History Unfolding
Dr. David Kaiser

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books on history that have been published in six languages, and I have studied history all my life. I have come to think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus. full newsletter article...

The Neutered Gospel
By Micheal Boldea Jr.

I will say the following plainly, because I could think of no other way of saying it. At the risk of bringing the readership of this blog to zero, at the risk of having to wade through dozens of less than friendly e-mails, the following must be stated, and clearly so.

If the gospel messages you’ve been hearing lo’ these many years have never once made you feel uncomfortable then you’ve never really heard the true gospel message. If the gospel messages you’ve been hearing lo’ these many years have never once challenged you then you’ve never really heard the true gospel message. If the gospel messages you’ve been hearing lo’ these many years haven’t accentuated Christ and the cross in perpetuity then you’ve never really heard the true gospel message. If the gospel messages you’ve been hearing lo’ these many years have never once stirred you to repentance, prompted inward introspection, humbled you, caused you to weep and truly see the enormity of your sin, then you’ve never really heard the true gospel message, but a neutered version wherein God is always smiling, the sun is always shining, the birds are always chirping and no matter what you do, God’s holding onto you so tight that you’ll never be able to get away. full story...

THE JUDGMENT
by haRold Smith
based in Jerusalem, Israel

"Now concerning the coming of our Lord, Yeshua haMaschiach, and our gathering together unto Him; we ask you, brethren, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the Day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that Day will not come, except there first comes a falling away from the faith and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction (perdition), who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God." 2Thessalonians 2:1-4. full newsletter article....

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
By Sandra McGarrity

The following was in an e-mail I received. No author name was attached. I am sharing these amazing facts because I found reading about the level of commitment by these soldiers to be so encouraging.

On Jeopardy one night, the final question was "How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns" ---- All three contestants missed it! – 

The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier 

1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why? 

  21 steps:  It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary. 

2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why? 

21 seconds... for the same reason as answer number 1 

3. How often are the guards changed? 

Guards are changed every thirty minutes, twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. full story....

Memorial Stones 
By S.K. Truitt

“Choose twelve men from among the people, one from each tribe, and tell them to take up twelve stones from the middle of the Jordan from right where the priests stood and to carry them over with you and put them down at the place where you stay tonight.” Joshua 4:2-3

I have always been amazed by one, small, three letter word that I find in Scripture. The word is dry. When God’s people crossed the Red Sea, the Bible tells us that they crossed on dry land. After they crossed the river, it was so full that it drowned the Egyptians who were chasing them. Then when they were crossing the Jordan River, Scripture says they crossed on dry land when the river was at flood stage. Sometimes when we stand at what may seem like an river that is too deep for us to cross & pray for the Lord’s aide, we rarely have faith enough to believe that He will enable us to cross on dry land. Instead, we start looking for a bridge or a boat. If we do believe God will part the river for us, we expect to be at least ankle deep in mud. While waiting for this muddy river crossing we often are unnecessarily anxious. There is a way to feel at peace while we wait for God to create a dry land crossing for us. full story....

More Great Quotes
From Sermonindex.net

"Are not the Church in their present state a standing, public, perpetual denial of the gospel? Do they not stand out before the world, as a living, unanswerable contradiction of the gospel; and do more to harden sinners and lead them into a spirit of caviling and infidelity, than all the efforts of professed infidels from the beginning of the world to the present day?" - Charles Finney

"A revival of real praying would produce a spiritual revolution." -E.M. Bounds

"How often God visited the Jewish Church with judgments because they would not repent and be revived at the call of His prophets! How often have we seen Churches, and even whole denominations, cursed with a curse, because they would not wake up and seek the Lord, and pray: 'Wilt Thou not revive us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?'" -Charles Finney

"All it takes to make a preacher is a sermon - but it takes an altar to make a man of God." - B.H. Clendennen more great quotes...
