APRIL 29 "WHEN WILL THERE BE PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST"

  “Israel has been living here for 300 years, inhabiting Heshbon and its surrounding settlements, all the way to Aroer and its settlements, and in all the towns along the Arnon River. Why have you made no effort to recover it before now?"  Jephthah has more diplomacy and knowledge of Israel's history than any Secretary of State or Ambassador the United States has ever sent to the middle east. Jephthah reasons with them, gives them the facts, the history and after all is said and done, PEACE....oh sorry, wrong....not peace, but war.  "But the king of Ammon paid no attention to Jephthah’s message."  When will there be peace in the Middle East between the Arab Nations and the Israelites?  Never!  God already spoke that the house of Esau will always be at war with the house of Jacob (Israel). Foolish and/or ignorant or both, leaders from the United States have tried to coax Israel into giving pieces of their land over to Palestine, for peace and harmony. This is what happens when you get unspiritual men, ignorant to God's Word, trying to negotiate peace matters in the Middle East; that they have no true understanding of. Jephthah clearly states that it is God who gave them that land and they have owned it for 300 years, why are they fighting to take it from them and why in the world would they (Israel) give it up? Are you becoming anti-Semitic with all the propaganda that is being funneled through the media?  Maybe you are at a point where you are saying, "for crying out loud Israel, don't be so stubborn, just give up some land for peace!"  Well, you are being influenced by the media that does not have a pro Christian, pro-Israel agenda, as a matter of a fact, their agenda is the complete opposite. First of all, the land belongs to Israel, secondly, giving up a portion (which they already have) will not bring peace. Palestine wants it all and even if they did get it all, their next agenda would be to drive Israel away from wherever they would remain. Until Israel ceases to be a Nation again, the Arab Nations will have no peace.  If only Jephthah knew, that the Arab Nations would still be at war over that land 2020 years later and that Israel would still be fighting for and defending that land, Jephthah would have been flabbergasted, but here we are today, a couple of thousand years later, still war in the middle east and only the spiritually ignorant & prideful man can think that some American Diplomat can waltz into the middle east and get these two nations to make peace! Only the Anti-Christ will ever have the power to do that & even he, will break that treaty half way through and declare war on Israel and all God's people.

NOVEMBER 6 "DOES GOD STILL DO MIRACLES?"

 The Psalmist writes, "who can list the glorious miracles of the Lord!" I dare say, there are some reading this blog that might challenge that!"  They would say, "list them, I'm hard pressed to think of one! How'' your miracle life? Miracles go hand in hand with opportunity. We have our lives so structured and we don't venture out in faith, we keep it safe. Well then don't complain you have no miracles. Peter had to step out of the boat to experience a miracle, but don't forget there was a handful of other disciples that stayed in the boat, safe and experienced no miracle! You can have it both ways.  Christians who venture, in faith, are the ones that have the "lists of miracles" to write about.   "Does God still do miracles? In your intellect you say, "yes of course", but in your heart what do you say? God does miracle, yes! Does He do miracles for you? Do you encourage others to believe in miracles and now you need ...

NOVEMBER 21 "CLASS WARFARE IS AN UGLY THING"

     There’s no denying, James is not that fond of “rich people”.  If it was only this reference in Chapter 5, that would be bad enough, but James has taken jabs at the rich in other chapters as well. No doubt, James did not grow up with affluence of any kind. We know from the Gospels that Joseph and Mary (James’ parents) were poor. Historians believe that Joseph died at an early age, as he is not mentioned in the Gospels; except in the early stages of Jesus’ life. Now with Joseph dead, James & Jesus, probably had to work that much harder to make ends meet at home. Jesus himself takes a jab at rich people saying, “ it is easier for a camel to get through the eye of an needle than for a rich person to get into heaven ”.  I’m sure in the  Church  of  Jerusalem  where James was an elder, there were not many affluent people in that congregation. However we cannot deny that it was Joseph of Arimathea, an affluent man , a prominent member of th...

FEBRUARY 8 "ABANDONED IN MY TIME OF NEED"

   This may end up being one of the greater indictments against The Church of Jesus Christ at our judgement; that we abandoned our brothers and sisters in their most dire time of need. In our reading today, the Psalmist eludes to a time of great anguish in his life and because of this his strength is failing; he then goes on to say concerning his friends, "I am a dread to my friends....I am forgotten by them". Unfortunately, it is when we are not at our best that our brothers and sisters in Christ seem to get turned off by us and often abandon us when we need them the most! Why is that? Is it because of selfish reasons, after all, who doesn't want to hang around upbeat people full of joy and victory, but are there not times that we need to also grieve with those that are grieving?! Another reason is their weakness probably turns us off, "why are you even struggling with this ....what's wrong with you!!?" Thence, we're turned off and leave them to struggl...
