“For there stood by me this night the angel of God.”—Acts 27:23.

by

TEMPEST and long darkness, coupled with imminent risk of shipwreck, had brought the crew of the vessel into a sad case; one man alone among them remained perfectly calm, and by his word the rest were reassured. Paul was the only man who had heart enough to say, “Sirs, be of good cheer.” There were veteran Roman legionaries on board, and brave old mariners, and yet their poor Jewish prisoner had more spirit than they all. He had a secret Friend who kept his courage up. The Lord Jesus despatched a heavenly messenger to whisper words of consolation in the …

Blue Sky Option #4

by

War News Monday, April 10, 2017 Pete Garcia A little over two years ago, I penned an article entitled “The Hermit Kingdom” which talked about the secretive and belligerent nation-state of North Korea. My opinion then was North Korea would not survive the decade without regime change. Regime collapse speculation has been ongoing since Kim Il Sung died in 1994, but as the old saying goes… a broken clock is still right twice a day. My belief then was based on the increased information flow into the kingdom via a thriving black market economy, movies, thumb drives, and cell phones …

As I passed by, I was reminded of a memory. In 1986, we moved from Costa Mesa to what would later become the city of Chino Hills. Back then there were fewer roads and …

Walking With Jesus in a Storm

by

We might miss experiencing God’s presence if we are expecting Him to come to us in a certain way.   Matthew 14:22 – 14:33 22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 …

“I AM • the Way (דֶּרֶךְ, deh’-rek) • the Truth (אֶמֶת, eh’-met) • and the Life (חַי, chah’ee)

by

Bible Study Planet Yeshua said to him, “I AM • the Way (דֶּרֶךְ, deh’-rek) • the Truth (אֶמֶת, eh’-met) • and the Life (חַי, chah’ee) No one comes to the Father except through Me.” There were three entrances into the Tabernacle and Temple of God: 1. the Outer Courtyard Gate, 2. the Gate to the Temple proper itself, 3. and the Veil inside the Holy of Holies. These were reckoned by the Jews under the names ‘The Way’, ‘The Truth’, and ‘The Life’. → ‘The Way’ was the emblem for the gate to the Outer Courtyard – where the Brazen …

YOUR CONVICTIONS ABOUT THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST

by

As the most famous symbol of Christianity, the cross is everywhere—artwork, jewelry, logos, even advertisements. But the cross of Jesus is much more than a marketing gimmick or a symbol for a world religion; it is the clearest revelation of God’s love for the world. http://s2.content.video.llnw.net/smedia/781563d6695d48a496254cad9c2ea179/_i/LoTo5ixlPsLITAU1sDAPB1IHd4PfJV8jjxPbyXhok/15y17_web.mp4

Today is Palm Sunday

by

. This is the day we traditionally honor as the day when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The people had laid palm branches in to road as He rode by and were welcoming Him. One week later, they were crying out “crucify Him”. What is so interesting about this event, is to consider a very important Bible prophecy. The prophecy is in Daniel and is tradtionally known as “Daniel’s 70 weeks”. This prophecy was given to survey the entire panorama of Jewish future (Daniel 9:24-27). From the going forth of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem and its walls …

79 Valley of Dry Bones Prophecy

by

Ezekiel is about to enter a new state of awareness. God is taking him to a state we may call spiritization. God lives in a state of existence which is outside of time and space. Our existence is the physical creation. The physical universe, and space all emerged in one single event of creation inside the word “beginning” (Hebrew Rasheet) as Genesis 1:1 cites. In other words God created the earth, heavens and all that is in them out of one single creative event within the onset of the domain of time. The Hebrew text of Genesis 1:1 reads “In …
