Church-Goers Losing Interest in Partisan Religion
Excellent message by Buff Scott Jr. at Apostasy Watch. If you’re a News addict, as I am, you have heard the report that a large number of church-goers and religious zealots have “given up the ship” and are no longer supporting and promoting partisan religion. Catholicism is losing more ground than her counterpart, Protestantism, as per the report. The report indicates that […]
Are You Prepared?
From Herescope Reading and watching the video embedded within this article is a wake-up call to the Church in the West. It also bears witness to the ridiculous “non gospel” we dare call The Gospel which is taught and preached in America. quote: While reviewing church history recently I was reminded of some of […]
Prayer Needed: American Missionary Phyllis Sortor Kidnapped in Nigeria
The Free Methodist Church in the U.S. is now calling for prayers after one of their working missionaries, the Rev. Phyllis Sortor, was abducted by masked and armed men in Nigeria Monday morning who’ve demanded a $300,000 ransom for her safe return. Her distraught family, however, say they cannot afford it. “Early this morning we […]
Patriotism is Harlotry
This article was shared at facebook by Teresa Cassie under a post in which the “big block-buster film” American Sniper is being discussed. Hope you’ll read it. As I wrote there, America’s reaction to this film shows me we’ve reached the bottom of the barrel, folks. And what the author of this article below (which […]
The Need for the True Prophet
A.W. Tozer, excerpted from Of God and Men A prophet is one who knows his times and what God is trying to say to the people of his times. What God says to His church at any given period depends altogether upon her moral and spiritual condition and upon the spiritual need of the hour. […]
“If The Foundations Be Destroyed…?”
While there are any number of messages I’ve encouraged readers here to listen to and/or read, all of them excellent, this is one I have no problem with saying is truly prophetic. Sensing this in my spirit as strongly as I do, friends I do encourage you to read the intro and listen to this […]
“ABRAHAM OUR FATHER, JERUSALEM OUR MOTHER” Conclusion
This will be concluded with Alan Morrison’s closing thoughts. This has been a lengthy essay, one I’ve only shared a portion of. Because I omitted entire sections, I encourage you, if time permits, to read it all. What I personally found of interest was the fact this was originally written in 1998. I can honestly […]
“ABRAHAM OUR FATHER, JERUSALEM OUR MOTHER” (5)
Want to take a moment to thank those who have sent me private feed-back concerning this essay. May God bless you. Part (5) tackles what I believe is a vital issue: that of chosen-ness. Claim No.2: “The Nation Israel is still God’s Chosen People Today” We hear a great deal of complaining today from Christian […]
“ABRAHAM OUR FATHER, JERUSALEM OUR MOTHER” (3)
Continuing with Part (3) Having examined modern Judaism and compared it with the spiritual meaning of Judaism in the Bible, one can only conclude that modern Judaism, biblically understood, is a false religion and should be treated as such. By this we do not mean that its adherents should be treated with disparagement, but we […]
What is the vision of the Jews who want to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem?
