The other day, I noticed the following verse in Exodus… This annual festival [The Passover] will be a visible sign to you, like a mark branded on your hand or your forehead. Let it remind you always to recite this teaching of the Lord: ‘With a strong hand, the Lord rescued you from Egypt.’ Exodus 13:9 I love…
The Book of Revelation contains a great deal of imagery that I have to admit I don’t really understand. Chapter 12 describes an end of the age battle between the “woman” (who commentaries and notes say represents “God’s faithful people”) and the “large red dragon” (who is Satan himself). John wrote: This great dragon—the ancient…
I sometimes wonder where we are in the end times spectrum. I wonder what if any events have taken place already and what the future will be like going forward. Rev and I were talking the other day, about the challenges of understanding John’s writing of God’s plan. There are some who take it literally…

Do you ever wonder if we are living in the “last days”? Here’s what Paul said about the things we would see… In the last days, there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful….
Have you ever noticed all the euphemisms we use instead of actually calling something a lie? We… stretch the truth. manipulate the truth. mislead. are inaccurate. misrepresent the facts. tell half-truths. My family will tell you there is nothing that upsets me more than lying it doesn’t matter what you call it. And that may…
