Israel has just suffered a “9-11” type of event, which at this hour is not fully tallied. In the early hours of the Jews' weekly Sabbath (10/7), at the end their annual Feast of Sukkot, and on the day marking 50 years since their victory in the 1973 Yom Kippur War; thousands of Hamas warriors entered...

Mark 7:1-3, Then the Pharisees and some of the scribes came together to Him, having come from Jerusalem.

Ahead
I’m listening to a popular TV preacher “refute” the idea of a rapture. He has read from Luke 19 and Matthew 24 and launched into “mocking” those who believe in “two comings.” While I don’t profess to have this prophecy thing all figured out, I have spent some 50 years working on it and not as...

Taught MANY Things

Christians Commissioned
Matthew 28:16-20, Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19-20, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the...

Will of God 2023
For 2023, we used a set of verses from I Peter for targets. Consider: I Peter 4:1-2, Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh...

The Resurrection
The Gospel: Brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you—unless you believed in vain.
