Are we in the end times? I reckon the answer may depend more on someone's definition of "end times" than on what is happening in the world. But this column will look at Bible prophecies and current events. In Acts 2, Peter announces the fulfillment of a prophecy from the book of Joel. The prophecy … Continue reading End Times – Really?

The Great Ramping Up
Scattered throughout the Bible are the words of the Prophets. Some are blatant and obvious, like the books of Daniel and Revelation; other prophecies are more obscure such as Psalm 83. Jesus tells us of the future several times during His ministry. His most lengthy and detailed discourse of future events is called the Olivet … Continue reading The Great Ramping Up
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
It’s Holiday Season?
My youngest granddaughter had a birthday party the other day. Only the family attended, not all the family, only some of the cousins. After the presents, cake, and balloons, one of the adults said, "Does it seem like Thanksgiving to anybody?" The response was unanimous; no one thought it seemed like Thanksgiving. My first thought, … Continue reading It’s Holiday Season?
God Needs Gap People
God may be looking for someone to tell Him what for. Upon hearing that you may think, "We should not talk to God that way, it is disrespectful." Or, "I'd never tell God off." As a rule, giving God advice, may not be a good idea. However, there was a time when God looked for … Continue reading God Needs Gap People
Trust – Where Are You?
We have reached a time in our country when trust is nearly nonexistent. As a Pastor, from time to time, I will counsel married couples. Any problem can be solved if trust is still in play. Once either person loses faith in the other, it is a long, hard road returning to a working relationship. … Continue reading Trust – Where Are You?
What Is Coming.
Since the start of the virus, this column has focused mostly on Biblical prophecy. I feel it prudent to take a step back and give readers an overview of what is coming according to the Bible. With the outbreak of COVID-19, specific political news from the Middle East, natural disasters around the globe, and civil … Continue reading What Is Coming.
Division and Fear
What does the Bible say about those in authority? All authority, from a fifteen-year-old babysitter to the leaders of nations, comes from God (Romans 13:1). However, this God-given authority does not give people in authority the right to exercise absolute rule. Leaders and those in power are "the minister of God, a revenger to execute … Continue reading Division and Fear
WHILE ALL EYES ARE ON COVID…
WHILE ALL EYES ARE ON COVID… A story emerged Friday, May 22, giving signs of a critical Biblical prophecy that may be very close. Reuters had a headline of, "Iran lauds arms supply to Palestinians against 'tumor' Israel." Within the article, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of Iran said, "The Zionist regime (Israel) is … Continue reading WHILE ALL EYES ARE ON COVID…
When Should The Lockdown End? Is That The Question?
Remember the days when two people could have different opinions and still get along? Now it seems if someone yields a different opinion, the labels of racist, sexist, or some other sort of “ist,” begin to fly. We are a nation divided. In this year of the virus, opinions range from a massive government … Continue reading When Should The Lockdown End? Is That The Question?
