It is reported that 365 million Christians live around the world under persecution. Many are being shaken because we are openly seeing it here maybe for their first time or at least we see it 24/7 in living color. But nothing is happening that God did not warn us was coming!

I keep hearing "I just can't believe this"---check your Bible----believe it. The world says all the "natural" disasters are because of global warming. Kerry says its the number one problem in the world. God says sin is the number one problem and if you read Gen. 3:17-19 you will find that when man fell so did God's creation.But there is an answer!

Nothing prepares us for enduring persecution than watching the endurance of faithful parents. I can't tell you the times someone has referenced watching the endurance of their parents for their ability to trust God in the tough times.

I see the awful devastation from Helene and just wonder am I wrong in thanking God it didn't strike where I live? Sould Israel go after Iran's nuclear facilities? What effect will the longshoremans strike have on us? What is your opinion about the bebate?

I'm sure you've all heard the question "Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago?" Well let me ask you a different question. Are you closer to God now than you were 4 years ago?

The recent events surrounding Israel prove we are living in Biblical times. Tiday we will study these events!

There are times in all of our lives when we question what God is doing. Circumstances that just don't make any sense pop up from time to time and our job is to trust and obey---but that is oft times easier said than done. But the story I will share with you today proves He knows exactly what He is doing---all the time!

It still works if you trust Him and believe! What doesn't work is when you sa "I know God what you want me to do but I refuse. BUT I want you to jump through my hoop!"

What concerns you most on the world stage? A conversation about how people who claim to be saved can be in favor of blatant sin and not adhere to the Bible.

Not only are you not alone but you are covered by His wings. What does it mean to be covered by His wings? An illustration God gave me recently.
