Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God

Send us Fan Mail Today, I explore the impact of a decade or more of ignoring God and what it did to my spirit. We read Gen 17:3 and Rev 19. Abaraham loved God and was in awe of Him. He worshiped in spirit. In Rev 19, we see that God reigns. It's that FACT and comfort we need to embrace when the world is falling apart. How is your spirit? Are you in awe or is there a weakness there? I will con...

Send us Fan Mail This section reveals the dark destiny of this satanic kingdom—called by the symbolic name “Babylon”—and the beast who leads it. We see God’s judgment on religious Babylon—the evil “religious” system of the end times, and the destruction of the beast’s vast economic and political system.  Babylon is destroyed in 1 hour and God is in control as He avenges His people, His martyrs.   ...

Send us Fan Mail Revelation reminds us that there is a cosmic battle going on now and will be going on in the future. No one can be neutral. Each of us is either part of the domain of darkness or part of the kingdom of God. As we yield to one sphere or the other, we become the companions of God or the companions of Satan. To doubt this reality is the gravest mistake any of us can make, because mak...

Send us Fan Mail Do you fear what's coming next in the world? Does it look like it is spinning out of control? Don't fear. God is in control and has the end already figured out! The bowl judgments are described in chapter 16 in rapid-fire staccato fashion, each one stronger in fury and intensity. Through all of this, the book of Revelation always reminds us that though the power of evil...

Send us Fan Mail But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. —Matthew 6:33  God wants to be loved for Himself and honored for Himself, but that is only part of what He wants. The other part is that He wants us to know that when we have Him, we have everything—we have all the rest.  This week, I'm focusing on loving God because He Is, no...

Send us Fan Mail Revelation 15 depicts the Tribulation saints who have overcome the beast. They sing songs of praise celebrating God’s infinite power, perfect sovereignty, and eternal faithfulness. It also introduces the seven angels who are given the task of pouring out seven bowls of wrath, God’s final judgments at the end of the seven-year Tribulation period. The bowl judgments are described in...

Send us Fan Mail Revelation 14 serves as a preview of the end of the Great Tribulation. In this chapter, John shows his readers the triumph and vindication of the 144,000 faithful Israelites, who are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. The fall of Babylon (symbolic of the Satanic world system) is foreseen and the fate of its loyalists foretold. The chapter then gives a summary glimpse of the battle...

Send us Fan Mail "It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark" Revelation 13:16-17 Today, we'll read the Bible and hear God's word and discover an incredible event. We'll also hear from AW Tozer and John MacArthur and g...

Send us Fan Mail Do you ever feel attacked and confronted on all sides? The Bible identifies Satan as a murderer, a liar, a roaring lion seeking to devour, the god of this evil age, the tempter, the dragon, the serpent, and the “accuser of the brethren” (Rev. 12:10).  His accusations against believers are unsuccessful because Christ is our Advocate (1 John 2:1). The Lord provides His saints with s...

Send us Fan Mail All the pain, sorrow, suffering, and evil in the world cause the godly to long for God to intervene. A day is coming when He will break His silence, a day when all the purposes of God concerning men and the world will be consummated. At this time, the Lord Jesus Christ will return and establish His earthly kingdom. The sounding of the seventh trumpet, which heralds the imminent re...

Send us Fan Mail Revelation 7 is a famous chapter. Part of that is because it is very specific, ie 144,000, yet is also open to a lot of interpretation. As a result, we'll read what God's Word says and do our best to hear His voice. Join me in reading chapter 7 and be encouraged.   Just a Guy and His World  

Send us Fan Mail Often, I've felt I love God or seek a relationship with Him because of what He can do for me, ie everlasting life, peace, contentment, etc However, shouldn't we love Him solely because He's God?  In this week's mindset, we'll focus on loving God because He's God and no other reason. Join me and be encouraged!   Just a Guy and His World  

Send us Fan Mail "I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest." Revelation 6:2 The white horse has to be about the one thing that “conquers” all, and that’s the truth of Christ. Jesus referred to Himself as “the truth” ( Jn 14:6 ). Thus the “crown” represents not only His authority as Rul...

Send us Fan Mail Did you ever stop to think about the rapture? It’s going to be something that’s never happened before. You might be walking around on the street and hear the sound of the trumpet—and suddenly you’re transformed! You won’t know what to do or how to act. Today as we read Revelation 5, we read about the Scroll and the Lamb who shed it's blood for our salvation.  Join me in readi...

Send us Fan Mail “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” —Revelation 4:11 Among the famous sayings of the church fathers, none is better known than Augustine’s, “Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee. ”  Is your heart restless? Jo...

Send us Fan Mail Let's set the foundation or starting point for our reading of the book of Revelation. In this podcast, I'll read what one of the greatest preachers and man of God has to say about the book so many find difficult. In typical Tozer fashion, he cuts to the heart of the matter and helps us understand the book more clearly with his insights.  Join me and be encouraged!   Just...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus describes the first three churches with a knowledge that's complete and intimate. He details their strengths and weaknesses: Ephesus - Hard work and perseverance, but has lost the original passion Smyrna - Suffering persecution and has no weaknesses Pergamum - Remained steadfast in proclaiming their faith, but allow false teachings  While each church has to prepare and...

Send us Fan Mail Does the book of Revelations intimidate you? Are you unsure of all the symbols and descriptions of the unusual? Do you feel like a person needs to be a theologian to understand it? I have felt the same way at times, but this is God's Word and He'll open it to you just as He would any other book of His. So, let's set aside any concerns or trepidation and see what the...

Send us Fan Mail This week, I'm focusing on Matthew 6:33, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. " As always, I will have to work to make this not be a procedure I follow for achieving a relationship or success with God. Instead, it's a command and I'm going to work to obey. Read with me and be encouraged.   Ju...

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever seen a glimpse of how God's plan fits together? Today, as we read about forgiveness and hope, we see a sliver of His plan fitting together. Because we're forgiven by Christ's sacrifice on the cross, we can have the Holy Spirit in our life who supplies hope. Without the sacrifice, there wouldn't be the second, hope.  Join me today in our reading an...

Send us Fan Mail Acceptance is often a difficult action to take, but we must if we want to truly know God. We must accept that we are sinners each and every day. We must accept we can't live an internally meaningful life without God. We must accept that only God can fill that inner space we try to stuff thing into to find happiness. We must accept we need God's love and the only way to H...

Send us Fan Mail There's a saying, "If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans". What's the difference between Man's plans and God's? Sometimes nothing and at others, everything.  When man's plans are in sync with God, they work. When they're counter to His, they fail. In today's readings, we see how the Pharisees tried to first trap, then kill...
