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

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

Why destroy Joseph’s Tomb?

Last month, the Palestinians once again firebombed Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem, Israel. This is at least the 10th time in the last 30 years the Palestinians have tried to destroy the tomb. Now, Muslims claim to revere Joseph and hold his tomb to be sacred. So why do they frequently try to destroy it? In Genesis, Joseph extracted a promise from his brothers that after his death they would carry his bones from Egypt back “…to the land which He

Kim Davis Has What U.S. Judges Lack

There are a couple of things really wrong right here in America that have a brand new stench. First, we have a government consisting of three components that were designed to stay in check, with each one able to perform certain duties the others aren’t allowed to by law.   Each portion of the three parts is responsible for following a unique rule-set.  The design is very good, and in fact lasted until the middle of year 2015. Hal Lindsey stated, “On

9/11/01 and Isaiah 9:10

In a recent copy of Coffee Talk Light News (September 11, 2015), an article by Lee Griffith caught my eye. I have used Mr. Griffith’s appropriate title of his article for this post. In his piece, Mr. Griffith notes that more lives were lost in the 9/11 attack on the U.S. than in the attack on Pearl harbor. He notes, “There is actually a shocking similarity between the 9/11 attack on our nation and something that happened in ancient history.

Iran & Palestine Getting Chummy on Common Goal

­An important, but almost completely ignored, development took place recently in the Middle East. I believe it comes as a direct result of the agreement between the West and Iran regarding its nuclear program. It has powerful prophetic implications. To date, Iran’s dominating influence has been exerted mainly among Shi’ite Muslims. The fact that Shi’ites comprise just 15% of the world’s Muslims – the other 85% are Sunni – has helped to restrain Iran’s global influence. It has effectively kept

A Warning to Those Who Abandon Israel

Throughout Scripture and history, there have been severe consequences for the lack of recognizing the importance of Israel, God’s chosen people and nation. Here is what Greg Laurie says in his book “Signs of the Times” : Looking into the future of the Jewish race, God told the Patriarch Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.” And so it has been through history. Every nation that has risen up to strike

Obedience: Government vs. God

from A.D. The Bible Continues: The Revolution That Changed the World [2] When the Sanhedrin demanded that Peter stop preaching about Jesus, Peter shot back a telling question: “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him?”  (Acts 4:19).  At some point today, believers will face this question as well.  And as Western governments drift further away from godly principles, it will be something we face more often and with more serious consequences. Christ made it clear

A Nation Turns

On Friday, June 26th, the Supreme Court of the United States overrode the states and the voters when the justices, by a single vote, imposed legalized, same-sex marriage on all America. The resulting dissension it caused among the minority members of the court is almost unprecedented. Some of you may be wondering right now, “How can this legal development have ‘prophetic implications’? Don’t tell me this is going to usher in the Antichrist!” Well, maybe. And not because the recent
