The biggest lie in the Bible is a bad translation of what the people exclaimed when fire came from heaven and burned the sacrifice that Elijah made on Mt Carmel. They said, “The LORD, He is God!” On the surface that sounds ok, what’s wrong with it? The fact is that 98% of people do not know that wherever you see LORD in all caps, translators removed God’s name represented by four letters, the tetragrammaton, and they substituted the title, LORD.

What inhibits us from the effective practice of confession, either privately or corporately? Here are the top 10 confession killers: nn1. Shame. Often, it seems as if everyone else has their act together ... surely they don't have any problems or struggles with sin! This (very fallacious!) view leads us to shame, and an unwillingness to confess our own faults. nn2. Pride. Then there is the case for pride. The same pride that changed Lucifer, the angel of light, into Satan, th

For I have long been tested, passing and curving on my path. My sins are piled up to Heaven, but it was only through devotion and faith, and honesty which set forth God’s plan. God’s will be done, as it always has. Future predictions and revelations are not to be feared, for it is I who will help set you free from the restraints you find yourself in. For it is in only in your relationship with Him, which leads to true salvation, for the same is true for me. For if I do no oth

Looking for some tips on how to cultivate the habit of daily Bible reading? Here's 5 surefire ways to increase your love for God and His Word. 1. Decide what time of day is best for you. Are you a morning person, or is later in the day better? We're all different. Some folks love to wake up in the morning and dive into the Word before doing anything else. But that may not be what's good for you, your schedule or your family – especially if you are a parent with young childre

As today’s headlines ask, “Is the Pope a Catholic?” readers may wonder what the future holds. When asked about the end of the world, Christ said to understand Daniel’s book. In Daniel’s 7th chapter, the kingdoms of this world were depicted as fierce beasts of prey. Historians say the lion, bear, leopard and dragon fit the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Grecia and Rome. Only God could foresee the future with such an accurate picture for now..

In the 2nd seal, peace is taken from the earth. It’s the same idea as when God made a covenant with Israel. He said He would drive out the Canaanite, Exod 34:10,11. Bible covenants were linked to sevens like the 7 ewes that Abraham gave to Abimelech in Genesis 21, and the 7 annual Sabbaths that God gave to Israel in Leviticus 23 The person seeking the covenant gives the 7’s, as God initiated the covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, as a burning lamp He went between the sacrifice pieces, but Christ tells us to have our lamp burning, Lk 12:35.

1. It’s a tragedy that two billionaires pledge a $600 million to rebuild a cathedral that’s probably empty on Sundays, but they won’t give to feed orphans in Africa/India. Christ said, “Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these, you did it to me.” Matt 25:40 2. It’s tragic that the pope invites Muslims “refugees” to Europe and the payback is a desecration of ~2000 churches in France, but the media is silent about those who do it. Vatican strategy: Create problems, then be the answer via UN New World Order.

Ever notice that once something is let go of, it’s harder to get back to it? Sometimes that’s a good thing, such as when God gives you victory over a bad habit and the habit becomes distasteful to you. But sometimes it happens when you let go of something good and find it hard to regain that good habit or experience. Life is full of ups and downs of all kinds.

Israel has no right to the land except by the covenant made with Abraham and renewed at Sinai, but Israel broke the covenant. That’s why God allowed Assyria to take them captive in 722 BC. God said if they walked contrary to Him, He would punish them ‘seven times over,’ Lev 26:18,21, Seven times 390 years of apostasy (shown in Ezek 4:5) means 2730 years exile till 2009.

Daniel 9:24–70 weeks of years spanned 10 Jubilees, but if we come 50 jubilees to 1995, Pope John Paul went to the UN and Pope Francis also in 2015–20 years later. Peter said, Be not ignorant of 1000 years, but what does this have to do with the jubilees? If we integrate them, 490 + 490 more = 980 with 20 years at the end, marked by papal visits. This brings us to a time of judgment in the previous verse–things ‘reserved unto fire for the day of judgment.” This reminds us of the fiery volcano in Hawaii and unprecedented fires in Califo ia.

