His Voice Dr. Mike Murphy

His Voice Dr. Mike Murphy They were filled with grief as they left. They had known him for years, but the man they now saw was a shell of his former self. Behind the sores that covered his skin, was a man broken by all this life had recently brought his way. Many a man had claimed to lose everything, but before them stood a man who they thought had lost it all. Within minutes, he had watched as all his wealth was destroyed in front of him, and all his servants had now abandoned him. If that news was …

“I will praise thee, O Lord.” Psalm 9:1

“I will praise thee, O Lord.” Psalm 9:1 Praise should always follow answered prayer; as the mist of earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of heaven’s love warms the ground. Hath the Lord been gracious to thee, and inclined his ear to the voice of thy supplication? Then praise him as long as thou livest. Let the ripe fruit drop upon the fertile soil from which it drew its life. Deny not a song to him who hath answered thy prayer and given thee the desire of thy heart. To be silent over God’s mercies is to incur the guilt …

A Field For The Harvest

A Field For The Harvest Dr. Mike Murphy “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” How many times during each of our lives have we heard these words? Despite how often you have heard these words, how many of you know where these words come from? We all know these as words of encouragement, words that tell us the benefit of diligence and hard work. Most who know a little about these words, will attribute them to Benjamin Franklin, and his publication of Poor Richard’s Almanac. In the 1735 version of the almanac, most …

42–Heaven and Earth Will Shake

Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven (ASV, 1901). God has shaken the earth on numerous occasions in response to the sins of mankind and His desire to clear the way for the nation Israel to pass into the promise land. Beside the book of Revelation’s discussion of the tremendous judgments on the earth, and Heaven, God foretold these things through both Lord Jesus and the prophet Isaiah. Some of the characteristics of His judgment on what …

Collective Madness – by Jack Kinsella

Collective Madness – by Jack Kinsella Jewish leaders are meeting with members of the European Union in Brussels for a conference on anti-Semitism. European leaders were embarrassed last year when a poll proved what Brussels has long denied. European anti-Semitism is approaching the levels of the 1930’s — just before Europe began shoveling its Jewish population into ovens during World War II. “The most important achievement that can emerge from this conference is recognition of an emerging truth: No longer is violent anti-Semitism the exclusive domain of extreme right-wing forces; today’s anti-Semitic agitators are largely those who would import the …

Hold Fast Until Our Lord’s Return

Hold Fast Until Our Lord’s Return By Tucker Whitaker & Andy Coticchio Excerpted from Life on the Highest Plane – Ruth Paxson (1928): Revelation 2:25,“But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.” “Hold Fast.” In these days of growing apostasy the Christian is meeting with very severe test to his faith, love, zeal and fidelity. The man who rejects the foundation truths of God’s Word considers the man who holds them fast an intellectual outcast and consigns him to the slums of scholarship. This is a day in which men are suffering persecution for their faith. As …

It must be remembered that every activity of Satan and his demons is done only by God’s permissive will, and at times, God will use demons to carry out His own purposes in the world.

It must be remembered that every activity of Satan and his demons is done only by God’s permissive will, and at times, God will use demons to carry out His own purposes in the world. This is seen on several occasions. One example is found in I Samuel 16:14: “Now the Spirit of Jehovah departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from Jehovah troubled him.” In this verse, God commands an evil spirit to come to King Saul in order to torment him as a punishment for his active and deliberate disobedience against God. A second example is found in …

How can I accept Jesus as my personal savior?

How can I accept Jesus as my personal savior? Accepting Jesus as your personal Savior involves an understanding of who Jesus is, what a Savior is, and what it means to accept Jesus as Savior. Jesus Christ is often noted as a good person, yet the Bible declares He is much more. He is God in human form who came to live on earth (John 1:1). He lived, taught, performed miracles, suffered, died, and resurrected from the dead to prove He is Lord. In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 the apostle Paul shared, “I delivered to you as of first importance what I …

Faith Without Works is Dead — Not Lost 

Faith Without Works is Dead — Not Lost Jack Kinsella “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.” (James 2:17-18) The second chapter of James, often called the “works” chapter, seems to contradict other places in Scripture that salvation is by faith and stands independent of works. Paul writes to the Galatians; “I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness comes by the law, …

Rage Against the Machine

by Pete Garcia– If you think the political left is unhinged now, just wait until a minute after the Rapture of the Church happens; all hell will really break loose. Current Events It is getting harder and harder to watch the news these days without feeling some overwhelming sense of hopelessness. It’s like watching a train wreck happen in slow motion. It is the decline of western civilization who’s solely bent on suiciding itself. If that were not enough, we watch in horror as the next generation race headlong into embracing the very ideologies that made the 20th-century the bloodiest …
