I recommend that the reader read the series titled “Manifest Destiny.” Key word–Manifest–in conjunction with this teaching. I recently read that, after four years of what was labeled “the open borders fiasco,” the United States Federal Government has returned to building “The Wall” across the nation’s southern border. Several years ago the president of the […]

“God has a plan for your life,” is a common theme heard throughout professing Christendom over the past few hundred years. But is it true?

He goes on to say that they are […]

The Lord woke me up early, as usual, telling me to get up and get on with my WORK and my ministerial commission. Normally, I know what I will be writing about before I sit down at the computer. However, this morning I had no inkling, not so much as a hint. When that happens […]
