Jesus the Concrete Contractor

Jesus the Concrete Contractor

A month ago I set an appointment with Jesus,  a concrete contractor, to come on Thursday this past week. Before 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday I received a text that he was coming with his crew between eight and eight-thirty that day! I flew into full panic mode to clean out the last few items left in the garage so they could begin demolition on the garage floor. My son, Josh and I then moved on to the patio to remove the…

Jesus’ Fishnet

Jesus’ Fishnet

I read a blog the other day which reminded me of a poem I wrote over forty years ago. JESUS’ FISHNET My Lord is making a fishnet. He is making it fine. His Spirit wound with us is the twine. Each one is a knot; It is a very fine net To catch up many fish In this fine mesh. Jesus is the fisherman; The harvest will be plenty, According to His greatness. Mend your nets, oh My people; Mend…

Jesus’ Return

Jesus’ Return

Many times I hear people say, “You can’t know the time of Jesus’ return.” As I studied 1 Thessalonians recently, I can across an interesting scripture in 1 Thessalonians 5 which reads: “Now as to the times (chronos-and era) and the epochs (kiros-definite space in time), you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they…

Failing to Stand with Israel

Failing to Stand with Israel

I wonder what consequences our nation will suffer for failing to stand with Israel in the U.N. last week. God doesn’t take kindly to those trying to divide the land He has given to Israel. In Joel 3:2 He promises to bring all nations to the valley of Jehoshaphat (which is the Kidron Valley outside of Jerusalem) because they have divided the land. In Zechariah 14:2 He promises to gather all nations against Jerusalem. In the end-time discourse in Luke 21…

Jesus’ Return

Jesus’ Return

John 14:3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also,” In the Jewish custom of Jesus’ day, a young man asked for his love’s hand in marriage. If she agreed, the young man left to prepare a home for them. When his father inspected the home and deemed it finished, then and only then, could the young man come to…

The Savior

The Savior

Acts 4:12 “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved.” Today, many people run to this philosophy and sit under that guru in search of the truth. They follow a teacher only to find out the teacher twisted the truth for his own gain. There is only one who holds true salvation. It is Jesus Christ. God gave Him the…

Jesus’ Return

Jesus’ Return Galatians 1:4 “Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us out of this present evil age according to the will of our God and Father.” As the day of Jesus’ appearing in the sky draws nearer, we see a more definable difference in those who truly have Jesus as their Lord, and those who don’t. For those who have put their faith and trust in Jesus, there is special protection in this scripture even in…

A Prophetic Dream

A Prophetic Dream

At the beginning of this week I had a dream. I don’t usually remember them unless the Lord has a message. In this particular one, I stood on a narrow road heading up from a low valley. There were people behind me still in that low place. A small avalanche began on the opposite hills. It didn’t look terribly menacing but I began to urge the people walking behind. “Come up higher! Come higher! Quickly!” A jogging man turned to…

Forewarned is Forearmed

Forewarned is Forearmed

      In Matthew 24 Jesus instructs His disciples to recognize the sign of His coming and the end of the age. Jesus listed the early birth pangs: False Christs that mislead many. Wars and rumors of wars. Nations, (which in the original language is “ethnos” which means a race, a nation), and kingdoms against kingdom. Then comes:  Tribulation of persecution, killing, and hatred of all nations because we are called by His name. This is a time of…
