The Breach of Truth – Part 2

If we are to overcome deception, we need to understand how it enters in.  The Church is described in Scripture as the New Jerusalem, the spiritual nation of Israel.  We are in the days of the restoration of all things (Acts 3:19-20).   The Lord declared by the prophet Amos: “On that day I will raiseContinue reading “The Breach of Truth – Part 2”

The Breach of Truth

Restoration is needed in the Church if she is to accomplish her end-time purpose.  This is certain to be done, but how it will be done, and who will be part of it, depends on how we individually respond to the Lord.  The Early Church rebuilt the temple of the Lord by the power ofContinue reading “The Breach of Truth”

How Shall We Pray?

Some challenging events have occurred since my last article.  Last week we saw the U.S. election go in a direction that, from a Christian perspective, spells trouble for that nation.  Also, our family has experienced some personal tragedies.  How do we react to these defeats?  Do we deny they occurred, or do we trust GodContinue reading “How Shall We Pray?”

Repairers of the Breach

The watchman prophet stands on the wall and sounds the alarm when the enemy approaches.  The warrior intercessor stands in the gap and pleads the Lord to have mercy and deliver the city.  We must heed the voice of the prophets and we must respond to the Lord’s call for intercessors (Ezek. 22:30), but theContinue reading “Repairers of the Breach”

End-Time Vision – Part 2

In the book of Revelations, we read about a day when the devil and his angels are cast out of heaven, to the earth (Rev. 12:9).  This is an event that occurs later than the one at the beginning where he loses his position as an archangel.  At the fall of man, he stole man’sContinue reading “End-Time Vision – Part 2”

End-Time Vision – Part 1

When it comes to end-time events, we must admit that we only see in part and know in part (1Cor. 13:9-12).  For us to continue seeing more clearly, two things are necessary.  First, we must not be too quick to draw conclusions.  Secondly, we must be willing to hear what others are saying.  It isContinue reading “End-Time Vision – Part 1”

Faith is Contagious

I do not like to challenge an animal who feels threatened, but neither do I believe in running away when I am threatened.  Living in north central Canada has provided me with more than one encounter with wild animals.  I can expect those in the wild, but not usually in the city.  A few daysContinue reading “Faith is Contagious”

Helping People Grow

I was thinking the other day about how much of the work of a shepherd is done by the sheep themselves.  My son and his wife have a small farm where they are raising sheep.  It is interesting to watch how the ewes take care of their lambs.  I think there is a similarity inContinue reading “Helping People Grow”

The Remnant

Isaiah was a prophet to the nation of Israel before she was led into captivity because of her rebellion.  He described her condition as: “The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints.  From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it…” (Is. 1:5-6).  When I cameContinue reading “The Remnant”
