Biblical Healing: (1) Some Personal Thoughts

Over the years I’ve noticed people are particularly sensitive about some subjects. Healing, though not at the top, is one of those subjects. I’m not asking you to believe me. In fact, don’t. Study for yourself. We’re all going to give a personal account for our decisions on judgement day. I won’t anwer for yourContinue reading “Biblical Healing: (1) Some Personal Thoughts”

Biblical Healing: Introduction

There are those who believe God heals today, those who don’t, and those who believe he might if He feels like it. Is any of this true? And if God is in the healing business, how can we get healed? Is there a Biblical foundation to believe for healing? Because if there is, I wantContinue reading “Biblical Healing: Introduction”

Introduction To Eschatology

Eschatology is the study of the end times. Everyone has a view. Most views are based upon what someone else has to say and not the personal study of the student. I just want to give you a place to start. Of course, I know what I believe and why I believe it, and IContinue reading “Introduction To Eschatology”

Many Christians Are Fatalists

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). Why did God promise this? Simply, because He wanted to. We can’t force God to do something He doesn’t want too. When He makes a promise, it’s because it pleases Him to do so. Israel spentContinue reading “Many Christians Are Fatalists”

You Are The First

You are your first responder. You are your first line of defense. You are the first on the seen of what happens to you. It’s not a question if you’ll need to respond to something, it’s how you will respond. The adage “we don’t rise to the occasion, we fall to our level of training”Continue reading “You Are The First”

Logistics for Moses’ Departure From Egypt

I wrote this down years ago, but I don’t remember the source. I remember it was from someone in military logistics. It is estimated that Moses left Egypt with two to three million people. With that many people it would require: 1. 1,500 tons of food per day or two freight trains one mile longContinue reading “Logistics for Moses’ Departure From Egypt”

Everyone is a Prepper

What do we need when we prep? It’s easy to know. We need food, water, clothing, cooking ware, fire, sleeping accommodations, medication and medical supplies, protection, knowledge to use what we have and critical thinking. We need what we always need. It may be less than what we are use to, but it’s still theContinue reading “Everyone is a Prepper”

Do We Keep the Mosaic Law?

To understand the reason behind God giving the Mosaic law, we have to understand the spiritual condition of man. Humans became spiritually dead, fearful, and separated from God when they sinned. By nature they became unrighteous. God was no longer a part of their lives, the intimacy was gone, and humans were spiritually and permanentlyContinue reading “Do We Keep the Mosaic Law?”

Preparing Brings Hope, Comfort, and Strength

There’s a familiar scripture in Matthew twenty-four when Jesus says, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars” or as the New Living Translation says, “And you hear of wars and threats of wars.” (I like that “threats of wars,” it makes more sense to me.) We are living in a century whenContinue reading “Preparing Brings Hope, Comfort, and Strength”

Psalm 91

The importance of this Psalm in my life cannot be over emphasized. For decades it has given me courage and hope in times of trouble and fear. I want to share what I see in this with the hope that it will do the same for you as it has done for me. 1. “HeContinue reading “Psalm 91”
