Bringing You News From A Biblical Prospective
By Pete Garcia This part of the series is dedicated to those who think Christianity is an archaic, misogynistic, biased, racist, intolerant, homophobic, obtuse, and outdated belief system. You think that Christianity is the cause of all the world’s problems. From your perspective, Christianity is responsible for the Crusades, the Inquisitions, slavery, Jonestown, and global […]
Only the Biblically illiterate fail to see that we are in the “Last Days.” The Last Days began with the First World War as Christ said in the Olivet Discourse. Nation rising against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom. This is a Jewish idiomatic phrase, which means a conflict in the total region under discussion. In the […]
In the cold gray of the early morning three women wended their way through the darkened streets of Jerusalem. It was the dawn of the first day of the week, but their hearts were heavy. Their feet plodded slowly over the rough stones of the streets of Jerusalem. The day preceding the Sabbath they had seen their hope in Jesus of Nazareth crushed. They witnessed Him dying a cruel death by crucifixion. It had been their hope that He would redeem Israel and deliver them from their Roman oppressors; but now their dreams and hopes lay in the darkened tomb. …
The land claimed by Israel is smaller than the state of Rhode Island. In comparison to the Arab Middle East, Israel is like a single piece of sod on a football field. Carrying the analogy further, imagine that one team has to defend that single piece of sod from an opposing team that outnumbers them 650 to 1. The other team, claiming unfair advantage, is demanding the single piece of sod be divided and half of it be awarded to them. The referees agree, and penalize the defending team for refusing to concede half of its 1/6th of one percent …
This message that the apostle John received on the isle of Patmos was given by Christ through an angel to him about 96 A.D. It is therefore directed to all people since that time including us. So, for the last 1923 years the Bible has predicted the downfall of Babylon. This destruction will include the […]

1 Kings 17:2-62 And the word of the Lord came to him: 3 “Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan. 4 You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” 5 So he went and did according to the word of the Lord. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. 6 And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the …
Dr. Mike Murphy He never preached a sermon. He never led a Bible study. He never taught a single Sunday School class. He never sang a song on Sunday morning that inspired others. But he helped bring more to Christ than all those who had filled each of the above roles in the church. He was a quiet man. A man of few words, who spoke only when necessary. He would occasionally joke, saying that he was not quiet, it was just that words were to precious to waste. By most standards, he lived his life in the shadows. But …
The circumstances that trigger despair may be unavoidable, but how we respond is a choice The Trap of Discouragement Habakkuk 1:22 O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!Do you ever feel stuck in discouragement? If so, you are not alone. At some point, everyone experiences dashed hopes. Disappointment—an emotional response to a failed expectation—is the normal initial reaction. But allowed to linger, it can turn into discouragement, which hovers like a dense cloud. When that’s the case, there is no sense of joy …
The godly are tempted and tried. That is not true faith which is never put to the test. But the godly are delivered out of their trials, and that not by chance, nor by secondary agencies, but by the LORD Himself. He personally undertakes the office of delivering those who trust Him. God loves the godly or godlike, and He makes a point of knowing where they are and how they fare. Sometimes their way seems to be a labyrinth, and they cannot imagine how they are to escape from threatening danger. What they do not know, their LORD knows. …
The dog days of summer are upon us. Here is how Wikipedia describes the origin of this common saying: “The dog days or dog days of summer are the hot, sultry days of summer. They were historically the period following the heliacal rising of the star system Sirius, which Greek and Roman astrology connected with heat, drought, sudden thunderstorms, lethargy, fever, mad dogs, and bad luck. They are now taken to be the hottest, most uncomfortable […]
