“And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the Lord, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord God! for because I have seen an angel of the Lord face to face.”--Judges 6:22 Just like the “men” who went with Abraham into Sodom, here is another example of an angel (possibly even a Christophany -… Continue reading Entertaining Angels

A House Divided
My church doors are open. It seems that whenever I tell another "Christian" that my church is still holding services (which is not yet illegal in my state), they look at me completely side-eyed. Some have gone as far as to say that I am endangering them because I choose to meet with other Christians… Continue reading A House Divided
An Ungrateful Murmuring
"And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!" Numbers 14:2 After the Israelite spies came back from the Promised Land, ten of them warned… Continue reading An Ungrateful Murmuring
The End Times (Part 3): The Antichrist
In part one, I discussed my thoughts on why I believe we are in the “end times” predicted thousands of years ago in The Bible. In part two, I offered possibly pathways to explaining away the Rapture and reaching the one-world government, currency, and religion. In this section, I hope to deal with the person… Continue reading The End Times (Part 3): The Antichrist

The “End Times” (Part 1): Are We There Yet?
*****UPDATE: 10/28/23***** Here we are again, but there have been even more "end times" events. The most pressing of the moment - World War III. Just three weeks ago, Israel was attacked by Hamas. Since then, Hezbollah (from Lebanon) has also engaged Israel. Hamas and Hezbollah are, of course, funded by Iran. A new "axis… Continue reading The “End Times” (Part 1): Are We There Yet?
Salvation is Yours. Just Accept It
Coronavirus. COVID-19. Pandemic. Whatever your desired nomenclature, there is no doubt that this pestilence is a global phenomenon. It is not necessarily frightening for its symptoms – like Ebola liquifying your insides while you bleed from your body’s natural openings. It is not scary for its lethality – the total number of deaths appears relatively… Continue reading Salvation is Yours. Just Accept It
The Pandemic Panic
Dan 4:35 - “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?” During this Coronavirus pandemic, the world has gone completely… Continue reading The Pandemic Panic
The Art of Argument
Argument is one of the greatest forms of communication we humans have. If you really want to get to know someone, argue with them. You will find out if they are well-studied or a regurgitator of information. You will find out if they are adaptable. You will find out if they are kind, patient, and… Continue reading The Art of Argument
