Therefore Keep Watch

Good morning, everyone When I’m asked at what point during the week I start thinking about the message for the next mailing, I usually say “About five minutes after I hit the ‘send’ button.”  But it’s a good thing that I didn’t put too much early effort into this week’s promptings, because the attack on Iran last weekend has replaced whatever message…

Guarding Against the Whisper

Good morning, everyone Back in the 70’s, I read a book authored by Hal Lindsey entitled ‘The Late, Great Planet Earth’, which greatly influenced the beginning of my Walk, and my interest in prophecy.  I also read one of his follow-up books, “Satan is Alive and Well on Planet Earth’, which is the direction in which I want to go…

Made In His Image

Good morning, one and all Is it just me, or does it seem like our country is becoming more and more divided?  We have political divisions, racial divisions, and divisions about immigration, taxation, religion, and even the number of genders that exist.  (it’s two, by the way).   You know me-I like to keep things simple, so I like to…

Jesus Understands

Happy Friday, everyone I, and probably you, have been taught that when Jesus was on Earth, he was 100% God and 100% man.  As a former math teacher, here I will admit to still being on the path to a complete understanding of this concept.  For example, when someone would say they were going to give 110% to some endeavor, I…

Finding God’s Way Through Divisive Issues

Friends in Christ: Whenever a great controversy erupts in society, it lingers and festers because the two “sides” in the discussion disagree about what the most important issue is. An example is “Right to Life” vs. “Freedom of Choice/Right to Privacy.” In Keith Myers blog this week he dares (!) to put his toe in…

The God Who Knows Your Name

Happy Friday Do you sometimes go through days, or even weeks, and not feel very special?  Maybe you’ve got health, money, family, neighbor, or boss problems, and you start to wonder what it’s all about.   Let’s go back to the beginning.  Scientists have identified over 1.3 million animal species on earth, all created by God:   “God made the wild animals,…

Always Be Prepared

Good morning, one and all “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring   forth.”   [Proverbs 27:1]   Dateline: Minneapolis, Minnesota– I had already started an email for this week, but then most of us saw on the news about how a Sunday morning church service was interrupted by an unruly crowd screaming “ICE out” and…

Keep Seeking

Good morning– You’ve seen those TV shows, or read in books, about where treasure hunters would try to find the buried gold.  They would use a map which contained clues, or even a dotted line, to guide them to the treasure chest. if they followed the path to the end, they got their reward.  But if they stopped their…

God is on the Move

Happy, happy Friday, everyone– Just in case you haven’t noticed it yet, let me point out this fact: God is on the move.  Of course, God has always been on the move to some extent, in ways big and small.  But for now I’m talking about the times we live in.  It’s fairly obvious to see some of the…

From Disappointments To God Appointments

Happy Day-After-My-Birthday! One of my co-workers gave me some advice that has benefitted my life ever since.  I was probably complaining about some mis-treatment I had received, and he advised:   “Never expect someone to live up to YOUR expectations.”  In other words, we should not expect others to treat us as we would them.  And I hope that this statement helps…
