For Such a Time as This
“And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!” - Esther 4:16 I am not a political reporter. I am not a reporter of any type even though I often feel that is...
Has the Hedge Been Removed?
Several years ago, I did a teaching called "Prophecies in the Book of Job." The basic premise was this: Job was spared many troubles as long as the hedge of protection, provided by the Creator, remained in place. As soon as it was removed, the Adversary was permitted...
Will We Keep It?
“The teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally - I do not mean figuratively, I mean literally - impossible for us to figure to ourselves what life would be if these teachings were removed.” -...
It Takes a Village. Really?
Unless you have been hiding in a cave somewhere, I'm sure you've heard of the raging debate concerning Common Core - federally mandated standards for students K - 12 in Math and English. Most of the opposition that I've read about seems to focus on the programs...
Offering Our Children To Molech
The Bible tells us that Solomon, in his later years, did not follow in his father, David's, footsteps but began to do evil in the sight of the LORD, specifically, building a high place dedicated to Molech "the abomination of the people of Ammon" (1 Kings 11:7). Later,...

Perhaps you've heard about the Democratic candidate running for governor in the state of Texas and the brewing controversy surrounding her biography. Apparently some of the details in that bio aren't quite right and now its coming back to haunt her and, perhaps,...
The Have and Have-Nots
Ok. Maybe I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill but I heard this report on the radio earlier today and thought I'd look a little further into what was going on. In short, it would seem that the San Francisco Bay area is experiencing an economic boom in the...
Less Messianic and More Messiah
“And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Y’shua the Messiah and Him crucified.” – 1 Corinthians 2:1-2 I would like for the...
Has The Scarlet-Clothed Woman Arrived?
In Revelation 17, John was shown a great mystery involving a woman riding a beast. He said: "One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, 'Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with...
