Jesus
The Lion is on His Way
I do recall this and thought it was interesting too, In September of last year the president of a large nation stood before all the nations gathered in the assembly hall of the United Nations in New York City. He spoke about peace and understanding, but in his speech he also proclaimed that Jesus was […]
Wonderful Peace
The past few days this old hymn has been on my mind. I even found myself humming the tune throughout the day. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” – (John […]

Lessons For Israel From An Ethiopian Man And Isaiah 53
Good Bible lesson at Soul Refuge There is a great passage of scripture which is found in the New Testament book of Acts that is very clear, regarding the prophecy from Isaiah 53, as it pertains to Jesus Christ. This would be a good passage of scripture to preach and expound on, at the annual CUFI […]
The Kingdom of God (2)
Has your mind or heart ever been so full that reining in your thoughts in order to express them coherently is difficult? This is how this topic is affecting me. For the last two years the topic (the Kingdom of God) and what the term expressly means when used in God’s word, has been very […]
The Claims of the New Testament
From part (2) in the series, Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth, by Kevin Daly “A basic problem I see in your hermeneutical principle is you seem to use the New Testament to interpret what the Old Testament says, but I think that is the wrong way to go about it.” ~ Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum Scripture […]
Israel and Theology – Two Opposing Views
Earlier today I read two very opposite views concerning Israel and theology and thought someone else might find them interesting. Our first article comes from Rev. Malcolm Hedding, of The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem: Quote, In recent years a new form of Replacement Theology has arrived on the Christian scene called Fulfillment Theology. Like Replacement […]
One Jesus for liberals, another for conservatives
This is an interesting article at The Guardian quote.. New research shows how believers tailor Christian teachings to fit their own political viewpoint Love thy neighbour, so long as he is not an illegal immigrant. Blessed are the poor, so long as they are deserving. And, though it may be harder for a rich man […]
Peace in Believing
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you; not as the world gives.” —John 14:27 “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on You.” “Perfect peace!”—what a blessed attainment! My soul! is it yours? I am sure it is not, if you are seeking it in a perishable […]
The Kingdom Now
The Kingdom Now, By Anton Bosch Food and material blessings are some of the felt needs, as I discussed last week, and political empowerment is another. The people living in Israel in Jesus’ time had two priorities: The first was for material provision and the second was for political reform and to be liberated from […]
“Behold, thy King cometh..”
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zechariah 9:9 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard […]
The Blood & The Mercy Seat
“It is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul” (Lev. 17: 11). “There I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy-seat” (Exod. 25: 22). “Him hath God set forth to be a propitiation” (Rom. 3. 25) Reader! have you ever laid to heart that this is […]
“The ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.”
“The ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.” John 14:30 The temptations of Christ were not random attempts to trick Him into making a mistake, but were part of a calculated effort to destroy or disqualify Him by any means necessary. From that time on the adversary determined that a […]
Do You See A Child Or A King?
This message by Connie Giordano (Walking in Truth Ministry) couldn’t have arrived in my mailbox at a better time. Within the comments under the post below (“…being a Christian, I know, while Jesus promoted charity at the highest level, he was not self-destructive”) Cathy questioned the term, the baby Jesus, as applied by Bill O’Reilly in one […]
“…being a Christian, I know, while Jesus promoted charity at the highest level, he was not self-destructive”
At the ominous word “liberality,” Scrooge frowned, and shook his head, and handed the credentials back. “At this festive season of the year, Mr. Scrooge,” said the gentleman, taking up a pen, “it is more than usually desirable that we should make some slight provision for the Poor and destitute, who suffer greatly at the […]
Joy Comes in the Morning
This little message from Nathan Pitchford blessed me today. Psalm Thirty: Weeping May Endure for a Night, But Joy Comes in the Morning Images of the Savior from the Psalms (Psalm 30) There is no psalm that better sums up the very essence of the Christian life than this song of David, written for the […]
The Claim of a Christian America verses the Sermon on the Mount
How does America, or any Nation, stack up by its past (or present) actions and policies as ‘Christian’ when compared to the words of Jesus? Matthew 5: 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek: for […]
Christian America: God’s Chosen Nation/People
There is a lot on the internet concerning the erroneous topic of America being God’s chosen nation/people. Just copy the post title into google search, and check it out. This week Im reading the excellent book by Richard T. Hughes, Christian America and the Kingdom of God. I highly recommend it. What the author strives […]
God Cares For Me, Even Me
O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. Thou […]
“Taking Our Land Back For Him”…
Ever notice how dominionists (and their prophets) base their warped theology, especially as it pertains to “taking our land back for Jesus”, from the old testament? Its almost as though the enacting of the new covenant never took place. If you understand this, its easy to see how they foster these weird ideas about America. […]
Tens of Thousands of Muslims Coming to Christ
Something to ponder on: Is this wonderful harvest a result of Koran burnings and derogatory, demeaning, and fear based statements about Muslims from so-called Christian leaders appearing in the media and/or “Christian” political activists issuing public statements about bombing Iran? quote… CAPE TOWN, South Africa: Speakers gave hopeful messages of how God is moving and […]
“Let not your heart be troubled….”
Praise God! “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, […]
WHAT IS HEAVEN?
Beloved, what is heaven? What is the final glory of the saints? Is it not the best place, the richest inheritance provided by the Father for the people ransomed and brought home to glory by His Son? Heaven is a place designated by God, chosen and consecrated by Him for the Church redeemed by the […]
Help Israel with Bottles of “Living Water”
After spending the past few hours pouring over a number of ‘questionable’ items posted at various Christians news organizations, I discern the need of a nap in my immediate future. Case in point: quote.. Calls to boycott Israeli goods are gaining strength as Israel’s foes attempt to alienate the Jewish State politically and economically. Genesis Waters, […]
