One of our local weather forecasters stated that a series of storms are approaching the West Coast. He said, “The first low and cold front will arrive around Saturday the 2nd of November. An even deeper low will develop just a few days later and move offshore on the...
Some believers think that demanding a government support their civil rights is unspiritual. Paul didn’t think so. When Paul and Silas, who were Roman citizens, were arrested, beaten, and thrown into prison in Philippi, it was a violation of Roman law. It was an...
Sometimes the main players in a scenario are not those in positions of visible power. Those who stand at their side and influence their decisions are the real power brokers. A situation in Paul’s life illustrates how this happens. “They reached Paphos, where they met...
A harvest of fruitfulness is coming in response to your faithfulness. You thought you would be standing in a bountiful place, watching the fruit of your faithfulness grow, but instead, you have been surrounded by a dry, barren desert. You did not realize God was...
In 2017, futurist David Houle said we had entered what he calls The Shift Age. Houle forecast The Shift Age will take place in the twenty-year period between 2017 and 2037. In those twenty years, cultural change will happen at a rate faster than in any 50 year period...
