Biblical Teachings

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 …

“It is Finished and Now It Begins” Our author Matthew lays before us two reports, forcing his audience to declare their choice. We will hear and believe with the evidence or we will deny and lose all. And it all began with God dispelling darkness and welcoming the Light of the World accompanied by an earthquake to signify it is finished and it is the earth leaping for joy at the moving of a tombstone as if a pebble; Jesus has triumphed over sin and death. The risen Lord did not need the tombstone moved to allow him to leave as …

Into His heavenly palette He dips an unseen brush And as the earth lays sleeping in the misty morning hush He gently stirs in dulcet tones the purple of the sky A hint of lavender and bronze to tease the wakening eye And as the deeper tones recede with loving passion stirred He strokes the soft horizon-line in colors of His word And hope takes on the burnished hue of orange and ruddy glow Reflected in the morning dew like ruby-tinted snow The drooping heart and heavy eyes are lifted from despair As the Painter of the skies smiles upon …

Giants And Grasshoppers I cannot even begin to imagine what those forty days must have been like for Caleb. To have seen with his own eyes everything the Lord had promised. To have tasted the milk and honey the Lord had told them flowed from the land. To have seen grape bunches so large it took two men to carry them. Every word the Lord had promised, his eyes had just seen. But as he returned to their camp in Kadesh with the other eleven scouts, his ears must have deceived him. The words he heard spoken did not match …

Dr. Mike Murphy Recently, I had a very popular social site we all know well, block a few of the pictures in my past posts.  Pictures that showed Christ on the Cross, and one picture that showed the nail in His hand. Pictures of the Crucifixion we have all seen numerous times, and pictures that have been posted on this same site countless times before.  I began to wonder, why would they pull these pictures now? Why would they suddenly begin to worry about people seeing these pictures, or think that images of Christ on the Cross might now be …

Where Am I Looking? One of the reasons believers struggle with assurance of salvation is that they are looking in the wrong place. A common error is that we take our eyes off our Saviour and we begin looking at our own faith or we look at our own life. As we gaze upon SELF we get discouraged very quickly. The believer looking within: As I look at my own faith, I get discouraged. My faith seems to be shaky. The more I look at my faith the more I begin to wonder and question: “Do I really believe as …

Loneliness Being alone and being lonely are two different things. One can be alone without being lonely, and one can be lonely in a crowded room. Loneliness is, therefore, a state of mind, an emotion brought on by feelings of separation from other human beings. The sense of isolation is very deeply felt by those who are lonely. The Hebrew word translated “desolate” or “lonely” in the Old Testament means “one alone, only; one who is solitary, forsaken, wretched.” There is no deeper sadness that ever comes over the mind than the idea that we are alone in the world, that …

1 Peter 5:6-7 (KJV) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. “Just Be Held” Hold it all together Everybody needs you strong But life hits you out of nowhere And barely leaves you holding on And when you’re tired of fighting Chained by your control There’s freedom in surrender Lay it down and let it go So when you’re on your knees and answers seem so far away You’re not alone, stop holding on and just be held Your …

“She gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.” Ruth 2:3 Her hap was. Yes, it seemed nothing but an accident, but how divinely was it overruled! Ruth had gone forth with her mother’s blessing, under the care of her mother’s God, to humble but honourable toil, and the providence of God was guiding her every step. Little did she know that amid the sheaves she would find a husband, that he should make her the joint owner of …

According to Exodus 21:32, if an ox gored a neighbour’s slave to death, the owner was obligated to pay the neighbour thirty pieces of silver — that was the value of the dead slave. Thereafter, it became symbolic of contempt. At one point in his ministry, the prophet Zechariah was asked to play a messianic role (Zechariah 11:4-14), meaning a role that the Messiah Himself would play in the future, the role of the good shepherd. For a period of time, Zechariah was to feed a flock destined for slaughter. He then was to approach the Jewish leaders and say …
