Can you guess who I’m referring to? The Maniac at Gadara. This story is also told in Matt. 8:28-34 and Lk. 8:26-39. Typically, Mark gives abbreviated accounts of events, but on this occasion, Mark gives the longest version of this story with the most details. So let’s read Mark 5! I’ll occasionally interject other details... Continue Reading →
My heart goes out to any nation brutally attacked as what happened to Israel, who has a right to defend themselves. And there is certainly nothing wrong with supporting our allies. But now the MCM, the Mainstream Christian Media, has gone into an eschatological frenzy over this war in Israel. Netanyahu is invoking Amalek and... Continue Reading →
“Prove to me God exists!” When that is said to us on a podcast, my first thought is, “Prove to me God DOESN’T exist! That is a way bigger challenge!” Oftentimes, we’ll point out sone truths, like the fact that DNA molecules contain all the genetic instructions to form a life. Then we’ll ask, “How...

Because Israel is at war, I can tell that many Christians are 1) freaking out and 2) talking and reading a whole lot about the end of the world (as if Israel has never seen a war before). So the big thing right now is Bible prophecy. Bring it on! I love prophecy! I just... Continue Reading →
The good folks at Harbinger’s Daily, like many other Christian sites, love to make connections between technology today and the mark of the beast. In a recent article on quantum computing, for example, David Bowen writes, “Scott Townsend of I Am a Watchman Ministries describes how quantum computers combined with AI will be used to...

I should start with a warning. We’ll be going through the Abomination of Desolation step-by-step, moment-by-moment. Essentially, what we’re talking about is mass genocide, and when we get to that section, I’m not going to pull any punches about the violence and the carnage. It's awful. You’ve been warned. Let’s consider the context. What happens... Continue Reading →

These are my notes from Wednesday night’s message, which are kinda lengthy. Just so you know. We’re going to continue looking at the Lord’s millennial reign and the fact that Israel will fulfill God’s destiny for them to become a kingdom of priests. Not only that, but they’re a kingdom of priests under Christ as... Continue Reading →
Did you know that the phrase “Bride of Christ” does not exist in the Bible? So how did this question ever come about as to whether the church or Israel is the Bride of Christ? I’ve heard that “Bride of Christ” is a dogma of the Catholic Church. J.C. O’Hair said this concept had been... Continue Reading →
Hello, saints! Below is a collection of 4 articles on Supply of Grace in which I explored in chronological order the final days of the Lord’s life on Earth and His resurrection.

Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Isn’t this a fascinating verse? Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all!

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. - Job 23:12. I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Text: Hebrews 9:10 "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation." We learn from the Ephesians 4:5 that there is only one baptism that places us into union with the Body of Christ and with our Savior ((1 Corinthians 12:13). In the... Continue Reading →
[Today, I thought I’d share my notes from last Wednesday’s message. -j] First, when we get into the breakdown of the years, you might want to check out Larken’s Chart on Daniel’s 70 Weeks.

After the temptation in the garden of Eden and the fall of mankind into sin, you have this fascinating back-and-forth in a spiritual warfare between God and Satan. When man fell into sin (Gen. 3), God by His grace sought man out, sacrificed animals, clothed them with skins, and told Satan that a redeemer would... Continue Reading →
Text: Romans 9:9-13 It is important to note, by way of context, that Romans 9 through 11 deals with the spiritual condition of unbelieving Israel, who had rejected their Messiah. Now, in the present Dispensation of Grace, these who are Israelites according to the flesh find themselves not part of the “Israel of God”. This... Continue Reading →
