#197 – These Last Days, Part 2, and Update on Elaine
The Church that Jesus established has been “the Church of the Last Days” since its inception. That is, after God took about 4,000 years to work toward the coming of Jesus, He set in motion a plan to move toward the end of the world as we know it. The Spirit-empowered Church is the means…

Many Christians live in spiritual chaos in these Last Days. Disturbed by national and world events and finding little anchor for their souls in their faith, they desperately long for the Rapture’s deliverance from this mess. There is, however, a view of today’s world that gives hope. It is when we see life through the…

Well, it was another great Rituxan infusion today. No negative reactions whatsoever. Our oncologist wants her to do four more infusions since we resist the chemo approach, so we’ll continue for the next four Thursdays. I’ll update if there’s anything significant to report, otherwise maybe not for a couple of weeks. God is answering your/our…

AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAHTruth is prophetic, and one can be offensively prophetic by simply speaking truth. Am I prophetic if I tell you that you’ll get hurt if you jump off that roof? Or if I repeat to worldly Christians what Jesus said about the Last Days, like, “But as the days of…

THE ODD ONEHey, what’s that jackass doing out there with the sheep? He looks out of place – – more like an intruder than part of the flock. Well, farmers sometimes put a donkey with their sheep because it sees and responds to predators and takes action to protect the sheep. It has “eyes to…

We were blessed with another uneventful .Rituxan infusion. And the doctor was super pleased with the results of the blood work they did before the treatment. The blood count was 11.7 which she described as remarkable at this stage, and she said that the other numbers are right where they need to be. And then…

BLESSED NEW YEAR TO YOU! I am confident that God intends 2022 to be our best year ever. That isn’t pious rhetoric, it’s the simple fact that God, who turned Jesus’ death at Satan’s hand into Satan’s ultimate defeat,* is ready to meet us in our troubles and turn them into blessing. https://biblia.com/bible/esv/1-corinthians/2/6-10 Paul wrote,…

Continued:We have compromised ourselves by our love for the world, which includes love for “self,” which means self-rule instead of surrendering to the rule of Jesus. We disregard His explicit requirement that we take up our cross daily to follow Him. We insult Jesus and do a great disservice to the Kingdom of God by…
