Last week, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution criticizing what it calls Israel’s “occupation” of the Golan Heights. Perhaps not coincidentally, that typical condemnation of Israel by the UN was overshadowed by a tweet from US President Donald Trump. He wrote, “After 52 years, it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability.” Thank God for a President with the courage to stand up to the world’s elite and the determination to protect and …

In pardoning the sin, and in justifying the sinner, the penalty incurred and the obedience demanded must be met. The law must be honored, justice satisfied, holiness secured, and the righteousness, dignity, and glory of the moral Government of God displayed and magnified in the eyes of the whole universe. Let an ingenuous and thoughtful mind pause and enquire how could God exhibit His infinite abhorrence of sin, and vindicate the holiness of the law; how exact the stern penalty incurred by the one, and meet the unbending requirements of the other- by saving the sinner on the sole basis …

Let’s begin with a hypothetical story. You had attended Aunt Maggie’s birthday party on Saturday. Everybody loves Aunt Maggie, but a few family members consider her to be a little crazy. She just won’t stop talking about the Bible, the Rapture, and how everyone should accept Jesus. Now it’s Monday morning and time for work. […]

The Seed Line Shifts after Abel’s Murder Because of the murder of his brother Cain was given a banishment from God and from his home region, which was near Eden. Eden was in Southeast Iraq near ancient Babylon or about forty miles southeast of Baghdad on the Euphrates River northwest of the Persian Gulf. Cain’s leaving God was only a departure of the physical presence of God in time and space, the Shekinah Glory. One cannot get away from God since He is a Spirit omnipresent. The Shekinah Glory is seen in as moving flame at the east end of the Garden …

By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down and wept, When we remembered Zion. — Psalms 137:1 NASB The word “Zion” was first used for the ancient stronghold built on one of Jerusalem’s hills, but came to mean the city itself. To remember Zion, then, is to remember Jerusalem and all the promises God made concerning her. That attachment in memory, even by Jews who would never in their lives see the city, became a crucial part of maintaining a Jewish identity in all the foreign lands to which they would be dispersed through the centuries. Jerusalem and her …

Just as we all have a deep need to be understood by those we love, God wants us to spend time with Him Deuteronomy 4:29“But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” People long to be understood. We appear to have many acquaintances, but we all have a deep need to feel truly known by those we love most. This is because we were created in God’s image—He is a relational being who desires for His children to know and …

Reflections John 9:35-39 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.38 And he said, Lord, I believe.

By Pete Garcia -March 29, 20190175 by Pete Garcia Once upon a time, there was a dream that a man could and should be free to make his own choices, and that he was the best master of his own destiny. Although the dream of personal liberty is almost a forgotten conclusion in America these days, it had been the most radical of ideas for most of human history. It was an idea which finally promised to unshackle humanity from the weighty chains of ignorance and tyranny. For more than four thousand-years, human civilization lived and died under the subjugation of one …

Dr. Mike MurphyMarch 28, 2019 There are two things about Hell that I am absolutely certain about.  First, as any good Southerner will tell you, the official drink of Hell will be unsweetened tea.  Second, I am left knowing, without a doubt in my mind, that Hell is the official address for a “certain and popular cable company”, as I am well convinced that Satan stands as that company’s major stock holder!   For the past two months, I have been struggling in my dealings with that “cable company”.  We have had a problem with receiving a clear picture from …

God does want to give us the desires of our heart, but first He wants to purify our desires so they align with His Psalms 37:4 – 37:7 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of …
