Continue reading Take It Or Leave It
Our Heart And Our Stuff
With many people, if they finish the month with $100 in the bank, things are looking up. On the other hand, if the balance dropped below $100,000, other people would consider themselves broke. I belong to the former group. If you want full disclosure, my checkbook balance as I type this is $47.65. It is … Continue reading Our Heart And Our Stuff
Believing VS Believing In
There is a difference between believing something and believing in something. I believe that eating healthy is good for me, but if I believed in eating healthy, I would have consumed far fewer Big Macs and many more salads. If I believed in eating healthy, my eating habits and lifestyle would change. Without a doubt, … Continue reading Believing VS Believing In
What is good preaching?
What is good preaching? When it comes to style, there are many choices. Some ministers preach like an intellectual giving a dissertation. Speaking in a monotone, it would take a nearby explosion to get them to move from behind the pulpit. Others move around so much a pulpit seems unnecessary. Of those that move around, … Continue reading What is good preaching?
UFO or Demon
This week's Preacher's Point is difficult for me to write. The difficulty is that I like to stick to Biblical facts; this week is nearly all theory. The topic is something I have never preached or written about. I have only discussed this in a few private conversations. We had a guest speaker in college, … Continue reading UFO or Demon
Influence
Each one of us has individuals that influence our life. Parents are high on many people's list of those making a difference in their lives. After all, without our mom and dad, we would not exist. Teachers are also high as influencers in people's lives. Thinking back to my school-age years, there are teachers I … Continue reading Influence
Are We Closer Than We Think?
Things developing in Israel over the last few weeks and especially on Easter must make one wonder if the end time events prophesied in the Bible will take the world by surprise very soon. The Times of Israel posted headlines throughout the day on Easter Sunday. The times listed are Israeli local times. 1:07 am … Continue reading Are We Closer Than We Think?
