The Salvation of the Eunuch
Acts 8:35-38 says, “Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest… Continue reading The Salvation of the Eunuch
Our Life Force
Job 10:11 "Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews." Notice Job's understanding that "me" is not the body. Our animating essence is the soul. The body is just the housing for it. God formed Adam out of dust, but it is the breath of life that… Continue reading Our Life Force
If I Perish, I Perish
“Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I… Continue reading If I Perish, I Perish
The God Who Laughs
Psalm 2:4 "He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision." When "the heathen rage" (Psalm 2:1) and the kings and rulers of the world gather together "against the Lord" (verse 2), the Lord laughs and mocks them. This should chill us to the bone - not for our… Continue reading The God Who Laughs

Have You Any Wool?
WAKE UP, SHEEP! Baa, baa, black sheep, have you any wool? You need to wake up, sheep! You’re just following the media narrative, sheep! And black? Like black helicopters, blacklists, black ops, and little black boxes. Bill Gates rides in a black car to his meetings with the shadow government. Wool? That must be some… Continue reading Have You Any Wool?
American Gods
“Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.”Judges 10:13-14 The new gods are not Baal and Ashteroth, but entertainment and politics. America has been on a spiritual… Continue reading American Gods
Entertaining Angels
“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
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
