If I could describe the world today with one word it would be an “enigma” (something difficult to understand). Everyone is trying to figure out everything from the latest prophecy to the latest conspiracy theory, and from the latest church doctrine to the latest tradition. The war is raging on social media and in the halls of Congress dividing the nation not between a few political parties but between every human being. If that’s not bad enough the war is raging in the Churches and between the growing number of denominations or sects. The whole world is seeing through a glass darkly. They look, they read, they try to figure things out and they simply don’t understand. People have read the entire Bible, and they still don’t understand. Everything seems like an anomaly, like the shifting sands of the Sahara Desert. As we fast approach the End, we no longer have time to try and figure out things on our own and develop our own little favorite doctrines at the exclusion of others. We don’t have time to seek after our favorite prophecies and sliced up sermons on the internet or social media. Simply put, we are out of time. Continue reading Seeing Through a Glass Darkly

Can You Hear Christ Knocking
Once again humanity as a whole has rejected God and has recreated Him in their own image. Since the fall in the Garden of Eden, humanity has attempted to fill this great void in their hearts caused by rejecting God. Humanity created idols, gods made in the images of the known world, and even darker images of the unseen world. The void created in the hearts of humanity is a horrible thing causing them to feel extremely anxious and lost, always searching for some kind of meaning in their lives. In time every type of world religion was created to help mankind to fill this awful void. Although in the beginning it primarily began with idol worship, in time it developed into detailed theology and ever-increasing traditions to help humanity fill the void from rejecting the one true God. We have also observed humanity, especially in the Last Days, attempting to fill the void in their hearts by essentially becoming their own god. Even most of those who have chosen a religious label have allowed themselves to become their own little god sitting on the throne in the throne room of their hearts. There is only one true way to fill that indescribable void bringing us to the precipice of what we were originally created to be. Keep reading to discover how to fill the void in our hearts.

Pressing On Toward The Goal
Pressing on toward the goal is beyond difficult when your whole world has been turned upside down. Even in the worst of tragedies, there was a semblance of normality when hope remained for completing the course. There was hope when there remained true companions on the course participating in the struggle of pressing on toward the goal. However, when the hope diminished by an unrecoverable loss, then the goal faded in the distance. When the goal fades along with the hope of reaching it, then new struggles emerge cutting deep within the heart. How does one recover the hope of their calling? How can a new goal be established that resurrects a world that has been completely turned upside down? There are solid answers to both these questions that have penetrated deep within my heart by the Holy Spirit, our true Comforter in times of pain and great loss. The loss was the unrecoverable loss of my sweet wife, Robin, who struggled for fifteen years with Alzheimer’s disease. This is a horrific disease that takes a person slowly, one piece at a time, over the course of many years. Through each step, the caregiver is also sorely affected pressing us to me more for their continued happiness and self-worth. Continue reading Pressing On Toward The Goal
