And If The Dead Rise Not – by

Jack Kinsella “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.” (1st Corinthians 15:51-53) Throughout the New Testament, the word translated as ‘mystery’ comes from the Greek’musterion’ which literally means ‘secret’ or ‘hidden thing’. In our modern English, however, ‘mystery’ is understood in the Agatha Christie or Sherlock …

How Great Thou Art!

Dr. Mike Murphy It amazes me how the things we see around us can often bring our mind to a different place.  Sometimes it takes us back to a precious memory in our life. Others times it point out to us a situation we need to deal with today.  And other times it stills us, allowing the Lord to speak to us, reminding us that He is there. As I heard the thunder, I made my way to the window to see the storm as it approached. I could see the lightning in a distance, and watched as the rain …

The Lost Sheep

We are all prodigal sons and daughters. Read these words of Jesus and come home. Luke 1515 Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were coming near Him to listen to Him. 2 Both the Pharisees and the scribes began to grumble, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.”3 So He told them this parable, saying,4 “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the [a]open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 When he has …

Spitting in the face of cooperation with Israel

Unlike Israel, which has a burgeoning understanding with many of its Arab neighbors based on a shared interest to prevent the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear weapons, the Palestinians have been kissing up to Tehran. (July 23, 2019 / JNS) If further proof were needed to illustrate the futility of diplomatic overtures to the Palestinian […]

Escape From the Fallen Planet

Pete Garcia Growing up, I used to listen to a Christian pop-rock band called ‘Crumbacher’, who released an album in the mid-80‘s called ‘Escape from the Fallen Planet’. It was a little campy, full of keyboard riffs and cheesy 80‘s outfits, but looking back on it, I’ve grown quite fond of the concept of it as in regards to the Rapture. So, it’s not that I’m a fan of escapism, but of one day being reconciled to my Creator and becoming what I was intended to become. Not a tent of flesh, prone to sin and the fallenness of this …

The Holy Spirit: Filling the Believer

When we refuse to submit to the Holy Spirit in every area of our life, we limit His work in and through us. Ephesians 5:15-2115 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 …

Nowhere to Hide: Part II (Dedicated to the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Haters)

By  Pete Garcia July 22, 2019 Perhaps you’re a Christian, but you think the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is all a bunch of warm hooey. It is an escapist eschatology; built specifically for weak-spined western Christians who are afraid of a little persecution. You frequently tell anyone who will listen, that the word “rapture” is not even in […]

Moving Day

Dr. Mike Murphy Among my many, many faults and shortcomings, not always asking others for prayer is near the top of that list. I have always found it easier to pray for others than to ask them to pray for me. Looking to lead others in prayer for those around me in need, instead of directing that focus to the problems in my life. And I must admit, it often leaves me trying to put the proverbial lipstick on a pig, With the cancer, others will frequently contact or message me, asking me, out of concern, how I am doing. …

Courage in the Lonely Hour

It is in the midst of loneliness that we learn to rely exclusively on God. DEUTERONOMY 31:6-86 Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.” 7 Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance. …
