“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power your majesty. But even if he doesn’t, your majesty, we want to make it clear to you that we will never serve your gods or worship the statue you have set up.” Daniel 3:17-18 Most would serve a god who always answered prayers with a yes, but what if he said no? Faced with death … Continue reading →
This article will explore three views of the nature of man and their relationship to God held by the early Christian church and how those views developed into what we accept today in the modern church. The three views are: Augustinian – man is spiritually dead; Pelagianism – man is spiritually well at birth and chooses his own destiny; and semi-Pelagianism – man is spiritually sick and only needs the help of a higher power to assist him in his … Continue reading →
Evidence can be seen all around you of the security grid being fortified as government tightens it’s grip on its citizens. Some would point to this and other evidence showing the preparation of a police state. But, I would suggest the police state is not something in the future… we are now living in a police state. Since the passage of the 2001 USA Patriot Act, your local police department, once used to defend and protect the citizens, has been … Continue reading →
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” [John 10:10] I believe far too many Christians are NOT living a victorious life in Christ because they have not used their tools to use along with their gifts. Well meaning, but deceived, leaders in many congregations tell their flock they are not victorious because they don’t have enough faith. Rather than lift them with the … Continue reading →
Are you involved with a church and want a good ministry idea? Then listen up because I have an idea and want it to happen, but right now I could only help with information. Let the love of Christ shine. When someone gets diagnosed with Covid, they are told to stay home and not associate with anyone. That creates a problem, especially if you are low income and don’t have what you need on hand. Oftentimes the person required to … Continue reading →
The words of King Darius: “He rescues people and sets them free by working great miracles. Daniel’s God has rescued him from the power of the lions.” Daniel 6:27 CEV What a testimony!

Barcodes are everywhere: they are as familiar as a trip to buy groceries. Now part of almost every package that crosses the supermarket, drugstore, and retail counter, bar codes and other related technology stand poised to move into many other facets of society. In their quest for better device identification, the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA have tested new coding systems that pack in much more information than current bar codes. These new “two-dimensional” bar codes can squeeze in … Continue reading →
“Then the king gave orders to arrest the men who had maliciously accused Daniel. He had them thrown into the lion’s den along with their wives and children. The lions leaped on them and tore them apart event before they hit the floor of the den.” Daniel 6:24 When you set a trap for others it might well be used to trap you.

“The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den. Not a scratch was found on him for he had trusted in his God.” Daniel 6:23 Yes the impossible can happen. Daniel did not have a mark on him and yet he spent the night with lions. He paid a visit to the home of the lions and did not become the main course. His trust in the Lord was well placed. Yesterday we looked at Darius. … Continue reading →
“When Darius got there he cried out in anguish, Daniel, servant of the living God whom you serve so faithfully, was your God able to save you from the lions? Daniel answered, long live the king.

Can’t you just see the relief … Continue reading →

Very early the next morning the king got up and hurried out to the lion’s den. When he got there the king called out in anguish, Daniel, servant of the living God, was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel 6:18-20 Darius again is our focus. He knew … Continue reading →
“So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him, may your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.” Daniel 6:16 Daniel meets his fate as a result of breaking the king’s law. Even the king doesn’t like it, but the law must be kept even if your friend breaks it. So Daniel gets arrested and thrown into the den of lions. I guess that … Continue reading →
“Then they told the king, that man Daniel, one of the captives from Judah, is ignoring you and your law. He still prays to his God three times a day. Hearing this the king was deeply troubled and he tried to think of a way to save Daniel. He spent the rest of the day trying to think of a way to get Daniel out of this predicament.” Daniel 6:13-14 Step into the mind of this king. His officials tricked … Continue reading →
Central to the New World Order agenda to dominate the world is another contrived crisis using the Hegelian Dialectic to advance their goals… We are told we have a “environmental crisis” – justifying governments around the world to impose far reaching new regulations on society while globalist multinational energy companies are raking in record profits and buying up the world’s real estate. In 2020 they introduced us to Covid-19 along with their economy busting policies supporting their Agenda 21 / … Continue reading →
“But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open towards Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God. Then the officials went together to Daniel’s house and found him praying and asking for God’s help.” – Daniel 6:10-11 Daniel disobeyed the king’s law. He knew the penalty for doing this. Surely he could … Continue reading →
