All the confessed sins in heaven will be placed on...

Have you ever been on a tour? I don’t know about you, but I enjoy touring historic sites and ancient wonders. Well, a few years ago my wife and I visited Jamestown, California, and toured Railtown 1897 State Historic Park. When I study Revelation, it reminds me of that tour. Except, instead of touring an old railway town, we are following John as he tours the heavenly sanctuary!

A couple years ago, I was on a flight to Boise, Idaho, and by providence, I happened to sit next to a certain woman, and we struck up a conversation.

In 2008, I had the privilege of touring Egypt and seeing many of the ancient wonders of the world. While on that trip, I opted to splurge on a...

We would be remiss to go through this year without remembering the quadricentennial anniversary of the pilgrims’ journey to the New World. This perilous journey not only set the foundation for religious freedom in America but was also a...

God promises perfect peace without exception, and with only one condition to qualify. Trying to qualify for government aid requires you to jump through hoop after hoop, yet God always makes everything He offers simple to obtain. In the case of perfect peace, just keep your mind stayed...

For most of this world’s history, the primary source of power was wood...Today, we have many choices for sources of power, including solar energy and nuclear reactions. But there is actually another type of power that is essential — spiritual power. We need spiritual power for two primary reasons: 1) to overcome sin; and 2) to change the world.
