Jesus Arrived in the Fullness of Time

by

Divine Intervention   Galatians 4:3-7 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ (NKJV).

Bedlam at the Border – by Hal Lindsey

by

Bedlam at the Border – by Hal Lindsey The Bible’s description of the end times shows a world where massive waves of migration will be increasingly common. Such upheaval will further destabilize an already unstable world. For those of us in the United States, precursors to those end times movements of people are beginning to hit close to home. Right now, thousands of migrants continue to mass along the Mexico-USA border. The Department of Homeland Security says that historically only about 10% of those seeking asylum will be found eligible for it. But it may be even lower this time …

by

Pennies From Heaven(A Little Christmas Hope) Dr. Mike Murphy As she watched the rain fall, she wished she could see each day of the past year washed away with every drop. To say this year had been trying, would be an understatement. She still found herself praying to God, but she could not deny that her faith had been shaken. With each day, she was only left with more questions, finding herself in so many of these quiet moments asking the Lord, “why”. She never thought her life was perfect, but is was a life she could not imagine living …

The Greatest Story Seldom Told – by Jack Kinsella

by

The Greatest Story Seldom Told – by Jack Kinsella The Bible is under attack, as it has been since it was first compiled, but with a special fervor and intensity unique to this generation. What makes this generation unique is that the principle attackers are believers themselves. It is possible to be a believer in the Bible and not be a Christian, although it doesn’t seem so until you think about it. Personally, I know lots of people who say they believe in God, or believe in the Bible, but who have never surrendered themselves to Christ. Most other religions …
