FINDING PEACE IN A TOPSY-TURVY WORLD
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have
overcome the world."
John 16:33 (NIV)
This is a hand-thrown pot that I bought down in Eureka Springs
at the Potter's House. I've had it for several years and it
still looks perfect, doesn't it. But it isn't. It has this big
chip on the rim that I was hiding with my hand.
Like this pot, our bodies have also been marred, sometimes ...

Finding The Living Among The Dead. God is the God of the Living
and not the God of the Dead. Speaking of Christ return and reign
on this earth is sometimes difficult to get thru to people. Many
want to denigh that the end is close, many want to denigh that
God will destroy what He has created and many still yet want to
denigh God all together. City after city from the east to west
from north to south has had some kind of destruction based on
the revelations of Jesus Christ. For He said when you ...

love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the
measure of all ...

I always had a picture in the recesses of my mind of the
soldier dying for his country. I could see the fireman expiring
in a blaze after saving others. Then I saw a banker who saved
others and died right before my eyes.
On January 13th 1982 an Air Florida flight crashed off the 14th
Street Bridge in Washington DC. It was a bridge I had traveled
across many times before during the year I lived in DC. The
entire event was being broadcast live and I sat glued to the TV
as the big Boeing 737 slid ...

The United Kingdom of Israel split in two during the reign of
Solomon's son, Rehoboam. The Northern Kingdom of Israel was
composed of 10 tribes, headed by the tribe of Joseph, in their
new capital called Samaria. The Southern Kingdom of Judah
continued to rule from Jerusalem, with the Royal House of David
presiding over them. Both sinned against the God of Israel and
were patiently warned by the prophets, but Northern Israel fell
first and was deported by the Assyrians approximately 130 ...

The Natchez Trace is an old wagon trail from the 18th Century stretching from Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi. We drove over seventy miles from Nashville. There are many rest stops along the route and historical sights. One of the most interesting one is the tomb of Meriweather Lewis (Lewis and Clark Expedition). After the return from the West, President Jefferson appointed Lewis as Governor of the Tennessee Territory. He went to St. Louis and tried to get reimbursement ...

Between Saint and Sinner. pt 1. Preaching the Gospel is
sometimes the most controversial position on Earth. Preaching or
Ministering the Gospel is two different things, 1. The Truth of
Life and 2. Information. Lets look at the Information side
first. Information has become wide spread in this world but how
much of it is the truth? Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up
the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Hos ...

The members of Zac Brown Band appear to have a Midas touch when it comes to country music. They have become fixtures at the top of the country music charts with various singles, but that doesn't mean they have completely gotten used to the fame.

Zac Brown and his backing band took the stage on opening day, April 29. Brown was blown away by the ...

Between Saint and Sinner. pt.2. Can we as ministers attest to
the validity of our calling and election as Ministers? Yes. Can
you as the Servants and Children of God attest and testify of
your calling and election? Yes. In fact the Scripture has a
commandment that you must make your Calling and Election
sure.2Pe 1:10-11. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence
to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these
things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be

When the time had come for Jews to return to Zion, God stirred
up the spirit of Cyrus and the Jews (Ezra 1:1,5). Not everyone
was willing to leave Babylon, having settled in, but others
inspired with a pioneer spirit were willing to go back home and
clear the way for those who would eventually follow (Jer. 29:
4-7).
Those Jews who stayed behind in Babylon were encouraged to
assist those who were headed for the front line. Their
consequent generosity went down on record, and revealed how
eager ...

Women who are over 40 and who are looking to get pregnant are encouraged to speak with a fertility doctor for information regarding the possible risks involved. While men are able to produce sperm throughout their life, women are born with a certain amount of eggs. These eggs age throughout your life, so by the time you reach 40, your eggs are 40 years old as well.
These 'older eggs' are more likely than 'younger eggs' to have certain chromosomal problems such as Down syndrome, according to ...

Why was Jesus crucified? Because His Gospel was highly
politicized. It had EVERYTHING to do with GOVERNMENT! God's
people would do well to note that fact. His enemies accused Him
of sedition. They distorted His Message to make it appear He was
out to overthrow the government! (John 19:12). They led the
rulers to believe Jesus was a dangerous individual, a real
threat to public order and national security (John 11:48). Jesus
had to be stopped! Both the political and religious authorities
turned ...

The history of using subliminal messages has been one that can be traced back all the way to World War I, a startling long time for the world to realise that music with subliminal messages can actually save your life. But the roots of this technology is really quite important when tracing its evolution and how it came to become one of the leading personal development technologies that have pervaded human society in this advanced age.
It is also an interesting retrospect into the brief history ...
