Iran: How Does It All Fit?
In January 2016, I was talking with then-Indiana Governor Mike Pence. We were talking about the nuclear deal President Obama made with Iran six months earlier. Knowing that Governor Pence served in the US House of Representatives and knowing from Scripture that Iran, along with Russia, Turkey, Libya, and several other nations, will invade Israel … Continue reading Iran: How Does It All Fit?
Peter’s Conversion
The most significant thing Peter did during his three years being discipled by Jesus was not walking on water, it was a statement he made. One day, Jesus asked the Apostles about who other people thought He was. They responded that some people thought he was John the Baptist risen from the dead or one … Continue reading Peter’s Conversion
The Acceleration Of Ezekiel 38
Since Israel became a nation again in 1948, Ezekiel 38 has been one of the most discussed and written about prophecies in the Bible.

In Biblical language, Gomer is also mentioned, but scholars … Continue reading The Acceleration Of Ezekiel 38
Will America Do What’s Needed?
Mark 3:24-26, “And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

When he comes to power, I picture him as a JFK type: younger than most politicians, very charismatic, direct, and presenting a persona everyone wants to be around. I can already hear the … Continue reading Is The Antichrist Alive?
Spiritual Influence
Have you ever wondered what the world was like before Christianity? For us Christians, we have the Old Testament, and we can read how God interacted with Israel and the Hebrew people. We see a little about what life was like in Babylon and Egypt as we read of the Jews being slaves. The Old … Continue reading Spiritual Influence
Spiritual Basic Training
At my graduation ceremony from basic training for the US Army, the speaker came out, stood behind the podium, took a giant deep breath, and said, "Finally, you made it!" The latter half of the last chapter of Ephesians (chapter six) lists the spiritual weapons Christians need to fight the good fight and live a … Continue reading Spiritual Basic Training
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
Does America Have Hope?
History was always one of my favorite subjects in school. Wars move borders, crush and strengthen ideologies. They are pivotal to human history. Wars occur for various reasons: a power-hungry leader wants more power, a nation is hungry; hence, the decision comes to grab land from a neighbor to grow more food, two leaders are … Continue reading Does America Have Hope?
