We are going to take some time to go through the Book of Psalms, if the Lord doesn’t Rapture (1st Cor. 15:51-52) us out of here first. While I do not like to necessarily have a favorite book of the Bible, as the whole word of God is profitable for learning (2 Tim. 3:16), Psalms has a special place in my heart, where the Lord has given me some real life applications. A lot of people wouldn’t look to Psalms for doctrine, but Psalms is in reality part of the Holy Scriptures and full of useful doctrine that correlates with the rest of the Bible (Pr. 30:5). Take a look at how grim things look for our country, how many more disasters are we going to see? Already we have had devastating hurricanes, flooding, wildfires & what is next? As the people of our nation continue to rebel against their Creator, I don’t expect that we will see an end to these types of events (Is. 1:21-23). Too many problems are on the horizon, political problems, an American debt problem, both for our country and the citizens who also hold too much of a burden of debt, as well as looming threats of war, where in all reality millions of our citizens lives hang in the balance, should such a scenario unfold. People are so concerned about healthcare, financial ‘fitness’, making ends meet, the things of this world, that they are not even contemplating the things of God (Mt. 6:33) This is dangerous, for when their life is over, who are they going to stand before? God Almighty. ...

I received a phone call today about the passing of Paul F. Becker. Paul Becker, from Spokane, Washington, went Home to be with the Lord, whom he faithfully served for years with the A Voice in the Wilderness ministry. His website was www.a-voice.org and is truly a testimony of a man who sought to clearly make the paths of the Lord straight for the entire world to read. God took care of Paul Becker throughout his lifetime and as a dear friend, he will be greatly missed. Yet for those who know the Lord, truly one day my friend will be seen again. We live in a dark era, but his website is still a library of God’s truth shining in an otherwise dark world. 2023 Update: A Backup Website Has Been Created To Download A CD Of The Former Website www.a-voice.net. ...

This is being written as hurricane Irma is churning out in the Atlantic, with hurricane Harvey in people’s minds, the perceived threat as to what will occur is yet unknown. Historically hurricanes on that path often hit Florida OR turn and go to the North Atlantic, hitting no one. Yet as this is also being written, smoke continues to fill the skies in Kalispell, Montana on a daily basis. The Los Angeles area has the La Tuna wildfire, which is the biggest ever recorded in the area. With Montana’s ‘flash drought’ we continue to get very little rain and still unseasonable warm weather. Just a little spark and another wildfire will appear somewhere, this with thunderstorms forecast in a few days. As the flood waters from Houston are drying up, people are starting to speculate that this is either God’s judgment or considering that somehow this is pointing to a major end times event. Of course these who ponder the later, are in every case I see, those who also purport that there will be no Rapture or it will be at the end of the Tribulation (“time of Jacob’s trouble” Jer. 30:7). Well I can’t speak on behalf of God and neither can they, unless God has truly given them some insight. Sure these are interesting times that we live in, but these are times where instead of people looking and presuming that God is going to come in and ‘fix’ all of man’s woes, they should be looking at fixing their hearts before our Creator, before it is too late. As I watch these things...

The nation awoke last week to a devastating hurricane that literally ended up zeroing in on Houston with huge amounts of rainfalls. I downloaded a rain map that showed Houston as ground zero for the rain. Then, the now tropical storm, backed up into the Gulf of Mexico and landed in southeast Texas, dropping 25 more inches of rain in a day, totally flooding cities. When that happened there were a bunch of headlines on the news, but the one that really caught my eye was how the rain was called punishing and there was a quote from a resident begging God to have it stop raining. The event was terrible and now people are more cautiously eyeing the other storms that are heading towards the United States. The amount of rain that was dropped in Houston set a record for rainfall in the contiguous United States, never had that much been recorded out of one event…never. Who is to blame? Is it simply chance, after all Houston had those reservoirs for a reason, they had been flooded before, in fact a different storm years ago had dropped just a couple of inches less rain. Was it God’s judgment? Some speculate so. What about utilizing HAARP or other technology to weaponize the storm, to cause President Trump a crisis? There are those who are pushing this theory also. Around the same time 1,200 people died in a flood in Asia, but we as Americans simply brush that off. “You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I...

Recently, out of boredom, I took an IQ test. To the best of my recollection, the test results came in right around the same as one I had taken years ago, near 120. I pondered this, wondering where these supposed standards come from. Did the world’s smartest man create the IQ test? What is logic? What standards are used to measure presumed intelligence? What is intelligence? Why is it so many intelligent people are against their Creator? Recently I had a conversation with a pastor regarding biblical Salvation. The pastor appeared to be spot on and seemed to have a true zeal towards God. Our conversation changed to discussing the Flood and Creation. In that conversation the pastor left open the possibility of a gap theory, while still holding to six literal days of Creation. While he didn’t affirm that it was so, he also did not affirm that it was not. After our conversation I pondered whether or not it was acceptable as a Believer to allow any sort of compromise regarding the allowance of a gap theory into what the Bible actually teaches. As I was pondering this we made our way to another building where there was a display of rare rocks and minerals. Having a keen interest in rock hounding, I quickly found myself in a conversation with a gentlemen behind the table regarding their collection. I noted that some of the local rocks that he had collected, I also had in my possession at home. He began to explain that those rocks were pre-algae. At first I avoided any confrontation regarding...
