Justice is giving people what they deserve, but mercy is giving them what they don’t deserve. A man was having his portrait painted and said to the artist, ‘I hope this will do me justice.’ The artist said, ‘It is not justice you need, it is mercy!’ All of us are recipients of God’s mercy. If God did not extend His mercy and grace to us, … [Read more...]
The Danger of Indecision
The apostle Paul preached to philosophers, Pharisees, rulers, soldiers, sorcerers, sailors, slaves to Felix, Festus, Agrippa, and most likely to Caesar himself-the head of the most powerful and most enduring empire that the world has ever seen. Remember the Lord had called him as His chosen instrument to take His message to the Gentiles and to … [Read more...]

America…Venting Anger on Your President is an Illusion!
Twice in Romans 13:3-7 civil authorities are called ‘God servants’ and we are charged to give them due honor and respect.

God Governs the World According to His Purposes
In politics, as in many other fields of activity, human beings continually strive for promotion. Yet we don’t ask ourselves where promotion comes from or the power that exalts men to positions of authority or removes them from such positions. The Psalmist tells us that every promotion comes from God. He is the one Who both raises men up and puts … [Read more...]
The Deadly Fruit of Marxism
Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz contends “The left is borrowing tactics from the old Soviet Union in an attempt to bring down President Trump....The charge that Trump is mentally unstable and should be removed from office is similar to what communist and Marxist leaders during the Cold War did to political dissidents they represented.” It … [Read more...]

We might wish for more but we only get one life. Someone said, ‘If only we have two lives. The first in which to make one’s mistakes.....and the second in which to profit by them.’ But there are no dress rehearsals for life; we are on stage straightway.

Daniel’s 70-Week Prophecy
The prophet Daniel predicted Christ’s coming 500 years before it happened. He saw the unfolding of human history and accurately predicted the fall of the Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman Empires that took place in the centuries that followed. The Scriptures tell us that Daniel’s intercession near the end of the seventy year-period of the … [Read more...]
Son of the Living God
When the Lord Jesus Christ asked His disciples, Who people say that the Son of Man is? Peter’s inspired confession of faith in Jesus was that He is the Christ, the Messiah-Son of the Living God (see Matthew 16:13-17). The word ‘Son’ as applied to Jesus in relation to God, does not contain the physical meaning some assume it does. God is Spirit … [Read more...]
