  • When we choose to follow our own feelings and desires over God’s will, we quench His Spirit in us. This, then, blocks His Love not only from flowing through us to others, but also hinders us from experiencing His Love personally.

  • Unquestionably, Isaiah has given us our most indispensable Old Testament prophetic tour de force and it is replete with exegetical discoveries and hermeneutic treasures.

  • While governments plan (sometimes poorly) for disasters, individuals have the ultimate responsibility for their own welfare and that of their family.

  • No matter where we live in the world or whatever generation God has chosen to place us, we will experience financial uncertainty. Thank goodness for timeless divinely inspired Scriptures that tell us how to live.

  • How we handle financial turmoil will either build us up in Christ or demonstrate our spiritual flabbiness. How are Christians called to live in a society characterized as hostile to our beliefs, pushing an immoral agenda, high rate of taxation, anti-Israel posture and an intrusive, unstable government that stirs tension between religious groups?

  • Worship is critical because it’s the key to God’s presence. It’s what brings us intimacy with the Father; worship is a two-way communication.

  • While many people came to hear top-notch speakers from around the world, many came for the added blessing of fellowship.

  • The Metacosm is the domain of transdimensional creatures such as angels (fallen and unfallen), demons, and—surprisingly—UFOs and other ostensibly hybrid forms encountered in the Scriptures.

  • The world is moving into a new phase of labor. It could be termed “Jobs 3.0.” We’ll have one group of people who will be working in higher skilled jobs that, as yet, have not been automated and a permanent underclass living off government assistance. Many would say we are already there.

  • The use of chemical weapons on Syrian civilians crossed a red line that had been politically imposed by President Barack Obama a year prior. However, Obama’s red line turned out to be shaded in gray when chemical weapons were employed and Obama took no action.

  • Most of what we associate with the “Magi” is from early church traditions. What do we really know about the Magi?

  • The term “Antichrist” is the most common appellation that fills thousands of books and speculations about his origin, his nature, his agenda, and his destiny.

  • What does it mean to “abide in Him” or to “abide in the Spirit”? Abiding means remaining in, staying in, dwelling in or continuing in the Holy Place. It means staying in the Lord’s presence. It means continuing to worship Him and be fruit bearers to others.

  • The more we understand what trust really is, the more we’ll be able to confidently walk out His will. Like many other principles in the Christian life, trust doesn’t just happen; it’s a learned experience.

  • In the United States, there is a movement toward what is called a Common Core curriculum standard. There is more to this initiative than meets the eye.

  • The expectation among media outlets is for a return to economic growth. From Wall Street, we see the usual cheerleading, but what about you? What are the critical decisions your family should consider in the context of stewardship?

  • Although we know that we have been freed from the Law and the “observances” of new moons, feasts etc., there is still value in understanding the roots of the Feasts.

  • There is no sorrow so great that God cannot somehow use it to bring forth a blessing.

  • For the first time since the American Civil War, all serious-minded Christians in America are being forced to choose between God’s Law and man’s law.

  • As we watch the world descend further and further into darkness, and as the Christian community wonders when God is going to judge America, we would do well to study the dynamics of how God treats His own people during His ordered times of judgment.
