“As a man thinks in his heart (mind), so he is” (Prov. 23:7). This is God’s way of saying that we become what we think about, whether good or bad. As we become physically what we eat, we become spiritually what we think about. Our thoughts are our most intimate possessions. They mold us into […]

Along with a “mixed multitude” of believing Gentiles (captives of Egypt’s mighty war machine–Exo. 12:38), they exited Egypt with Moses in front of them and The Word, later to become Jesus of Nazareth, behind them (1 Cor. 10:4/ […]

In the 21st chapter of Luke’s Gospel we find Jesus speaking to His disciples (20:45) who were among a group of Jews who had been asking Him questions. Within the group were Jewish religious leaders who routinely followed Him, watching and listening, trying to catch Him in His Words or acts. Their goal was to […]

Jesus Christ prophesied of a time when the world would be in a state of terror, death and destruction that would be worse than all of the previous curses He had placed on mankind–COMBINED (Mat. 24:21).
