Are we living in the end times? Is Armageddon upon us? If God's two witnesses came proclaiming the message that we were in the final seven years of our present day world, would anyone listen? Are Christians being given the full message of the Gospel? Or are the Clergy choosing to keep some information to itself? Is the church in a huge cover u

Religion for me has been a bewildering and reluctant adversary. For the longest time religion meant belief in some strangers prescription for salvation. As one matures and questions their life and the role of religion in it, certain sticking points become clear. Why so many different perceptions of religion? Why so many different versions of re

The waves caressed the shore bringing a peaceful quiet to the clear blue ocean. A gentle breeze blew producing a calm that filled my soul with longing for my Savior's words. As I listened the voice of the Spirit opened my mind to the wonders of the Lord. People have become so busy with making money and taking care of their families that they

Don't let your hearts be troubled Trust in God, and trust also in me. John 14:1 NLT If they listen and obey God; they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant. Job 36:11 NLT Thoughts race across the frontier of my mind like wild horses, running ahead of a prairie fire. I feel fear and doubts ri

To grow spiritually in a world defined by power, money, and influence is a Herculean task. Modern conveniences such as electronic equipments, gadgets, and tools as well as entertainment through television, magazines, and the web have predisposed us to confine our attention mostly to physical needs and wants. As a result, our concepts of self-wo

The rain and wind swirled all around the house producing hail that covered the ground as if it had snowed. It started as a warm spring day with just small clouds in the distance. But within a matter of hours the day turned cool and massive clouds producing torrential rain pelted my house. I felt confident and secure because the flat part of my r
