Earthquakes. Tsunamis. Wrong is called right. Right is called wrong. Wars. Rumors of wars. Strange alliances that look like Gog and Magog. To look at our world, and read Scripture, don’t you wonder if Jesus is coming back soon? None of us will know the day, but the Bible tells us to look for birthContinue reading “Earthquake. Tsunami. Is Jesus Coming Back Soon?”

One day it will be too late…
Oh friends, Jesus came and He is coming again. The Day seems closer with each passing moment and headline. The prophets foretold Jesus coming. John the Baptist proclaimed He was here! The Kingdom of Heaven is still powerfully advancing and those who have ears should listen! (Matt 11:15) As Jesus continued His earthly ministry, heContinue reading “One day it will be too late…”
Last Days? Do this first…
I can’t read these words and not wonder if we are living in the last days— “But know this, in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors,Continue reading “Last Days? Do this first…”
Lion of Judah!
I remember as a little girl peering around my mom trying to read the colorfully decorated banners being carried down the aisle at church for the annual Christmas program—each with different names of God. Names like:“King of Kings”“Lord of Lords”“Lion of Judah” For many years, I took those names for granted. I ran from God.Continue reading “Lion of Judah!”
Which will you hear?
Jesus has been talking about the End Times, being ready for His return, and about how His followers should be using what they’ve been given for eternal harvests. (Matt 24-25) He then starts talking about a time of judgment where the sheep (Christians) will be separated from the goats (non Christians). The sheep will beContinue reading “Which will you hear?”
One of the most debated statements Jesus ever made.
It is one of the most debated of the statements Jesus ever made —“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” (Matt 24:13) What does this mean? “Interpreters offer three basic possibilities for Jesus’ meaning here. One is that those who remain faithful to Christ until death will see eternal salvation—meaning those whoContinue reading “One of the most debated statements Jesus ever made.”
Sign of the End of Days
Jesus called out the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees and mercifully states how He longs to gather them close to Himself but they were not willing. (Matt 23). He then walks away from the temple leaving it forever behind in His earthly ministry. (Matt 24:1). The disciples point back to the grandeur of theContinue reading “Sign of the End of Days”
The Encouragement of Prophecy in Matthew 24
I’ve been pondering it for days. Years really. For every time I read Matthew 24, I come away thinking, I don’t clearly understand. But this time, as I work through commentaries and pray through it all, one suggestion strikes me as certainly plausible. Perhaps the Word, Jesus, in talking about the Second Coming is intentionallyContinue reading “The Encouragement of Prophecy in Matthew 24”
Prophecy being FULFILLED
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you know this world is CRAZY! The Middle East is on fire. Alliances are being formed that we’ve never seen before. And, even if you’re not very “religious”, you probably know the Bible has predicted many of the things that have happened in our world. Truly, things seemContinue reading “Prophecy being FULFILLED”
Are we seeing birth pains?
As world events unfold, I can’t help but notice the countries involved, and am reminded of the alliances and events described in Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation. Are we seeing the “birth pains” of our Savior’s return? Are we approaching the End Days? I don’t know. But I know Jesus is coming back. Do you knowContinue reading “Are we seeing birth pains?”
Do you wonder if Jesus is coming back soon?
Lately, I’ve found myself wondering if Jesus is coming back soon. Have you? Here are some things we know about the Second Coming of Christ— People will be going about their normal day-to-day stuff… getting married, partying, buying and selling, building, and planting gardens. (Luke 17:26-30) Many will reject Jesus. Wickedness will also be acceptedContinue reading “Do you wonder if Jesus is coming back soon?”
Do you feel a sense of urgency in this scary world?
Do you feel a sense of urgency? For years I’ve hoped the words I’ve shared would draw others to love and trust Jesus more. I’ve put them out there, and I’ve prayed that those who don’t know Him, would somehow see Him in what He has led me to write and speak. But lately, I’veContinue reading “Do you feel a sense of urgency in this scary world?”
Enoch and Elijah won’t be the only two!
This is such a crazy, encouraging portion of Scripture…. So, Cain kills Abel then he marries and has children. Adam and Eve have other children. The earth population grows. And the Bible details both the good and the bad—Lamech takes two wives and boasts of murder. (See Gen 4) But then there is Enoch. GenesisContinue reading “Enoch and Elijah won’t be the only two!”
How many celebrate Christmas and miss true HOPE?
How many celebrate the birth of Christ, but still, hold tight to their sin instead of true hope? Of friend, as I look at this world, at the frailty of life highlighted by this pandemic, as I read prophecy, and as I remember the words of our Savior, “ I am coming quickly ”(Rev 22:20),—IContinue reading “How many celebrate Christmas and miss true HOPE?”

All true, but what can we do?
Yesterday, I shared a concern about where we are heading. Many of you shared it and the question was raised, “but what can we do?” Let me preface this by saying, I do believe- This pandemic is serious and confusing. Some people are dying, while others only get the sniffles, if that, when infected. OurContinue reading “All true, but what can we do?”
Are we approaching the End of Days with a missing America?
It’s easy to shake our head at all that is going on with our country. Honestly, I wonder if we are about to lose this great nation. Are we approaching the End of Days where America seems to be missing, or at least, irrelevant? How long will God have mercy on us? How long willContinue reading “Are we approaching the End of Days with a missing America?”
Are We Too Far Gone?
My neck is hurting from shaking my head so much lately. I honestly can’t believe what I’m seeing in our country. Is there still a silent majority? And why, are they so silent if they are there at all? Are we too far gone? Should Christians still try to influence the public square? Are schoolContinue reading “Are We Too Far Gone?”

He calls himself a Pentecostal worship leader and has garnered loads of attention for a ridiculous tweet where he said, “Jesus was ChristBuddha was Christ.Muhammad was Christ.Christ is a word for the universe seeing itself.You are Christ.We are the body of Christ.” And the thing is, many who think themselves wise, who call themselves spiritual,Continue reading “Beware—False Prophets abound”
