Because of the awesome grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, in His faithfulness to meet all our needs "...according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen!", my prayers and the prayers of my dear parents and others have been quickly answered. My spouse was informed yesterday by their employer that a "much better" health insurance plan will go into effect for all employees starting in January 2021. Praise the Lord for His goodness! My dear love will finally be able to recify the main medical issues they suffer from, bless their heart....

Of greater concern is the presence of a gripping fear that is increasingly controlling the lives and actions of many in our society. We are being infected with and motivated by fear. This phenomenon is only heightened by the uncertainties surrounding the recent elections, and especially the highly charged Presidential race. Fear of possible negative political outcomes only fuels existing fears over the Coronavirus. It is a perfect storm for terrorizing a society. Fear is dangerous because it enters a person and sets up shop within the heart and the mind. It lurks within, ready to seize any opportunity for...

As often happens, when I begin writing this Study, a verse or song suddenly flashes into my brain about the chosen topic. Today I am blessed to report it is a Christian anthem, “Our God is an Awesome God” — usually sung with great passion at large gatherings (pre-COVID) such as this performance by Michael W. Smith.By design, the lyrics are simple and repetitive until the message is drilled into your mind, heart, and soul:“Our God is an awesome God He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love our God is an awesome God.”While trying to decipher why...

While many artists are already releasing their latest renditions of Christmas classics, singer/songwriter Ben Rector is taking a moment to give thanks to the oft rushed over November holiday. "I hope this song captures the magic and nostalgia that we all look forward to at Thanksgiving. I also secretly hope that this becomes the official theme song for Thanksgiving," Rector jokes about his new holiday song. From pumpkin pies to green bean casseroles, down to the cranberry sauce and gravy, Thanksgiving has a look and feel all of its own—except for the music! "I realized I hadn't ever heard a...

The Old Testament book of Jeremiah tells the story of Judah, a suffering nation haunted by disobedience, corruption and godlessness. Unfortunately, it’s not difficult to see the resemblance between today’s America and ancient Judah. We read in Jeremiah 2:8, “The priests did not say, ‘Where is the Lord?’ Those who handle the law did not know me; the shepherds transgressed against me; the prophets prophesied by Baal and went after things that do not profit” (ESV). The spiritual breakdown of Judah began with its religious leaders and lawmakers. Jeremiah’s observation that corrupt leadership infects the entire nation like a moral...

When starting to write this holiday-themed Bible Study, I Googled “Myra Adams Thanksgiving” to refresh my memory of prior Turkey Day op-eds with (honestly) the intention of “stealing” some thoughts or quotes. Seriously, how many times can one reinvent the “real” meaning of Thanksgiving when Divine concepts and the holiday’s biblical basis remain static and well-documented?Besides, stealing thoughts or quotes from holidays past is not specified as contravening one of the Ten Commandments – "You shall not steal” (Exodus 20:15).Hence, let’s begin with the “Father of Our Country” George Washington, who also fathered the Thanksgiving holiday. As you read his...

'Choose ye this day who you will serve,' said the Democrat Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said in a 2011 sermon that Americans cannot serve God while also serving in the U.S. military. The newly unearthed comments threaten to complicate Warnock's candidacy in a tight Georgia Senate race: Georgia is home to the fifth largest active duty military population in the country, according to a 2018 Department of Defense report. "America, nobody can serve God and the military," Warnock said in the sermon delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where he serves as senior pastor. "You can't serve God...

My beloved fellow FReepers, it tells us in God's Word to "faint not at the promises of God." Indeed, the Lord Jesus Christ through the power of His Holy Spirit is in control of all things, and His Word is "Yes" and "Amen." The word Amen means "so be it"--The Almighty God's confirmation that we can have the utmost confidence that everything in Holy Scripture will come to pass. All who have put their faith in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior, can...

Face book has blocked my ability to share my commentaries on the Facebook Christian groups that I am a long standing member of. This is the message I got when I attempted to share my Commentary b on the Epistle of Hebrews. This is not new for me, because for over 3 years FB has flagged me to shadow block and deny my posts. Those were because of my political stances, and I have been suspended so many times that I lost count. I once had 1500 friends. However, but now it's down to 1200, and it seem I...

Sometime comets are viewed as signs and omen...Some of you might find this interesting concerning the signs in the stars...

George Washingtons vision about America.

As a boy, I remember “watching” the epic chess battle between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer. It was aired on channel 13, the PBS station in New York, and a bell would ring, announcing the latest move. This, in turn, would be posted on the screen, after which the experts would debate the reason for the move. Sometimes, they would be utterly baffled. Why would Fischer do this? It makes no sense. What was Spassky thinking? Then, after playing out a number of potential scenarios, sometimes a dozen or more moves ahead, they would realize the strategy. It was absolute...

From Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann AND SHARED WITH HER PERMISSION: In the aftermath of the election, what is going on in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada is nothing short of wicked. Just tonight Arizona was moved from the “blue” column to the “white” toss-up column. Our prayers are availing much! It is now up to the Body of Christ to step up. WHAT IF we mobilize a mighty intercessory prayer army to storm the gates of heaven on behalf of the voters of these states? If God has chosen to pronounce judgment on...

To all, Over the years there have been many people who have read the various letters and posts I have written. Many were emailed and hand delivered, along with being posted on various sites. I thank you all. The intent of this information has, and will continue to be, providing an informed perspective that you may evaluate the litany of insurrections inflicted upon the American populous, and deal with them in a timely and informed manner, rather than react out of fear and anger. The Democrat governance, and their myriad co-conspirators, have taken us for quite a ride. They have...

Psalm 93 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

A Love Letter FromOur Father In Heaven by Chuck NessOctober 31, 2020 When asked by His disciples to teach them how to pray as John's disciples prayed, Jesus gave them this prayer as a model. "Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever....

br />It is with out a doubt that a majority of Americans still believe “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” Genesis 1:1. Unfortunately, most who believe these words cannot answer the questions raised by the thousands of fossils that archeologist's have dug up and claim are millions of years old.  We are told that such methods as Radiocarbon tests to find the levels of Carbon-14 remaining in fossils, U-Pb dating of volcanic materials to determine how long ago lava cooled, helioseismic dating to get a helium diffusion age in the field of astrophysics, and many...

Father James Altman returns in Part IV for a special message before Catholics & Christians vote November 3rd. He names 3 intrinsic evils of one party's platform, and explains why a vote for Biden... is a vote for the Godless.

Additionally, it appears on all major bookselling lists.  The Harbinger ll is a sequel to “The Harbinger,”Cahn’s 2011 first mega-hit that spent over 100 consecutive weeks as a NYT bestseller and among Amazon’s top 100 bestsellers for over six months. If unfamiliar with Cahn, you might ask, “What is the topic of these two Harbinger books that many believe the NYT mistakenly...

Although non-believers don’t realize it, and perhaps never will, Providence is keeping Western Society from being capsized by a Democrat-pushed complete Socialist State, where all lives—including innocent babes in the womb—don’t matter. It is the Almighty’s Providence now keeping the masses from despondency and despair even with all churches either closed, or restricting the number of longing souls who can attend scheduled services. It was only Providence that sent President Donald Trump back Home to the White House after two days of being treated for Coronavirus at the Walter Reed Medical Center; Providence that had average folk seeing straight through...
