End Days
There is a lot of talk these days of end times. I wrote this poem last week. What Does the Future Hold? Only God knows, but I know Him and He knows me. That’s all I need to know futuristically.
Wisdom for Today
In these times, we need wisdom and knowledge to safely navigate each day. The Bible spoke of such men in 1 Chronicles 12:32. It speaks of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do. If God is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8) He can make us as the sons of Issachar also. He didn’t leave us as sitting ducks without an instruction book. The little lad in the picture…
God Will Have the Last Word

I’m sure unbelievers watching the events of those few days some 2,000 years ago were sure Jesus’ followers were fools,…

God has told us to pray for those in authority. Since we have some new authorities over us, it might be a good idea to pray for them. There is a little-known scripture that appears in 1 Chronicles 12:32 that seems a little out of place here in a list of genealogy. It reads: “And of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do . . .” Since wisdom comes from the…
When Facing a Difficult Decision
I recently spoke with a young woman whose husband had a serious illness. He sought out a well-known specialist who told him he could be a candidate to participate in a blind study of a new medication that could possibly hold a cure. There would be no charge for the participation in the study which normally would be extremely expensive. All experiments conducted on animals so far had proved successful. The husband wanted to do the trial, but his wife…