This is only one of a number of similar articles I’ve come upon which has greatly disturbed me. It appears a greater number of Israeli Messianic Jews, then I originally believed, are now caught up in Israeli Nationalism. This summer I became engaged in a discussion with one Israeli believer at a discussion board, who […]
Evangelical Christians come under attack as more move to oppose Israeli occupation
Interesting article today at Mondoweiss. If you’re not familiar with the blog, it is ran by a small group of (Jewish) journalists who stand opposed to many actions taken by the Israeli government. Today’s post appears to be written by guest author John Wagner. Quote, On October 26, 2014, the Jerusalem Post carried an article […]
All crossings closed, Gaza is totally isolated from the world
The Israeli response comes at the height of movement of goods, funds and building materials for the rehabilitation of the thousands of homes and buildings damaged or destroyed during the summer fighting. It “joins” the closure of the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian side, and is in practice totally disconnects Gaza from the rest of […]
Jesus’ Teaching About the Land
This is a very good essay presented by Robert L. Reymond at Knox Theological Seminary in 2006 on the topic of “Who Owns the Land”. (HT to Psalms115three blog). Below is only one section of this presentation, which I hope those who visit here will take time to read and study in it’s entirety. Jesus’ Teaching […]
The Substance is come and the Shadow has gone; and we do not remember it
“Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my […]
The Religion of the Pharisees
I see two things happening within the Church today: (1) there is a powerful move involving the return of the spirit of the Judaizers and (2) the religion of the Pharisees, which has always been within the Church, is growing stronger. This message at fortheloveofhistruth blog, takes on the false religion of the Pharisees. Its […]
Post tenebras lux
Very good message at Mike Ratliff’s blog tonight, I was born into a Christian family in 1951. I remember very well how the small town in which we lived in Oklahoma would be effectively shutdown on Sundays as all of the churches in town rang their bells (if they had them) and their auditoriums were […]
An Examination of Dispensationalism by William E. Cox – Conclusion/Summary
My hope is those interested in Church History have gained or benefited from this series. If like me, you are interested in knowing where (and when) many of the doctrines we have been taught originated from and if they are really based upon the Word of God or came from the mind or imagination of […]
An Examination of Dispensationalism by William E. Cox (4)
Part (4) in the series, Examining Dispensationalism by William E. Cox. See: Part (1) – Part (2) – Part (3) Source: The GOSPEL TRUTH VII – DISPENSATIONALIST BELIEFS AND THE CHURCH With reference to the Christian church, dispensationalists believe it came into being as a result of the rejection of the alleged earthly kingdom. They teach that the church […]
An Examination of Dispensationalism by William E. Cox (2)
Not sure if anyone has had a chance to look over or read part (1) but a couple things the author mentions really bears pointing out. The first being the relative newness of the theology known as Dispensationalism and that it’s original promoters never attempted to deny this, but instead attempted to explain this away […]
Interfaith Deceptions: Liberty University fines students for not listening to cult leader
I’m a little under the weather folks, but wanted to share this with you today. (HT to Steve at Apostasy Watch for sharing the link to this article) Liberty University invited Mormon Glenn Beck to preach to its students at its compulsory convocation last week, handing out $10 fines to residential students who didn’t have […]
Dave Garrison documents global surge in Muslims leading Muslims to Christ
This is wonderful encouraging news. Praise God for what the Holy Spirit is doing among Muslims Missiologist Dave Garrison documents global surge in Muslims leading Muslims to Christ. He calls it, “Unprecedented.” After traveling 250,000 miles through Dar al-Islam (“House of Islam”) as Muslims call their world, career missiologist David Garrison came to a startling […]
“We were a one-issue organization: Israel!”
This afternoon I came across this old article (from 2012) written by John Hagee and published as an op-ed at the Washington Post. That one statement from Hagee, chosen as the title to this post, really says it all, doesn’t it. What the CUFI organization, John Hagee, and Christian Zionist are all about. They are all […]
Jesus came to fulfill what Israel failed to achieve
*I’ve been doing more personal studying of late, and wanted to get some thoughts written down and saved: those of my own and some ideas from a few others. I’m also praying about making some major changes concerning the blog. More about that later. It’s interesting that God, under the old covenant, referred to Israel […]
CUFI Fears it’s losing its Grip on Evangelical Christians
Interesting article in today’s Haaretz, and if it’s true, this is one Christian who won’t be shedding any tears… Support for Israel is weakening among evangelical Christians, prompting a new struggle for the hearts and minds of younger members of America’s largest pro-Israel demographic group. While hard numbers are not available, evangelical leaders on both sides […]
Evangelist Steve Hill Passed
Sad to read of his being taken. Regardless of any controversy which touched his life, I can honestly say I’ve never heard another evangelist preach the gospel message of salvation, who cared more about lost souls then Steve Hill. Drugs, alcohol, and crime, dominated his life when he was a young man, but after coming […]
