Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
I often use the phrase “the powers that be.” Much is tied up in that expression–more than even the most spiritually astute might suspect. Usually, in considering these “powers,” we look at the Apostle Paul’s heads-up in his letter to the Ephesians. “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, […]

AUTHOR’S NOTE Fully realizing that most Rapture Ready family folks don’t generally prefer fiction, I nonetheless implore you to embrace this novel. I’m particularly doing so because of my concern for the young adults who have been largely ensnared by this perverse culture that Satan and his minions have managed to inflict and afflict. This […]

These thoughts encompass the many things of prophetic progression going on as we enter 2023. Issues and events are, indeed, speeding full bore toward that twinkling-of-an-eye instant when we hear Christ shout our names, saying, “Come up here!” However, I’d like to think a bit with you on the “race” Paul the apostle consistently worked […]

Thanksgiving, the holiday, is just past, and thanks-giving is yet in the future when all the things Jesus and the prophets forewarned will play out on the timeline of human history leading to our Lord’s return. Turkey is at the center of that thanks-giving future, and the nation by that name is hastily dressing—militarily—for its […]

Wish I could claim the thought within this commentary as my own, but I can’t. The realization comes from the Holy Spirit, as do all thoughts that truly glorify our God. But, humanly speaking, I must give credit for sparking my thinking to Dr. David Jeremiah, whose program Turning Point I try to catch at […]

Often we overlook much prophetic truth when we read and study God’s Word. The Bible is without limits in its rich wisdom available to be mined. The Creator’s purpose in giving His Word to the human race is to provide direction for living in the most abundant way possible. Jesus Christ is that Word. The last book of the […]

Incessant assaults against all that used to be considered saneness and biblical holiness bring into focus a particular end-times Scripture. “And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matthew 24:12-13). The word “iniquity” is defined as “lawlessness” in […]

We who see things developing from truth found in God’s prophetic Word can, I think, agree that secular (humanistic) efforts at dealing with the principalities and powers of Ephesians 6:12 aren’t working. Man trying to hold back the evil of this world has failed miserably at every level. Therefore, God’s next catastrophic intervention into earth’s […]

“Scanning a Fearful Future Part 10” (the conclusion of the series) was completed early in 2011. We’ve revisited that series of articles on two additional occasions, I believe. I am convicted that here, in September 2022, it’s time again to look ahead—”scan”—into the ever-deepening march of humanity toward the consummation of this Genesis 6-like age. […]

We’ve looked many times at how Satan wants to be worshipped as God. From the very beginning, in the account of his actions against God, we can see that prideful tendency that exploded into full-fledged rebellion. “For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the […]

Each passing second, advancing history goes deeper into the unknown for much—maybe for most—of the world’s population. From that unknown boils fear. The fear is steeped in self-conjured premonition that the evilest things imaginable will soon engulf life, bringing devastation and even death. It is the feeling of impending doom, of something dreadful lurking just […]

For those believers who understand that the PreTrib view of eschatology (study of end things) is truth presented by God’s word, seeing movement toward initiation of World War III should be especially pertinent. Not only is evidence of such movement front and center at the moment, but astoundingly dramatic movement it indeed is, by my […]
