A Fool’s Heart
“A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment” (Proverbs 18:1). I am reminded of the story of Rehoboam, Solomon’s son. Rehoboam was ordained king over Israel following Solomon’s death but he ignored the wise counsel of the elders who served King Solomon and instead chose to heed the foolish advice of his friends who…

The Whisperer
“A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends” (Proverbs 16:28). Gossip, there is no shortage if it these days. Television, social media, and other forms of technology has rapidly increased the volume and velocity of gossip. Even the whisperer speaks loud and bold in the face of a desensitized generation.…

Lying Lips
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. (Proverbs 12:22) Have you read the proverbs lately? If not, you should try reading one chapter per day for the next few months. I once read a chapter a day for one whole year and it still feels fresh…

The Hypocrite
The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered (Proverbs 11:9). Hypocrisy is as old as sin but the world is increasingly turning a blind eye to hypocrisy, just as they have turned a blind eye to sin. It is not just the world though; the church, which is…

Revelation 12 and September 23, 2017
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth (Revelation 12:1-2, NKJV). On September 23, 2017, one day from today, a…

God In The Midst
Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven (Luke 21:10-11). Even those who lack discernment can see that this last year has brought about an unprecedented…

They Helped – But With Evil Intent
I am exceedingly angry with the [Gentile] nations at ease; For I was a little angry, And they helped—but with evil intent.” (Zechariah 1:15) How quick we are to castigate another country or people; to call them immoral and evil. We develop programs and organizations to judge the ethics and determine whether they are violating our…

The Letters of Revelation
Revelation 2:1 “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: “To the angel of the church of [ ], write……”. Why did He use the word “angel”? This has caused many…

Babylon the Great; A Harlot’s Tale
After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for…

Sin, Our National Shame
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth”. “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the…

Have you ever been scapegoated? A scapegoat is a person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, and faults of others.

The world appears to be suffering from identity crisis and this – identity crisis – is having a dramatic effect on each of us. We are created to be social beings, created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). For this reason we have formed social clubs, sports leagues, communities, and political systems that we
