Don’t worry As we watch the Hamas War unfold, we have analyzed (as best we can 8,000 miles away) and discussed, analyzed some more. If we’re honest, we don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m as bad as anyone of being contradictory: We don’t know what will happen tomorrow (the Bible tells us), but…but…”What I think will happen in Gaza is…” Haha, you get the idea. It’s tempting in this critical moment to “wish” our hoped-for outcome. That is, Israel will finish the job, even in the face of withering pressure from the corrupt and morally bankrupt international community. Even now, Israeli war cab ..read more

Are We There Yet? For those of us who have raised children, you might remember the question. There was a commercial, as I recall, that used the question to emphasize one product or the other in a humorous way. Children in the back seat of the car in the commercial kept asking, “Are we there yet?” We who transported our young kids on those times – especially on longer trips to Grandmas or other destinations – have heard that question, often in whining tones as time went on. I certainly remember hearing it. And I’m sure my parents heard it on those long trips from Pekin, Illinois, where we ..read more

Fruit trees are beautiful. They look very dreary until Spring comes and they burst with leaves and flowers. That’s only the start. As the year progresses, fruit begins to form, and each tree will bring forth delicious, nourishing fruit. Before we come to faith in Jesus, life can be pretty dreary. Each day is just like the previous day, with no true joy. You might have had good things in your life but no true joy. The reason for this is your life was as dreary as a fruit tree in winter. You were following the ways of the world, where there is nothing to look forward to except a dreary lifestyle ..read more

“CRUCIFY ISRAEL – GIVE US HAMAS!” “CRUCIFY JESUS – GIVE US BARABBAS!” “Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,  “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”  He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:  “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”  “I will declare th ..read more

On October 25, 1964, Minnesota Vikings’ star defensive end Jim Marshall recovered a fumbled football but then ran sixty-six yards the wrong way, ending up in his own end zone. Thinking he had scored a touchdown, he spiked the ball, which sailed out of bounds, resulting in a safety and two points for the opposing team. Despite Marshall’s error, the Vikings defeated the San Francisco Forty-Niners that day 27-22. This same type of disorientation affects many teachers of Bible prophecy, too. They become disoriented and confuse the comings and goings of Scripture. They end up running the wrong way ..read more

What will be the Cause of the Next Meltdown?

In doing so, they created bubbles in multiple asset classes throughout the world. Now, faced with inflation, governments and central banks are trying to crack down and reverse the inflationary trend. But the damage has been done. We now stand on the verge of a massive global financial crisis. One of the only questions that remain is what will trigger the crisis. By definition, no one can know ..read more
