A Rising Tide of Jew Hatred Today

Image
 ( Excerpted from : Judgment Day! Israel, Islam, and the Nations)   Anti-Semitism did not end with the defeat of Nazi Germany and the death of Hitler. In fulfillment of biblical prophecies, not only in Muslim countries but worldwide, it is again on the rise, causing a heightened level of alert in Jewish communities. A brief search of the internet reveals scores of examples. There is an alarming increase in the widespread desecration of Jewish cemeteries. Violence against Jews and Jewish property is rising. In Istanbul, Turkey, in the middle of the fast of Ramadan (a time of “peace” for Arab tribes prior to Islam) car bombs devastated two synagogues, killing or wounding dozens. In Morocco, in May 2004, terrorists hit a Jewish community center and hotel, leaving a trail of death. Other incidents are too numerous to mention. In polls across the EU, most Europeans continue to rate Israel as “the greatest obstacle to peace” in the world, ahead of ...

Beautiful Eulogy-Vital Lens (Lyrics)

Image
This is a great song and wanted to post the lyrics: Yup, this is a re-introduction plus some practical perspective For those of us indeed who are in need of complete vision correction The only thing that’s required is a lens that’s genuinely objective And a minute of your time to wrap your mind around divine perception Because even the most mindless and spiritually blind can be the spectator In the theatre of God’s magnificent design, if you would incline Your ears and your eyes to these sounds and these signs We would attempt to rightly refine and align your crooked sight But we’re not implying that a sunset or an ocean can begin to set in mind What the Son of Man began to set in redemptive motion But morals, meaning and devotion, heart, mind and emotion Substance, significance and truth cannot be explained Or reduced to a big bang explosion Because His character and nature cannot be known through natural revelation Or shown through random acts or figments of your im...

The Secret of Biblical Self-Improvement

Image
The popularity of self-improvement, or self-help, books throughout the history of publishing is rather amazing. The reasons given for the wide acceptance of such books, historically, and especially in our day, are many, but they all boil down to man’s desire to improve his condition or situation, whether financially, socially, educationally, physically, psychologically, spiritually, or “all of the above.” Although the goals are improvement and the bettering of one’s circumstance, the primary method and motivation is by self and for self : how can I improve me ? Since self is the fundamental focus of self-improvement, we need to give some serious thought to what it is. A gathering of definitions from contemporary dictionaries reveals self to be: the entire person; an individual’s typical character or behavior; an individual’s temporary behavior or character; a person in prime condition; the union of elements (as body, emotions, thoughts, and sensations) ...

Hirelings Versus Shepherds and the Biblical Model of A New Testament Church

Brannon plays a shocking video clip of a pastor mocking those in his church that want to go deeper into the study of God’s Word by calling them babies and selfish. You have to see this video clip to fully understand the mean and spiteful remarks by this hireling toward God’s people. Are those that want to go deeper into God’s Word being selfish or actually the opposite of selfish? How do hirelings manipulate, marginalize, and characterize Biblical Christians so they either leave their “church” or embrace the unbiblical model of their church? Watch it here: Hirelings Versus Shepherds and the Biblical Model of A New Testament Church

An Appeal to Churches to Use Bibles

Image
By Jim Elliff November 5, 2013 I’ll never forget my shock the first time I attended a Bible-less church. My kind of church was a Bible-teaching one and Bibles were standard operating equipment. The last word I heard as I got in the car to drive to church was, “Jimmy, do you have your Bible?” A child might forget his belt or socks, but never his Bible. Just as dutifully, the church children found their mothers after the church meeting to load her up with their Bibles while they ran around the church building with their friends. If a family was not using its Bibles at home, at least you could find them behind the back seat in the Buick, curling up under the sunlight, all ready for next Sunday. I was a young married man when I first attended a mainline Protestant church devoid of Bibles. I wasn’t in a Communist country where Bibles were confiscated and therefore rare, but in a southern state. The mainline church I attended that day was bu...

The Post Rapture Survival Guide

Image
by Kurt Seland The purpose of this manual is twofold: First of all, it is to warn those who receive this manual prior to the rapture of the events that will take place in the last days as foretold in the Bible. Based on what the Bible has to say about future events, nobody in their right mind would want live on earth after the rapture. Hopefully, many will read, believe, seek God, repent and be saved. Salvation is very simple, so simple to attain, in fact, that most people cannot accept its simplicity; thereby reject it completely. However, it is complex because it is life-changing and based on that which we cannot see; it is based on faith. Simple, because Jesus does all the work. If you want to be saved and have eternal life, simply pray in belief and humility to Lord Jesus: "Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and ask you to forgive me of my sins and prepare for me a new heart. I surrender my life to you." Secondly, to those left ...
