Speaking the Truth
The Lord is preparing us for persecution. In this time of darkness, those who speak
the truth will be persecuted and misunderstood. Are we ready? That’s why we have
to crucify ourselves, because, as long as we are attached to our reputations, to being
affirmed and liked...
“My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.” (James 5:19-20 ESV)
We read in the Scriptures that we who are part of the...
“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be...
The Precious Blood
(God with us)
You are My beloved spouse of My Most Precious Blood. It is My Blood that refreshes the soul and brings forth new life in the Spirit. My little one, My Blood, poured out for mankind, has been trampled on. It has not been received as My gift of Myself to humanity...
Isaiah 62:1-3 ESV
“For Zion's sake I will not keep silent,
and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,
until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a burning torch.
The nations shall see your righteousness,
and all the kings your glory,
and you shall be...
Tolerating that Woman Jezebel
“And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
“’I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works...
Faith, Struggle, and Rites of Passage
The human existence here on earth is full of struggle, challenges, difficulties,
sufferings, trials, and tears because of the Fall. I came to transform human
suffering through My death and resurrection. The Holy Family
lived the human condition through...
I read a meme on social media that had me concerned that it might be giving out a subtle false message. It was quoting a passage of Scripture, but the translation was not identified, so I don’t know the source. But then I read the passage of Scripture in the ESV, so I am going to share both with...
“Yet because of false brothers secretly brought in—who slipped in to spy out our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might bring us into slavery— to them we did not yield in submission even for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.” (Galatians 2:4-5...
This is another video talk, originally posted on February 28, 2023:
Now, I am not really going to write anything here on this one much at all. I just felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit to make a video where I share a little bit about me and my background and who I am and where I am from, and...
Originally written on June 6, 2020 during the global pandemic.
If we read the book of Habakkuk, we can see how it relates to what is going on in our world today, and to what God is doing right now, in our day and time, too, in order to bring his adulterous ones back into fellowship with him...
Thursday, September 15, 2016, 7:30 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Broken and Contrite.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read Revelation 16 (ESV). Then, the Lord reminded me of something which took place in my life 12 years ago, at this time of year. He reminded me of how...
Habakkuk was a prophet of God. He called on the Lord one day in despair because of all the wickedness and evil that was going on within his own nation, among his own people. He could not understand why God allowed this to go on, and he felt abandoned by God, as though God was turning a deaf ear...
“The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
O Lord, how long shall I cry for help,
and you will not hear?
Or cry to you “Violence!”
and you will not save?
Why do you make me see iniquity,
and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me;
strife and...
Eschatology Note # 2
In research, whether it be scientific, engineering, or legal, progress is made when the right questions are asked and pursued. Eschatological research is no different. A key question of history has a major bearing on the eschatological picture, a question that has been...
Eschatology Note # 1
I have been putting some effort into studying biblical eschatology. This is, to many Christians, about like trying to learn particle physics, but it is possible (and somebody has to do it!). Certainly I do not have the remaining future to the end of the age figured out, but...
Proverbs 15 Select Verses
“The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
keeping watch on the evil and the good.” (Proverbs 15:3 ESV)
God, who created all of us, is completely sovereign over all that he has made. He knows the end from the beginning. All the days ordained for us were written in...