This is an over-simplification, but men tend play at love to get sex; women play at sex to get love. When the game is over, both parties lose, but women lose more. Women often invite harrassment by dressing immodestly. Sexual harrassment is sad news daily. Dating problems don’t have to be so difficult. Here’s a remedy in a true story as a good example. Richard’s former wife died of a prescription drug reaction. This is more common that most people know, http://LeadingCauseOfDeathPrescriptionDrugs.com ichard wanted to remarry soon, so he joined a single’s group online.

Drs. Michael Lederman, Maxwell J. Mehlman, and Stuart Youngner admitted forced vaccinations and punishing those who refuse “will seem draconian, even anti-American,” but 3 doctors or 3000 are not sufficient to overtu constitutional rights that grant no such powers to purveyors of vaccines even if proven safe which they are not, and there’s growing conce for bad science behind a rapid push for population control via vaccines.

How to Design Your Life Map by Jodi-A Walker Planning out your life is important because it allows you to be the master of your destiny and helps you to live a fulfilling life based on your goals and personal vision.

Dare to dream big dreams! If you lost or given up on your dreams, start to dream again! Pick it back up! If you don’t have a dream, pray and ask God to give you a dream and to ignite it in your heart. Then, go for it! The time is now! Don’t wait until tomorrow; tomorrow is not promised to any one of us. The only time you really have is this moment called today. God has given each one of us a purpose for our lives. You may not know what your purpose is and here lies the fr

Recently I’ve heard debate in Christian circles about the word “meditation.” Some feel it’s valuable and produces blessing, while others maintain that meditation is a tool of Satan to lead us astray. Which is accurate? Should we engage in meditation or trash the whole idea? Since we engage in Biblical Meditation in any retreat I lead, this is an issue worth addressing. The problem seems to lie in the definition of the word, so let me define for you the Spiritual Discipline of Biblical Meditation.

Obama let an anti-settlement resolution pass the UN Security Council, breaking his word to them and abandoning our best ally in the Middle East to those who hate Israel--maybe setting the stage for prophecy. “The day of the Lord comes…all nations [United Nations?] will gather against Jerusalem to battle. The city shall be taken and the houses rifled and the women ravished…Then shall the Lord go forth to fight against those nations.” Zechariah 14.

The 6th quality (or Power) required for us to achieve higher consciousness is IMAGINATION.nnThe imagination is the cornerstone of our capacity to create. All that is now visible in physicality had its beginning as a mental picture. As we visualize, we create ... we bring into form. Thus, the importance of focusing on the positive and allowing the negative to fall away. A friend used to say, "Worrying is praying for what you do not want." How very true! I'll say it again: "Wor

"One must always be drunk, that says it all, there is no other point. In order not to feel the horrible burden of time that bruises your shoulders and bends you to the ground, you must get drunk incessantly." --Charles Baudelaire nnMore precious than any acquisition of man, yet far more mutable than mercury in the palm is the nature of time. Its swiftly passing tide has strewn the earth with forgotten empires and potentates. In its wake, tombstones present a constant witness

Mother of Pearl (MOP) is an incredibly popular component of Holy Land gifts done in precisely the same style as the original craftsmen. But what is MOP? And what is it that makes it such an integral part of Biblical history? Mother of Pearl is formed from the iridescent layer of material that forms the shell lining of mollusks like pearl oysters and abalone, which are the primary sources of today's Holy Land jewelry and designs. Mother of Pearl was actually given its name bec

All too often, planning for Christian Education involves desperately flipping through the church directory and asking, "Who might be willing to take a class?" nnIs it any wonder, then, that classes fall flat, attendance is poor, and results are non-existent? nnInstead, we need to approach Christian Education with foresight and strategy, being certain to include these seven essentials: nn1. Develop a balance of classes. The teaching body should be organized so as to teach a ba

Easter Sunday is a cheerful day for Christians because they trust that Jesus ascend from the dead on this day. They believe that Jesus Christ’s resurrection shows that death is not the end of everything. Many go to church to thank God for Jesus Christ’s life. On easter sunday, church bells have rung and churches have decorated with flowers such as white lilies which are associated with Easter. The colors in the church modify to white or gold which are attentions to be the

The film “Duel” was directed by Steven Spielberg when he was a graduate student. Within the first ten minutes of this film there was a definite shadow of foreboding presence with every turn, every hill and bend on a highway. We, the viewers, could almost feel the dread of being in our own vehicle, followed by such a treacherous specter of some type, casting an ominous presence of sheer terror.

