If you have read the Old Testament, I am sure you have heard about the guy with the coat of many colors, Joseph. He had real skills: in both pattern-seeing and economics. (And I am sure that if he were alive today, he would be a wealthy Wall Street type of person.) His rise to […]

Wake Up, America: The Hidden Threat of Islam
I recently spoke with a few people about the compatibility of Sharia law with our American democracy, and I was alarmed by what these people had to say! From what I discovered, there was little understanding of the dangers facing Americans as Islam encroaches quickly on our society. The way that I see it, more […]
Step Out of Your Comfort Zone: Start Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Today
Acting on the Word, moving from passively hearing the Bible to becoming a “doer of the word,” a nod to the verse James 1:22, requires stepping out into the unknown. And from what I have found, nothing compares to the excitement of getting out there and sharing Jesus with strangers. Scripture makes it clear that […]
The Illusion of Inclusion: Why the World Excludes the Word of God
The new buzzword today is inclusion. Everyone, it seems, is inclusive nowadays. Dictionary.com defines inclusion as the state of being included. By its very definition, this term should include everyone, yet it does not. It excludes the Christian Biblical viewpoint. The irony is that true and all-encompassing inclusion occurs only through personal acceptance of the […]
Trusting God Through Financial Hardship
A few weeks ago, I watched my wife break down in tears. It was a heartbreaking moment. A financial hardship had hit our family, really hard, and we were unable to afford to send our son to summer camp this year.

Shifting the Atmosphere: Maintaining My Faith in This Season of Unemployment
Is anyone else also in a season of unemployment? If so, I hope my personal insight brings you some encouragement. I’ve been unemployed for a few months. Although I thought I had a promising lead a few weeks ago, it fell through. I’ve spent weeks sending resumes, writing cover letters, and filling out applications, but […]

Explore how relational evangelism, trust, and compassion create deeper spiritual transformation than “attack and extract” methods.
The Final Convergence: Praise & Worship Music, the End of the Church Age, and the Road to Christ’s Post-Tribulation Return
Praise and worship music is not just getting better; it has arrived. It is, in an undisputed way, the best music you can spend your time listening to. I believe it. Praise and worship music once was still developing, at least that is my opinion of it in the early 1980s and early 90s. Music […]
From Visions to Verification: How Contemporary Technology Aligns with the Prophetic Descriptions of the Mark of the Beast
The mark of the beast is a unique hand and forehead mark that all must receive to participate in the future economy, when the antichrist has taken over the nations (Revelation chapter 13). In the future, unless a person has the mark, or “the number of the beast,” which I surmise is a verbal expression […]
