Man’s penchant for self-destruction began with Adam and Eve and has remained a Satan-induced condition ever since. Notice that I said “induced,” not forced. As the series titled Human Nature proved, sin is a choice. Contrary to popular theology, sin is not an inherited trait as we have been told time and again by Satan–the […]

Throughout the Holy Bible the Lord tells us repeatedly that obedience to His Word (righteousness) will result in blessings while disobedience to His Word (sin) will result in curses. Both blessings and curses come from God either directly or indirectly. Nothing happens unless He does it or allows it to be done. In this way […]

The majority of people world-wide hate the Judahites (“Jews”). The reasons given for such hatred vary from person to person. Jew haters assume that their attitudes are self-generated.  But the real reason for their hatred is found in the Old Testament, specifically in Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26. Throughout the Old Testament we find God […]

(A) Why is the tiny nation misnamed “Israel” so intensely hated by the majority of people according to international polls? (B) Why is the United States of America equally hated, if not moreso, according to those same polls? The answer to (A) has two parts: 1) The world’s masses hate the Jews because they believe […]

Those whose eyes are not staring into their little hand-held boxes have noted that as America’s religious world is changing, so is the society in which it is found. What would have been soundly rejected in the 1950’s is now the status quo. Behavior that was viewed with disgust in the past is not only […]

The term “Evangelical” has become quite popular of late. Traditionally, Evangelicals were the “storm troopers” of the ultra-conservative religious right.

Over time the pressure […]

Leaven: An influence or addition to an entity that causes a general change within the entity. In an earlier posting I made the following statement: “As goes the church, so goes the society.” In that a nation follows the lead of its spiritual contingent, any change in that contingent will eventually bring about a change […]

In the first six chapters of 2nd Chronicles we find that King Solomon has built an earthly home for the God of Israel located in the city of Jerusalem. Beginning in chapter 7 the Lord warns him and the Israelites that their sins will force Him to bring calamity down from on high in the […]

Why do the vast majority of prayers offered up by those within Institutional Christendom go unanswered? How can this be when the Lord promised to hear and answer the prayers of His people–those who are called by His name? Being the God who “cannot lie,” why doesn’t He do what He promised to do? The […]

I occasionally watch a little television. Several times of late my eyes have been attacked by a religious advertisement that perfectly characterizes the modern, Laodicean era church described in Revelation 3:14-20. The item being offered to viewers is a book and c.d. set that proclaims to church people that they are Born to be Blessed. […]
