“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14 Eventually this verse will be fulfilled, but when such a fulfillment happens, how many of those who were Left Behind will have been killed by various means throughout the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7). Please note: Very important that those of us who truly know the Lord, those of us who have repented and believed in the Gospel, believed into Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior are not appointed to wrath, therefore we will not be left behind on the earth when such scenarios unfold. “For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we watch or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore encourage each other and build up one another, just as you also are doing.” 1st Thessalonians 5:9-11 The question that I ponder with the recent news events regarding other ongoing ordeals, is why now is information being released regarding UFO’s? Why now, why the timing? Throughout history there have always been accounts of such things, even in ancient art. However, as a Christian, I know that these things are demonic in nature, and as such, a potential end-times deception scenario. Instead of people believing what God’s Word says about Creation, many would rather believe in beings from another planet, rather than seeing it as a demonic deception. While...

“If you refrain from delivering those being led away to death, those about to die; if you say, Behold, we did not know it; does not He who ponders the heart consider it? And the Keeper of your soul, does He not know it? And shall He not repay to a man according to his deeds?” Proverbs 24:11-12 Here we are in the end of 2017, a year that in my opinion that seemed to go by quite quickly. Yet, as the remainder of the year plays out and the next year begins, I realize just how horrible of times we really live in, as a nation, as a world. Why? “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” Jeremiah 8:20 We live in a time where bible prophecy has clearly been fulfilled. What else has to be fulfilled before Christ appears to take Home His bride, prior to the “time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jer. 30:7)…nothing. That’s right, nothing. Nothing else has to happen on the prophetic timeline. We live in a time where people, so-called evangelical christians, often from fully apostate churches are pleased to see Jerusalem recognized as the capital of Israel. While I am also happy that finally someone did what should have always been done, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital, the very thought that people are pushing so hard for Israel and peace, without realizing that the fulfillment of that very peace deal might as well be the beginning of the Tribulation. While it is certainly possible that a peace treaty could be signed that...

“Jehovah is my Shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalms 23:1 Indeed! Can those of us who truly know the Lord understand the treasures that are contained herein? …“Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalms 119:105b “I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in everything I am taught both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to lack.” Philippians 4:12 “He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me to waters of rest.” Psalms 23:2 “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” Proverbs 3:6 “He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness because of His great name.” Psalms 23:3 Just how many times do we get discouraged about one thing or another, but God restores our soul. While we often say and will continue to say, trust and obey, let’s not forget the words of that good song. ‘For the favor He shows, and the joy He bestows Are for them who will trust and obey’ “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Psalms 23:4 Silly thought, perhaps, but I certainly have come to understand these words, they are quite personal for our family, yet I have often thought what it would be like if God called me to preach in a heavily crime ridden neighborhood.

“Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many entering in through it. Because narrow is the gate and distressing is the way which leads unto life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:12-14 Everywhere people set goals for themselves. Many of those goals are focused on finances. There are goals to pay for college, goals to own transportation, goals to buy a house, goals to save for retirement. Lives are planned based upon certain interpretations of how to achieve these goals. Yet for many a goal of becoming rich is upon their hearts. All around this nation financial bubbles are exploding in growth. The amount of student loan debt acquired by those who are studying for a career to obtain such goals has hit a record amount. Auto loans have exploded reaching, new highs in indebtedness of our American society. Home buying in many places has created bubbles of unsustainable pricing and debt that is piling up in a manner that is neither sustainable or realistic. The stock market is increasing often by three digit figures per day, far surpassing common sense and then there is Bitcoin. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are exploding in value as hand joins to hand across this once great nation, with those who are investing hoping for a landslide of profits to materialize in front of them. The false security in these bubbles...

“My Mighty God, My Mighty God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, and from the words of My groaning? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and in the nighttime, and am not silent. But You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. All who see Me mock Me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying, He trusted on Jehovah; let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him! For You are He who took Me out of the womb, causing Me to trust while on My mother’s breasts. I was cast upon You from the womb; You are My Mighty God from My mother’s belly. Be not far from Me, for trouble is near; for there is no one to help. Many bulls have encircled Me; strong bulls of Bashan have surrounded Me. They have gaped at Me with their mouths, like a tearing and roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all My bones are separated; My heart is like wax, it has melted within Me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; and You have brought Me into the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded Me; the congregation of the wicked have enclosed...
