A notable Angel was given authority to make man “an offer that he couldn’t refuse”. That mission was highly successful. “In Adam all died” … to God. He allowed that “offer” to be made? That same Angel later tried to stop Jesus from rescuing mankind from eternal death. That time the mission failed miserably, and Jesus was given 3.5 years of uninterrupted ministry to show humans His Father. Not unlike our “fair use laws”, that Angel will also be given 3.5 years of “uninterrupted time” to once again try to… Read more Angelic strategy →

What will happen when our Father brings home all the living who are “known” at a sampled moment in time (the twinkling of an eye), along with the “deceased in Christ” … and the popular pre-trib preachers are still here? A – What percentage will try to convince their congregations that God left them behind to lead the other left behinders? B – What percentage will claim they are part of the 144,000 even though they have no seal of God? C – What percentage will change their eschatology to… Read more Is AI smarter than the churched? →
I bet you didn’t know that god spends most of his day and all of his night trying to figure out how to make your life better? When he finally comes up with an idea, he transmits it to one of his myriad of self-appointed prophets so that they can look important on the internet. You see, they’re special … you’re not. They have a direct line to god … and an even better line of revenue from YouTube. His prophets often get their message from god while in their… Read more A word from god →
I was once falsely accused of a crime. By the day of the trial, I understood that if I was found guilty, I would go straight from the courtroom to prison. What does one wear to such an event? Do I take my wallet? Do I take my watch and ring? What about the car keys and the house keys? What preparations for my estate would be necessary if I was to be incarcerated and unable to manage my business? I was forced to “plan for the worst”. 30 minutes… Read more What does one wear to such and event? →
When Jesus refused to bow to our adversary, the gravity of the situation became clear to our adversary and his minions. Not hard to figure out that Jesus had a 12 man strategy to “make disciples”. If each man could replicate the Jesus in him into another man every 4 years, then do the math. The entire world population would have been won in less than a century. But our adversary had a contingency plan already in place. Even before Jesus unexpectedly arrived, the adversary started a counterfeit religion to… Read more 7 years from now … →
My Calvinistic friends have a great saying “but God”. Says it all! As far as I can tell, God has “chosen” (my Calvinistic friends love that word) not to supernaturally intervene in mass like He did in the movie by Cecil B. DeMille. My wife tells me of areas of the world where God sends dreams to people of Muslim or Hindu religions where they report that they see Jesus. Other reports are of those same types of people groups hearing God speak to them. He is drawing them closer… Read more But God! →
Why does God use humans to share the message of His love? He Has Angels far more capable of communicating His thoughts than we humans? He has bushes that burn … but are never consumed. He has donkeys that speak the truth … when men won’t. He has stones ready to cry out … on command. Why would He need us to “proclaim His Gospel”? Consider that throughout the OT and the NT God has mostly used people to influence others to know Him. God could have sent Jesus as… Read more Does God need us? →