Understanding the African business model. In Africa, there are numerous opportunities to engage and build real businesses around, as there are all over the world. However, the method of doing business in Africa is different from the rest of the world and this makes the business model for Africa to be unique. Before anyone can actually start a business in Africa, a basic understanding of what works and what does not work must be grasped.

In the gospel, God has revealed Himself in Christ Jesus (Col 1:15). He has done this so that there might be no mistake about who He is and what He is like. God is not some vague spirit being out there Who chooses to conceal Himself. He is not a God Who refuses to or is unable to communicate with us. One of the astonishing truths discovered in the gospel is that Christ Jesus is the revelation of God. He is fully God and fully man. He is in the Father, and the Father in Him (Jo

Abraham Lincoln, perhaps the greatest of US presidents, said, “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.” With thousands of Muslims in Iran reported to be converting to Christianity, maybe it’s happening? A third imam in the US has called for the killing of Jews. Abdullah Khadra, at a mosque in the Raleigh, NC just after Pres. Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, cited Muhammad: “At the End of Time, we will fight those Jews until the rocks and the trees will speak: ‘Oh Muslim, this is a Jew behind me.’”

Recently on my show we heard National Catholic Coaches Association Vice President of Operations Andrew Whitaker talk about his size, with the implication being that his calling wasn't to be an athlete. Yet, with great enthusiasm he spoke of how he *has* still been able to find a way to make a difference in people's lives. We see that in sports, that everyone has a different role -- athletes, training staffs, administrators, referees or umpires, and, of course, some are called

The doctrine of hell is one of the most controversial topics in the world of "Christianity" today. No one likes the idea that they might spend an eternity in hell suffering for the punishment of the sins they committed throughout their life. It is for this reason that many groups have tried to dull down the severity of hell, claiming that rather than being eternal we will merely spend a specific amount of time there before moving on to heaven. Some groups, such as the Jehovah

Can a divorced woman find purpose? She may feel as if she is of no value in the service of God and that her marital status hangs around her neck like a scarlet letter. This feeling can sometimes be the strongest in a Christian Church. There are so many scenarios of a divorced woman in society today. From the "professional" whose self-absorbed attitude destroys those who get in her way to the "victim" who has suffered so greatly she refuses to ever trust or love again. Between

rn Shortly after being diagnosed with late stage brain cancer, my mom began to lose her ability to communicate in words. She went from saying "I'm thirsty, please give me a glass of water." to eventually only being able to say, "Water!". Her ability to understand what was being said held up well, but the brain power necessary for her to craft a verbal response lessened day by day. I wasn't about to let the decline in my mom's verbal skills, hinder our ability to "talk". I cre

It is very common for so-called Christian churches and preachers these days to deliver a false message that is not found anywhere in the pages of the Bible. It is known as the "prosperity gospel," and it gives people the false impression that if they accept Jesus into their lives then everything that is going wrong in their life will be fixed. The saying, as you may have heard, goes something like: "Jesus loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." The problem with thi

Millions of people have lost their jobs as a result of this recession. You may be one of them. While the stock market has shown some positive movement, it’s unclear whether things will genuinely improve soon or if the rally we’ve seen is a false one. nnSo how does a person of faith deal with the loss of their job and not lose their faith?nnIn her landmark book, On Death and Dying , Elizabeth Kubler-Ross identified a model for receiving and processing the diagnosis of a te

The body is designed for self-healing. Cuts, burns and broken bones heal. So will heart disease or diabetes if we know how to cooperate with the body’s healing mechanism. If we were born normal as 97% are, problems that we develop 40 or 60 years later are largely due to what we’ve been putting in our mouths, and the good news is that it’s reversible if we will change what we’ve been doing.

The all-time best-seller is the Bible and the prediction from Christ is “when you see Jerusalem compassed with armies…” in Luke 21:20. Most Jews and Christians think that was 70 AD, but Christ’s parable in Matthew 22:6,7 says the “remnant” get their city burned and 70 AD wasn’t the remnant, and the wedding of Matt 22 didn’t happen then. Zechariah 14 is about the end-time ‘day of the Lord’ when “all nations” (not just Rome) are gathered against Jerusalem. This is the ‘heads up’ sign for a huge earthquake that initiates the end-times as seen in Joel 2:10,11; 1Thess 5:2,3; Rev 8:5,6.

