  • Hosea and Amos were contemporaries of Isaiah. Their main target was the Northern Kingdom, yet their messages were for the people of God—and that includes you and me.

  • In Part 1 of this article, we discussed the inspiring concept of “coordination” as outlined in Rescuing a Broken America: Why America is Deeply Divided and How to Heal it Constitutionally by Michael Coffman, Ph.D. In Part 2, we will discuss the success stories and how to move forward.

  • In the model prayer that the Lord taught His disciples—commonly called “the Lord’s Prayer”—one of the key petitions is “Thy Kingdom come.” Most Christians today, however, have no real idea what this means. Yet there are more promises and prophecies about this “kingdom” than any other period in the entire Bible!

  • In many ways, cyber warfare is an unseen war. There are two reasons for this. Most of the technology in cyber warfare is not understood except by a few computer experts. Also, this war is not well covered by the media, because there are no visuals. (You can only take so many pictures of computer screens.)

  • In our last newsletter, we examined in detail the terms “outer darkness” and “weeping and gnashing of teeth” in the Parable of the Ten Talents (Matthew 25:14-30). After reading our article, hopefully you came away with a new understanding of these terms and what exactly Jesus meant by them.

  • As discussed last month, the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) has been dubbed the “largest religious movement you never heard of,” and David Barret, author of World Christian Encyclopedia, indicates that “Not only is the New Apostolic Reformation the largest of the four non-Catholic megablocks, but significantly, it is the only one of all five megablocks that is growing faster than Islam.”

  • The U.S. 2010 mid-term elections are now over, and many who are weary of political rhetoric are ready to take a few months off until the 2012 campaigns begin in earnest. At least that is the way I feel. That is, until I had the opportunity to listen to a presentation by Michael Coffman, Ph.D.

  • Last month we read Jesus’ Parable of the Ten Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) with its emphasis on “the outer darkness” and “weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Before we begin to dissect these terms, we need to understand what exactly a parable is.

  • As discussed in Part I, although the Kingdom of God clearly has a present and continuing spiritual aspect, Scripture still consistently describes a future kingdom on Earth which will be inaugurated by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

  • We all have seen articles on the “missing matter” of the universe, and there continue to be substantial efforts to identify—or explain—this “dark matter,” or “dark energy” that has eluded astronomers attempting to understand the reality in which we find ourselves.

  • By the time this article is published, the 2010 elections in the United States will be one day away. It is therefore with much interest that we study the compelling case made by Angelo M. Codevilla in “America’s Ruling Class And the Perils of Revolution”—the contest is truly not between the political parties of Republicans and Democrats. The struggle for power is between the “ruling class” and the “country class.”

  • Previously, we explored the domain of the Macrocosm: the universe and the things that are larger than man. This month we will explore the Microcosm: the frontier of “smallness” known as Quantum Physics. How do you look at something smaller than a wavelength of light?

  • In discussing the status of America recently, a friend challenged me with a statement: “A question pierces the conscience, whereas an accusation hardens the heart.” It seems that the status of America raises many questions, as well as many accusations. For purpose of this discussion, however, the accusations come from Scripture.

  • To watch the political landscape in America today is to watch a body’s immune system on over-drive; a condition that causes the body to attack itself unto death unless it is brought back under control. Lulled to sleep by relatively easy prosperity, Americans have for decades given up their freedoms piece by piece.

  • Last month, in our article entitled “Life is Like a Contest,” we stated that every one of us, whether we like it or not (if we are believers), is enrolled in a life race.

  • Although the Kingdom of God clearly has a present and continuing spiritual aspect, Scripture is still abundantly clear that there will be a future literal kingdom on Earth. The Dispensational Premillennial view is that the Millennium (sometimes referred to as the Messianic Kingdom) will be inaugurated by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

  • As the 9th anniversary of September 11, 2001 approaches and we memorialize the slain and remember the events of that day, New York City is once again in the headlines. The debate of whether or not to allow the building of an Islamic mosque two blocks from “Ground Zero” is doing more than pouring salt into the wounds of history—it is rewriting history.

  • “Nazi”: Today, over sixty years after the end of World War Two (WWII), it is probably one of the most recognizable words in the English language. But what images come to mind when reflecting upon the word? It is interesting that it isn’t the same for everyone.

  • So far in our Kingdom, Power and Glory series we have learned that not only our rewards, but also our place of responsibility in the coming Millennial Kingdom will either be won or lost according to our faithfulness in this life.

  • 1 and 2 Thessalonians are doctrinal epistles that deal primarily with eschatology. They were actually the first of Paul’s epistles, written from Corinth in about 52 or 53 A.D., and were written to deal with concerns of the Thessalonians.
