The Truth Barista

The Truth Barista and Amazing Larry shift from Jesus’ message to the churches to Jesus’ message to His people as a whole. We need insight and humility as we move forward. We don’t know for sure how all of this will fit together, but we can take the prophetic puzzle pieces in Revelation and see the greater picture develop. We also need additional prophecies from Daniel 7. Frothy Thoughts with the T...

Jesus speaks to the Good-For-Nothing lukewarm Laodicean congregation. His final word to the seven churches is a stark rebuke to any church that thinks it needs nothing, especially Jesus. Sadly, this applies to many indifferent Christians and congregations today. Jesus’ corrective words still apply – “be zealous and repent!” Frothy Thoughts with the Truth Barista Visit HighBeam Ministry, The Truth...

Given enough time, corruption leads to death. Sardis is the spiritually dead church, a Dead Church Walking, which Jesus addresses in Revelation 3:1-6. As a spiritual salvage operation, Jesus commands them to find what’s still alive and nurture it. On the other hand, Jesus commends the Philadelphia congregation for their outstanding life and faithfulness. What a contrast! Frothy Thoughts with the T...

Although Jesus’ messages to the churches in Asia Minor were for that day and what was coming their way, His messages continue to ring to our day. In Revelation 2:18-29, Jesus convicts Thyatira as the corrupt church that tolerated sin. The message to us is, “Are we slowly being corrupted by tolerating sin in our lives?” Visit HighBeam Ministry, The Truth Barista Check out the Frothy Thoughts Blog!...

The Truth Barista and Amazing Larry dive into Jesus’ corrective words to His seven primary congregations in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), Revelation 2:1-11.

No love = no life.” Jesus’ message to the Smyrna congregation? “I know what you’re going through. It’s going to...

Why is idolatry so appealing? Because it’s fueled by our desires and we look to things other than God to meet those desires. Doing so is like a husband or wife looking to another person other than their spouse for what they need or want. Since God is our sole supplier, should we look to anything or anyone else?

Why did the Father plan to send Jesus to die for us? Because He created us to be WITH Him forever. But sin separates us from God. Sin also puffs up our pride distancing us from Him even more. Our heavenly Father gave us pictures via the Older Covenant animal sacrifices that His Son would fulfill so we could be WITH Him again – forever!

The Truth Barista and Amazing Larry dive into Obadiah’s book to reveal the Edomites’ evil actions against the remnant of Israel as God’s people were being driven into Exile by the Babylonians.

But they didn’t take God’s measure for measure judgment into account Vi...

The Truth Barista and Amazing Larry walk through the tumultuous events between Jacob and Esau (Genesis 27) that led to the Israelite-Edomite family feud that prompted Obadiah’s prophecy thirteen hundred years later.

The Truth Barista and Amazing Larry take a deep look at the Jacob-Esau conflict that is the basis for Obadiah’s message – the birthright and the blessing.

A silent watchdog is worthless. God’s leaders are called to speak up and declare the truth with love. Sadly, too many leaders remain silent in the face of evil and claim that confrontation is not loving. Or is it fear of man or losing church members, or diminished budgets? If our leaders refuse to bark God’s truth against our culture’s sin, are they worthless watchdogs? What about us Christians? V...
