Is it possible to tell if an idea or occurrence, like a natural disaster, is from God? If it’s possible, then HOW can anyone tell what’s truly of God and what isn’t? John gives us a simple way to discern truth from error in 1 John 4:1-6. We are to try, or test, the spirits [...]

Irony in the obelisk
Is God upset with what’s going on in Washington, DC? I believe he is. That’s why the earthquake hit the east coast, in my opinion. And now a symbol of America is closed because of damage caused by the earthquake that sent people fleeing from U.S. government buildings in DC yesterday. I’m glad no one [...]

It’s not just Christians who are hypocrites
Now that the 2008 Presidential race is in full swing, once again some mainstream news channels want to direct attention towards evangelicals as the enemies of positive progress in the U.S. Just the other night (either Thurs., Jan. 10 or Fri., Jan. 11) Mike Galanos and Erica Hill were commenting on how there are those [...]

Heavenly saints of the seven last plagues
The book of Revelation provides a lot of insight into how God operates in these last days. It gives us glimpses into how the physical and spiritual worlds interact as well as their affects on each other. As in other books of the Bible, Revelation shows how important angels are to carrying out the Lord’s will. [...]

With the global warming debate heating up all over the world, one California judge decided he has heard enough of the nonsense and threw out a lawsuit filed by CA attorney general Jerry Brown. U.S. District Judge Martin Jenkins of San Francisco stated that the lawsuit against the six largest automakers ignored the obvious fact [...]

Sometimes God hates church services
I’ll admit that there have been times in my adult life when I have been weary of going to church. Why? Well, after having long weeks at work dealing with sinful people, I have dreaded going to church and having to face some of the same things I see in the world. I used to [...]

Water, water, everywhere!
If you’ve been paying attention to the weather news lately, there has been severe flooding in many parts of the world, including here in the U.S. In some areas, rainfall records are being broken. From Texas to the UK, Sudan, Nepal, and China, these floods are destroying property, infrastructure, and lives. China has been the [...]

By their fruits ye shall know them
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. …A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. …Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the [...]

“Judge not, lest ye be judged!”
This is the often misquoted scripture that is thrown around when people who are caught up in sin are confronted about their wrongdoings. I have had it said to me on several occasions when I spoke up about some wrong things that were going on that I saw. In one instance, there was a pastor [...]
