During the 400 years between the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi and first book of the New Testament, Matthew, the people didn’t hear from God. It’s called the Intertestamental Period. What happened during those years? Was God really silent? Did He abandon Israel — His chosen people? In this special 2-part series, we will cover historical accounts that tell us about characters like Alexand...

The "Minor" Prophets of the Old Testament are called that because their books are short, but the pack powerful punches. Their messages were not just for the people of their time, but for the people of the 1st century and for us today. First and foremost, they warned the people of their day to stop sinning, repent and trust God only, or they will face His judgment. Most importantly, they...

The Book of Daniel is fascinating. It’s both a book of history and prophecy. Most importantly, it teaches us how to stand firm in our faith and not give in to the temptations and lures of culture, even power-hungry rulers. If you'd like to follow along in my blog, go here and search for "Daniel": https://seekthegospeltruth.com/ If you want a true relationship with Jesus, pray this pr...

If you feel that there is too much injustice in the world, this psalm is for you! Injustice is not a new thing. David experienced it back in the day. Furthermore, he knew who to call out to.

The “heat dome” over much of the United States is the main topic this week (besides the NATO summit). I’ve lived in Phoenix, AZ for 18 years and I’m used to 3-4 months of over 100 degree heat. It’s the opposite of living in the Northeast where I grew up. Here, we stay inside in the cool air conditioning as much as possible. Up north is the winter months where we stay inside in the warmth. At least...

n español 1.5: ¿Eres buena semilla o malezas? La semana pasada conté la parábola del sembrador que abrió Mateo capítulo 13. Esta semana continuamos en este capítulo con la parábola del trigo y las malezas. ¿Cual eres? Este episodio incluye Mateo 13:24-30, 36-43 NTV.

Confident: feeling or showing certainty about something.  Certainty: the firm conviction that something is the case; a fact that is definitely true or an event that is definitely going to take place; a person or thing that may be relied on. Now that you know what it is, I ask, “Is your heart confident in God?” Let’s look at this week’s Psalm… Keep reading in my blog where there are links to dig de...

Since we are living in the last days, it’s a good idea to start with a prayer… Sovereign God, Jesus, Name above all names, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth. Father, oh how we need You. This world is out of control! But You are still in control, and You are working in way...

La narración de historias es una de las mejores estrategias de mercadeo que existen. Jesús fue un gran narrador, por lo tanto, un gran vendedor. ¿Qué estaba vendiendo? Bueno, el Reino de Dios y la salvación, las Buenas Noticias. ¿Por qué Jesús enseñó en parábolas? Algunas las explicó y algunas las dejó para que las personas, y nosotros, las pensemos.  Esta parábola aparece en 3 Evangelios, Lucas,...

Between increasing unrest and lawlessness , wars and rumors of wars, throw in terrorism and persecution , and we’ve got a very dark and evil world. We can ask — where is God’s Mercy? Where is His Light of Life? What’s more, how much longer do we have to live in this darkness? In this psalm, we can feel David’s fear and pain, but we also realize that our answer, our light, is not in this world. Let...

Jesus warned us, "Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom." The Greek word for "nation" is "ethnos" from which we get our words "ethnic" and "ethnicity". It's also translated as "people group" against "people group". This is found in His Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24 , Luke 21 , and Mark 13 . Addit...

En español 1.3: Construye tu vida sobre una base fuerte y sólida En mi vida, he sobrevivido a seis huracanes. He visto casas arrasadas porque se construyeron demasiado cerca del mar. He visto cimientos derrumbarse porque fueron construidos sobre arena. En esta breve parábola, Jesús describe la importancia y la sabiduría de obedecer Su Palabra. Este episodio incluye Mateo 7:24-28 y Lucas 6:46-49 NT...

Christians all over the world celebrate the Day of the Christian Martyr every June 29th, which marks the martyrdom of the Apostle Paul. However, Paul wasn’t the first martyr. Yet, he was present at the stoning of the first one, Stephen.

Back in Psalm 54 , King David, the God-anointed king of Israel, was ratted out by strangers — which, you’d expect these types of troubles when in war. Here in Psalm 55, he is betrayed by a friend. Just like Jesus was centuries later.

Birth pains. I’ve never had children, but I know what happens when a woman is about to give birth. The pains start — weak at first, then get stronger. Initially, they are far apart, then they come more frequent. As they increase in frequency, they increase in severity. Friend, we are going through the the birth pains of the last days. Jesus clearly warned us about these times in His Olivet Discour...

When you look around at what’s going on in the world today, it does seem hopeless. If you focus on the bad news and the hope of the Good News fades away fast. In this psalm, David gives us a prayer to pray when we need hope — which is every day.

Well, is it time to panic yet? You know, we’re not supposed to. We’re told over and over by Jesus, “Don’t panic.” However, because we’re living in the Last Days, this world, this culture, is stirring us up so that we will panic. As you check out these news stories from this week, remember that our home is NOT this world. We must put our trust in our Sovereign God, who is still in control! Neverthe...

Esta parábola de Jesús realmente no es una parábola porque menciona a una persona por su nombre: Lázaro. No es el mismo Lázaro a quien Jesús resucitó de entre los muertos, pero un pobre hombre llamado Lázaro.  Como verás en futuros episodios, cuando Jesús cuenta una parábola, nunca menciona a una persona por su nombre. Por eso esta historia es diferente. Es verdad. En esta historia, tenemos un hom...

Naturally, when something is repeated in the Bible — sometimes not just once, but several times — God is trying to hammer it into our hearts. Psalm 53 is a perfect example of His call to us to continuously Seek Him.

Unmistakably, the outstanding last days news story this week was the catastrophic destruction of the Nova Kakhovka Dam in the Dnipro River in Ukraine. Undoubtedly, this tragedy is worse than Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon BP Oil Spill combined. Not only is it a humanitarian crisis, but an ecological, and environmental one, also. Naturally, what makes it worse is that it was man-made....

Having lived through 6 hurricanes in my lifetime, I've seen my share of uprooted trees. In fact, 18 years ago, it was the sight of 2 HUGE oak trees toppled over almost hitting my building that convinced me that it was time to leave Florida and move to Arizona. At that time, I wasn't as rooted in my faith as I am now. I'm not just rooted, I'm thriving because I am planted firmly in...

There’s too much going on! It’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to keep up with everything and post individual incidents here. However, keeping in mind the urgency of these last days, I’m going to take advantage of technology and continue embedding videos and tweets that carry some of the last days’ news stories. As always, at the bottom are some amazing stories of how the Good News of Salv...
