I grew up listening to many different bible teachers speak about Russia and Iran going on the attack together against Israel in the future.  My first recollections of this subject came in the 1970's when I was a young teenager.  Of course back then we had the cold war going on so it wasn't so far fetched.  But then after Reagan's famous   "Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall" speech some started to doubt this prediction or at least wonder when it would now ...

My husband receives government notices everyday at work regarding anything financial because of his line of work.  Any type of tax law change  or anything regarding the tax law he knows before the general public usually does.  He sent me this particular notice today today and thought it interesting that our Federal Government is purposely targeting Muslims in a notice meant only for them.  Can you imagine such a notice given to the Christians in ho...

Once again, Science is in line with the scriptures.  In this case, the Science is in the form of one of the most brilliant Scientific minds of our era, Stephen Hawking.  Hawking came out recently saying we need to abandon earth or face extinction.  Pretty strong, sobering words coming from a very smart guy.  In fact he's advocating we act fast.  Reminds me of the question posed to Jesus, another brilliant mind, by his disciples.   "What will b...

I think we must  be just plain stupid.  I'm talking about my husband and I.  We just never seem to be on the receiving end anytime.  We've been married 28 years plus and never ever seem to do things right.  We've worked hard going without many times in our marriage because we couldn't afford to take the plunge doing the extra things.  Our vacations, homes and expenditures have all been conservative and usually around the kids. We're debt free only ...

A few months ago I wrote about a couple who were riding on a motorcycle and had a very bad crash.   Go here:  http://kfc.joeuser.com/article/383571/Death They were hit from behind and it looked like both were not going to make it.  They were not wearing helmets.   At home were two teenagers who were distraught at possibly losing both parents.  Well here's the rest of the story.  As I wrote earlier, she was pronounced brain dead a fe...

I couldn't believe my ears.  It's just so downright tragic.  Horrible.  My heart went into my stomach at the news.  That could have been us, but "by the grace of God go I" came to my mind as I stared at the television last night.  A 20 year old drunk driver ran a red light and plowed into a vehicle that held a father and his three sons.   All four died on impact.  The father was 51 years old and his three sons ranged in ages from 19-28.  Not far of...

Religion Court Upholds Expulsion of Counseling Student Who Opposes Homosexuality By Todd Starnes Published July 28, 2010   | Courtesy of Alliance Defense Fund A federal judge ruled schools can expel students, like Julea Ward, who believe homosexuality is morally wrong. Ward's lawsuit against Eastern Michigan University was dismissed.   A federal judge has ruled in favor of a public university that removed a Christian student from its graduate program in schoo...

I remember hearing a story similar to the one I heard on the news the night before last and I was just as horrified then as now.  Here's the latest one: A woman in our area was asked random questions from her pediatrician per usual.  She hesitated over one question, thinking it was none of their business and didn't feel comfortable answering it.   The question concerned owning firearms.  She was asked if they had them in the home.  She sa...

Until one goes through a trying time you have no idea how you will react.  We think we may be this way or that but until we truly walk through the fire we don't know what areas of our life will really be affected either physically, mentally or emotionally.  My youngest son went through such a time recently with a divorce he never saw coming.  Being married only over a year he was looking forward to a  promising future with the young woman he loved. ...

I've noticed a difference in the last year or so.  It's different than previous years.   The preaching from the pulpits all across the nation has intensified.  Good  men of God are telling us the truth warning us that we are in a very dangerous position unlike any other time in history.  Their warnings are not unlike the Prophets of old who tried to warn Israel of impending danger.  The people would not listen to their own Prophets s...

For many July 4th is about picnics and fireworks.  It's about family and fun.  It's that, but it's so much more.  It's about freedom and faith.  It's about truth and honor.  Freedom at best is when you're free to do what you were created to do.  Only then are you really set free.  Freedom is not doing what you want to do because that would only result in chaos. There's no such thing as a truly free society. It would be destructive.   Real freedom is doing ...

Paper. Check! Pens. Check! Pencils. Check! Condoms. Check! Whhhhaaaat?  Condoms for little kids?  Elementary school kids?  Are you kidding me?  First graders?  Then I looked and saw it said Provincetown, MA. Well that makes total sense.   My in-laws are from MA.  That's one town my father in law said years ago (before he died) he wouldn't visit because it's been taken over by the homosexual community.  I mean...

We just got back from a National Preaching Conference in Orlando and my head is still swimming with all the great preaching we heard from some of the greatest preachers of our day.  We spent the weekend with the likes of R.C. Sproul Sr. & Jr., John MacArthur, Allistair Begg among others.   They said there were more than 4,000 in attendance. The subject matter was of a great variety answering some of the most perplexing questions concerning philosophical and theological...

Every once in a big while you come across someone so talented and gifted it's just amazing.  Words just can't do it justice.  This little seven year old girl is truly amazing.  Not only with the gift of music she's been given but also how she's displaying her God-given talent.   I pray God that the money hungry sharks will stay far away from her as He protects her.  Amazing is simply the best way to describe this.   If you haven't heard of Rhema Ma...

We make it a point NOT to get sucked into spending our hard-earned dollars on these extended warranties.  We know quite well they are pushed for good reason.  They make good money for the one's pushing them.  Most of the time whatever you've purchased has a warranty attached for a year or two anyhow.  We bought a Hyundai because it has a 10 year warranty, the best out there for cars.  No extra extended warranty needed.   Who knows if we'll even have the car ...
