This week, 12 million people were found to still be on the Social Security roles and drawing benefits. Only a very small number of people, only in the hundreds, are over 120 and still alive. There is a parallel to our theology and what we have been led to believe is...
Over the years, maybe like some of you, fellow believers have accused me of various things. I’ve had labels attached to me created by someone’s misunderstanding and premature judgment. These accusers are a very small group of people who see this world through their...
The Lord brings correction to His people from time to time, especially those who claim to speak for God. To do this the Lord used the prophet, Micah. Micah preached to both Israel and Judah during the same time as Isaiah. He denounced both kingdoms' oppression,...
A promise from God will endure and travel with us throughout all the changes and transitions of life. There might come a time when it appears the promise and its accompanying blessings have disappeared, and others will seem to have taken control over you and your...

What I am about to write will seem like a fantasy to some. It could be dismissed out of hand by others because it might come across as alarmist. To those who interpret the following either way, I offer the history of the last 100 years where nations, and believers...

During my years on a SWAT team, the man who carried all our necessary gear was called the Utility Man. A Utility Man carried bolt cutters, tape to mark doorways once a room was cleared, rope, various tools along with our flashbang and smoke grenades. On top of all the...

An attempt to write the script of a dark history is taking place. It is like the first clouds that pass overhead before the arrival of a devastating storm. Those able to read the signs will discern what is being planned and begin to prepare their hearts and...
Recently, a well-known Christian leader made an interesting comment. He said as he was switching back and forth between two dominant news networks, each with vastly different worldviews, he came away convinced that our nation is living in two different worlds. He...
