Storms of Destruction
Psalm 57:1-3 ESV
“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will...
Psalm 1:1a ESV
“Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked…”
So, what kind of counsel might the wicked be offering to the church, or to professing Christians, or to those contemplating faith in Jesus Christ? It would have to be something appealing to their flesh –...
Romans 13:8-10 ESV
“Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word...
Proverbs 23:1-3 ESV
“When you sit down to eat with a ruler,
observe carefully what is before you,
and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to appetite.
Do not desire his delicacies,
for they are deceptive food.”
I live in the USA. I was born here in December of 1949. I am 70...
Here in Jeremiah 6 we have another picture of God’s people living in adultery against God, in idolatry, and in utter wickedness. And, again the picture is one of hardened hearts which will not listen to the Lord, for they take no pleasure in the instructions of God.
Although the Lord has been...
Revelation 21:1-4 ESV
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice...
Psalm 56:1-2 ESV
“Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.”
How is man trampling us, the people of the world, and the people of God who are of faith in Jesus Christ? What...
You Rich People
James 5:1-3 ESV
“Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You...

A Shocker

Scripture: Isaiah 63
According to this news article I read, Pope Francis indicated that this “hierarchy” of which he speaks is not like that of the powerful of the world, i.e. the N.W.O. (Elite, Bilderbergs, Trilateral Commission...
Isaiah 1:4-8 ESV
Ah, sinful nation,
a people laden with iniquity,
offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
they have despised the Holy One of Israel,
they are utterly estranged.
5 Why will you still be struck down?
Why will you...
Psalm 23:1-3 ESV
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.”
The Lord Jesus is the true shepherd of his sheep. And, his sheep listen to...
Acts 4:1-4 ESV
And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them, greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. And they arrested them and put them in custody until...
Romans 8:18, 26-27 ESV
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us…
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with...
An Original Work / March 11, 2020
In this crazy world of ours,
With emotions flying high,
With fear mongers at their worst
Blowing everything sky high,
Can we trust in what they say?
Do their words even make sense?
Is it logical to say
That a few is an event?
An agenda, do they have?
Is it...
I live in the United States of America, which is a wealthy nation, an affluent nation in many respects. It isn’t that everyone here is wealthy, but perhaps by third world standards we all are. We have many freedoms and privileges that people in other nations do not have. We are pretty much free...
An Original Work / October 26, 2019
It’s sad, you know,
Watching someone you love
Wandering so,
Seeming to go nowhere.
Each day’s no
Different from the other.
It’s the same old, same old
Day after day after day.
No purpose or direction
Seems to be found.
Just existing,
Putting in their time...
Writing #4 in the series:
I had just gone through revival in 2002. That is when the Lord Jesus spoke to my heart, and he told me that I had not forgiven him. It is then that I realized that, down deep in my heart, I had blamed him or I had held it against him in some way that he did not rescue...
Note: This is a continuation of a series I am doing as a public testimony of what God has allowed in my life to take place throughout my life, all of which was in preparation for the ministry to which he has now called me. This is #3 in the series.
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying...
Note: This is the second writing in a series of personal testimonies regarding trials and tribulations the Lord Jesus took me through in preparation for the ministry to which he has called me. The first one is called, “Slam-Dunked Again.”

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to...
Have you ever felt like you were drowning? And, that every time you came up for air there was someone there just waiting to push you back under? There was always someone waiting in the wings ready and willing to slam-dunk you if you tried to survive and to thrive?
Perhaps you weren’t drowning...
