I have inside word that Joel Osteen is under stress. It seems a woman has been stalking him in one manner or another. While precautions have been taken, these things can take their toll. Even Jesus found it necessary – and increasingly difficult – […]

A concentrated daily prayer blast for the nation
I’m printing an email I got today proposing a concerted effort to pray daily for the nation (and the nation of any person reading here, because we are all connected and God cares about all nations). This is a very simple idea, but I […]
Evolution thrown for a loop
If you didn't believe - or didn't know - what the Bible says here, what hope did you have? None. But if you took God at his word, and believed Him rather than the medical scientists, and took your stand for your healing, you may have been laughed at by sophisticates, but you would have had hope. You would have filled your mind with positive, hopeful, expectant thoughts. You would have prayed affirmations aloud, according to Mark 11, where Jesus tells us to pray believing that we are, right now, as we are praying, receiving. You would be filling your soul with the reality of your healing even before that healing was manifest to the natural eye.
U.S. on the verge
No matter what happens, we who love the Lord are in His very capable hands. He can and will use anything, even the nation stepping off a cliff, to bring about His will. But He always prefers mercy to judgment, and in situations like ours He looks for intercessors to provide justification for pouring out His miraculous saving power. We need to be praying, in faith.
Iran on the verge -updated w/Krauthammer
The nation of Iran nears a boiling point. Street clashes are intensifying and turning increasingly violent. There has been a incendiary statement, purportedly from military leaders who are ready to turn on the evil Islamic regime. Whether legitimate or not, the statement will have […]
This day we fight!
Yesterday I cited the admonition of Jesus, “To whom much is given, much will be required”. But God judges nations as well as people. And as He does with people, God judges nations subjectively, based on what each one could do, on what each […]
A handy online Bible utility
EDIT: As of 4/2016, this site seems down. Too bad, was a nice service. I just came across on Twitter a very neat Bible utility that you might find handy. If you want to link to any Bible passage, you can quickly write it […]
The enemy within
Institutionalized political correctness is eating away at the spiritual fabric of our nation, and is crippling our ability to defend ourselves from our enemies.
A solemn, dire warning, from Naval Commander Jerry Wilson
Before I print Jerry Wilson’s letter I need to affirm some foundational points. This is first and always a Christian blog, yet I feel the need to delve into cultural and societal issues because they affect us so deeply. I also believe that we […]
review: Destined for the throne, by Paul Billheimer
At 134 pages, Destined for the Throne is not a big book, yet it took me nine months to read it. What it lacks in length it more than makes up for in depth and power. I came across Destined while review-hopping at Amazon. […]
Counting Trials As All Joy
I have a confession to make. The past year or so has been one of the most difficult periods of my life. Like Job, I went from being very comfortable, to being very uncomfortable indeed. I was somewhat directionless back then, but it didn’t […]
Finding significance in God
I’ve been processing some pain lately, and I’ve felt the need to trace it to its root. When we have recurring spontaneous pain, it’s like the warning light on a car’s dashboard. It’s a sure sign that there’s something going on under the hood […]
Consecration
Back in college days, in a previous life, we would “pull” many an “all-nighter”. Sometimes it was for a party or a “rap session” (remember those?), but more often we were cramming for exams. That was an awful long time ago, and I can’t […]
Abide Until The Power Falls
In John chapter 15, Jesus tells us of both the necessity and the central requirement of bearing fruit: Every branch of mine that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more […]
