Offering “strange fire” to the Lord was not limited to the priesthood anciently and is not limited to the ministry today.  Adam and Eve, whose “priest” was God (the Word Who would become Jesus of Nazareth), were the first human beings to offer “strange fire” to their Maker.  And as would always be the case, […]

“But I do it to honor God,” or some variation of that sentiment is the normal reaction when one is shown in God’s Word that what one is doing “in God’s name” and “for God’s glory” is an abomination to Him and forbidden in His Holy Word.  Only God can determine right and wrong, good […]

As the Lord tells us many times in His Holy Scriptures, man’s problems come from two sources.  For sinners (both churched and unchruched) problems take the form of God’s curses (disease, war, natural disasters, etc.).  The problems God’s people face are caused by Satan’s use of his church system in the form of persecution, rejection, […]

Surely I had not heard those words coming from an American politician.  Surely I had slipped into the ethereal, wishful-thinking, make-believe world of American politics.  But no.  What I had yearned for had actually come to pass.  I had voiced on a number of occasions my dream that someone having a national platform would actually […]

Continuing with part I of this series, we pick up with Satan and his angels having rebelled against God.  What is he up to?  To fully understand his rebellion against God, his plan for the future and his power, look at Isaiah 14:12-16: “How far you have fallen from heaven, O lucifer, son of the […]

Two God’s have ruled mankind since the Garden of Eden and will do so until the return of Jesus Christ to earth to set up His Father’s kingdom.  In the Book of Ezekiel the prophet writes about those two majestic beings.  We will examine both of them, beginning with the true God. Ezekiel begins by […]

I have been the recipient of what is commonly known as “divine healing.” I have been used by the Lord to administer that same gift as well as other gifts of the (Holy) Spirit (I Cor. 12:1,4).  Therefore, I understand why people make a common mistake relative to those who possess such spiritual gifts.  The […]

In Matthew 24 and 25 Jesus warns His saints to always be watching, for we do not know the exact time of His return to earth.  He tells them to watch for the signs that would mark the approach of the end of the age so that they would be ready, having their “lamps filled […]

Darkness hates light.  Light came into the world with the birth of Jesus of Nazareth (Mat. 4:16).  This light exposed the darkness in which man had been living for many generations.  Satan knew that the bearer of that light had to be eliminated.  Being unable to kill the child Jesus, Satan would try to destroy […]

The word “holodomor” refers to a deliberate attempt to literally starve to death those who are out of favor with those in power.  The word came to be known internationally during Russian dictator Joseph Stalin’s attack on the people of Ukraine that took place in 1932 and 1933.  Because the people of Ukraine resisted the […]
