Kingdom Come

Peace is not the absence of trouble, it is the presence of God.

"What you believe about God is the most important thing about you." ~A. W. Tozer

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at something that doesn't really matter." ~Charles Spurgeon

"What or whom we worship determines our behavior."
~John Murray

"...It is better to stand alone with truth than to be wrong with the multitude..." ~Adrian Rogers

Technology Won’t Rescue The World

The 2016 World Economic Forum, held annually in Davos Switzerland, ended last week. It displayed a bizarre blend of panic and political correctness. Each year, the WEF brings together more than 2,500 of the world’s elite, including many heads of state. They discuss pressing issues facing the world. These are the movers and shakers of business, government, and academia whose actions often have great impact on world events. This year’s discussions were chock full of political correctness, but there was

Faith in Atheism

“I remember how frustrated I became when, as a young atheist, I examined specimens under the microscope,” wrote Dr. Douglas Oliver. “I would often walk away and try to convince myself that I was not seeing examples of extraordinary design…” But the more Oliver studied the complexities of the natural world … the more inadequate he found atheistic and evolutionary explanations.* Today Dr. Oliver is among a growing number of former atheists who value the biblical truths of creation. It

Abandoning Israel – Part II

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry recently admitted that Hezbollah has 70 to 80,000 rockets (all aimed at Israel, by the way), “…and much of it supplied, obviously, across the border from Iran through Damascus.” Yet he and President Obama proudly pushed the Iran deal through. Because, I think, to most Americans and Europeans, Iran having nuclear weapons is simply “theoretical.” We don’t feel threatened by it (though we should), so who cares? But Israel will be the target of

Abandoning Israel – Part I

Within days of Implementation Day for the Iran Nuclear Agreement (JCPOA) and the release to Iran of more than a hundred billion dollars in frozen assets (and other juicy perks), Iran captured two U.S. Navy Riverine Command Boats that were “disabled” in the Persian Gulf. They only held the sailors for a day (enough time to shoot some propaganda video) before releasing them. Secretary of State John Kerry thanked the Iranians for being such good guys and helpful world citizens

How China is a Step Closer to Biblical Prophecy

The ACLU is concerned about a new program recently instituted by the government of China. It is designed to encourage compliance with the Communist regime. In a few years, though, it will enforce compliance with the regime. Today, it is voluntary. By 2020, it will be mandatory. In China, everyone has an identity card. Using that card, computers will automatically track all data on every citizen, assigning each one a “credit score.” That sounds innocent enough. In the United States,

2015: A Giant Leap Toward Prophetic Fulfillment

From the perspective of Bible prophecy, 2015 may be remembered as the year Satan’s key project began to rise. Since at least the time of Nimrod, Satan has been laying the groundwork for a one-world government, with his man in charge. Through the millennia since, he’s had successes and setbacks. But in 2015, the foundation became complete enough for him to begin building the actual edifice. [2015] seemed to bring us to the critical time when Satan’s one-world order got

Palestine – Where is It?

Throughout history and to this day, a country or nation called Palestine has never existed. This was re-affirmed again today when Jim Fletcher wrote: “Yet no archaeologist has ever uncovered evidence of an ancient “Palestinian” civilization. No one denies that there are presently “Palestinians,” but the very term is a political one, created only a few decades ago. It was designed to fool people into thinking there has always been a Palestinian presence in the land, making their claims equal

U.S Judge Pledges Allegiance to Jihad

Fox News reported on December 16, that a Muslim Civil Court judge in New York City was sworn in using the Koran, the holy book of Islam, as a testament to her radical Islamic belief system. That a judge or politician can now legally swear allegiance to the Islamic ideology, one that allows wife-beating, abuse of children, and other crimes that would usually be considered aberrations in Western countries, is a stark change to the previous, God-inspired value system of the United States.

The Mystery of the Magi

For many of us, Christmas is our favorite time of the year. But each year it grows more difficult to navigate the suffocating commercialism and secularization of the season to arrive at the genuine reason for the celebration: the incarnation of God as a human to become the sacrifice for our sins and make possible our reconciliation to God. I’m afraid we’ve lost our sense of wonderment at the unfathomable miracles that made possible the advent of our Savior. One

Unearthed Seal Reinforces Biblical Account

According to a report in by Michael Bachner on December 3, 2015, “the first ever seal impression of a Judean king was unearthed in Jerusalem on .. December 2 at the foot of the southern wall of the Temple Mount…” It was the royal seal of King Hezekiah (727-698 BCE). The inscription reads (in ancient Hebrew), “Belonging to Hezekiah [son of] Ahaz king of Judah”. “..this is the first time that a seal impression of an Israelite or Judean king has ever come

Being Secure In An Insecure World

As 2016 bears down upon us, many Christians are becoming more and more confused about what’s important, or even what’s true. At the same time, more unbelievers than ever are uneasy about what they see happening in the world. They know that things aren’t right and they’re feeling a sense of impending doom. So where do they turn? The only sure place to find answers is the Bible. In fact, the Apostle Peter said that the truth we get from

Islamophobia

President Barack Obama finally acknowledged last week that the war on terror has entered a new stage. But he’s still unwilling to admit just how serious and deadly the struggle has become. When two ISIS sympathizers attacked a Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, last week, they killed 14 and wounded 21. It may have been a defining moment for the President and the Left. When he addressed a nation in mourning last Sunday evening, he couldn’t resist the opportunity
