In the Bible times, the roof was an important ‘room’. It was constantly used for a variety of things. Why? Homes were small, dark, smelly, and the lower room held the animals. Why wouldn’t people want to be on the roof where it was bright, with fresh air wafting by, and roomy? In this episode I look at daily living in Bible times, focusing on the peoples' homes and especially the rooftops.

The battle is ongoing with the Edmonton, Alberta Canadian officials against Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church. You might remember he was released from jail without the condition of having to recant on his stance that he will continue to preach inside his church without numerical restrictions on who may or may not attend. Albertan officials had jailed him in violation of their COVID-19 health regulations. The battle is not over apparently. Today Erin Coates reported a distressing development.

What if you were going to plant a church or start a ministry or were called to go somewhere, but it was the LEAST populated place in the entire area?

Let's listen to how God works His will into the most amazing places and the most wonderful ways.

Today I review the experience of worship on Easter Sunday, picturing Jesus as worthily accepting ALL proper and true worship from all His children on all the earth particularly on Resurrection Sunday. I pictured a flood of love and worship rolling up to Him in heaven, as a pleasing aroma and His proper due as He was honored as the Lamb of God.

In which I read a wonderful poem from Texas Poet Kay Cude, which she shares with The End Time with permission to publish. I pray your joy is complete and abounding this day, where we contemplate and celebrate the mystery of the Resurrection, and our eternal joy because the Lamb of God has risen!

Was the cross Plan B of God? Is God ineffectual because Jesus died? Those were my thoughts about God before I was saved. Even after salvation before I read much of the Bible, I used to think the cross was sprinkled through a few verses and that's it. But when you really start reading the word of God, the cross is everywhere! Listen to this podcast to find out where the cross appears, and be encouraged by the orderly ordination of God's supreme plan from eternity past.
