Everyone tends to see life through their own eyes. When a baby is born in America, many hospitals, usually though nonprofit organizations, send the baby home with a "care package" of diapers, baby oil, wipes, and the like. Some even provide expensive items like car seats. In Israel, all newborn babies are sent home with … Continue reading Our Own Eyes

There Is Nothing
Elijah, the great prophet of the Old Testament, is an unknown when he comes on the scene. The first time we read of him, he tells king Ahab that it will not rain unless he (Elijah) says so (1 Kings 17:1). The Bible does not speak of Ahab's reaction. I reckon that is because Ahab … Continue reading There Is Nothing
America In Scripture
Over the years, people have tried to place America in the end-time events of Scripture. It is difficult for many to accept that a nation as powerful as the United States is not a prominent player in the last days; therefore, it must be there. The reason for the first paragraph is when people see … Continue reading America In Scripture
There Comes A Point
God is love (1 John 4:8), but God is also "a consuming fire" (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29). Both aspects, love and consuming fire, are seen in the book of Jeremiah. Israel had forsaken God and fallen into sin. The Israelites were so far into sin; they were no longer embarrassed by anything anymore (Jeremiah 6:15; … Continue reading There Comes A Point
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?
The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
We are just past the halfway point of 2020, and if nothing else happened this year, it would still go down as one of the strangest years in history. The best word to describe it, I believe, is "uncertainty." People are uncertain about their health, the economy, social reform, the nation, the world. Christians around … Continue reading The Pre-Tribulation Rapture
Destruction Of The Foundations
"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" - Psalm 11:3. When I see this verse, the first thought that comes to mind is, "What are the foundations?" My second thought is, "What about America?" One needs to go no further than the Declaration of Independence to get a list of American foundations. … Continue reading Destruction Of The Foundations
To The Graduates Of 2020
We had the pleasure of attending my granddaughter Brooklynn's High School Graduation Ceremony last week. The local homeschool group hosted the event. Our State Senator, Phil Boots, gave the speech. In our area, some of the high schools have not yet held graduation. Others had online ceremonies. Still, others only allowed immediate family in the … Continue reading To The Graduates Of 2020
The Road Of The Loss Of Respect
Have you ever wondered why old habits are hard to break? I reckon the longer we do something, the harder to stop. As an example, you know what they say about riding a bicycle - you learn when you are a kid, and you never forget. Just yesterday, I had a sixty-one-year-old tell me of … Continue reading The Road Of The Loss Of Respect
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
