As I read Jeremiah, I cannot help but see the parallels between the United States and Israel of old. Do not get me wrong; Israel is God's nation. God gives promises to Israel that belong to no other country, but there are striking similarities in spiritual history. God makes it clear that Jeremiah is a … Continue reading Warnings From Jeremiah

Happy Birthday To Us
The 4th of July is upon us. My family celebrates four holidays every year: Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and July 4th. Every year, everyone gathers at my oldest daughter's house for our nation's birthday. Food, fun, and fireworks are the events of the day. Each year, we have a corn hole tournament. I had won several … Continue reading Happy Birthday To Us

What Will 2024 Bring?

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
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
RIP – A HOUSE DIVIDED
Both President Trump and Speaker Pelosi have the position and authority they have because of God. Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." A house divided shall not stand is such a vital truth God … Continue reading RIP – A HOUSE DIVIDED