Prayer has opened for me the door that leads back to God. Prayer is complete and whole Divine perfection. It’s something my heart, my spirit, my soul, and my mind yearn deeply for. As I choose by my own free will to come back to God, prayer, the perfect connection to God becomes as important, if not more important than eating. In all of my life, I have never felt so close, so Loved by God. I'm grateful to know that at any moment, for any reason, I can be one with God throug

Solomon said, “Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23. Today we might say, “Be careful what you want to believe--it can affect your destiny.” Darwin was reared to believe in God and the Bible, but he had a change of heart after his only daughter, (Annie, 10 years old) died. Darwin could not explain how life began or how it was modified, but the similarity between man and apes let him believe that fossil records would later show “missing links” between the species.

“Where are you, Lord when I need you most?” That cry has been heard since the fall of Adam and its consequences. Although sometimes it seems as if He is far away, God has always been there. Abel knew Him, Enoch walked with God, as did Abraham. Isaac, Moses, David and many others were all after God’s heart and knew how to turn to Him for their needs and hear His Voice.

The Christian way of living is simple and hardly involves making any complicated decisions in life. The most important principles of Christianity involve peace, love, understanding, forgiveness, compassion and faith. To be a good Christian, one must think and do good to others which is why anyone who is willing to accept the Holy Spirit and follow the Holy Scriptures can become a Christian and follow a healthy Christian life. Christianity is one of the biggest organized relig

Those of us who make the choice to walk with god and believe that Jesus died to save us from our sin are not thereby free to sin. We still have a responsibility now that we have been reborn in him to strive to live like him. It is time to put away the old ways that admittedly did not serve us well and better ourselves. How do we accomplish this ? We get into the word and see what it has to say to us. I will begin by examining some guidelines that have been set forth for us by

John 3:5-16 "You must be born from above", said Jesus. "The wind blows where it wills. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit… Truly, truly I say to you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but you do not accept our testimony...

Trump said drug companies are getting away with murder and he would work to bring prices down. (WashPost) While murder suggests the intent to kill, manslaughter--killing without malice or forethought, is more true of our leading cause of illness and death, says Dr. Richard Ruhling, a retired physician who was board-certified in internal medicine and taught at Loma Linda University. He offers the following information.

Fiery volcano, unprecedented fires in Califo ia, and now fire in Paradise gets our attention. There’s wanton destruction of the planet by chemtrails, HAARP that can make earthquakes and hurricanes, dozens of murders and hundreds of rapes daily in this ‘Christian nation.’ Is there some meaning to what we see? Could coming events be casting their shadow as an omen of warning? 2Peter 3:7 speaks of things “reserved for fire against the day of judgment.”

Bible Could Solve Pope’s Prayer Problem The pope asks for prayer to fight the devil over the sex abuse scandals that are costing a small fraction of Vatican bank holdings. This suggests several problems. 1. The Vatican worships Lucifer. The Bible (“a dangerous book” said Francis, maybe he isn’t reading it) shows that Lucifer was the angelic name before he became the devil, Isaiah 14:12-15.r

The attitude of a person's heart is one of the biggest topics in the Holy Bible and one of the most important topics to consider when raising your children. Children learn from watching their parents and others. Parental influence is important if you want your children to grow in a way that pleases God.

The Call to Action Organization, brings up a very sober fact, “Did you know that the exit rate of young adult Catholic women from Catholicism is greater tha Catholic men their age? In fact, millennial Catholic women are more likely than their male counterparts to report that they never attend mass. They’re deeply spiritual, but they yearn for equality and authenticity.” Rome’s Disregard for Women’s Rights of Equality.

A Yahoo News article speculates how war could start from Israel’s attacking of Iranian forces in Syria where Russian forces support their ally. https://www.yahoo.com/news/nuclear-nightmare-war-between-russia-113000329.html The article is speculation. On the other hand, the Bible offers a view of how history may be expected to repeat that is good news.
