Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Most people think of Halloween today as simply a day when children dress up in costumes and go from home to home to “trick or treat” and collect enough candy to make any parent cringe. Halloween was much more significant in ancient times, however. October 31st was a very important day to the ancient Celts of Ireland, Scotland and Great Britain. No kidding around in costumes and trick or treat bags; Halloween was much more serious to the non-Christian Cults … Continue reading →

The End of the World

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Was Jesus ever questioned about the “end of the world” and the sign that would point to His return? Well, yes and no.  The Greek word translated “world” in the KJV in Matthew 24:3 is ‘aion’, more accurately translated in other versions meaning “age” – not the physical planet on which we live.  He wasn’t talking about the physical “end of the world” and He wasn’t talking about His final coming. Jesus left the temple and was walking away when … Continue reading →

Halloween Origins and Customs

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

History traces Halloween back to the ancient religion of the Celtics in Ireland. The Celtic people were very conscious of the spiritual world and had their own ideas of how they could gain access to it – such as by helping their over 300 gods to defeat their enemies in battle, or by imitating the gods in showing cleverness and cunning. Their two main feasts were Beltane at the beginning of summer (May 1), and Samhain (pronounced Sah-ween) at the … Continue reading →

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

World changing technological discoveries don’t come along very often, and when they do the full weight of their impact isn’t always felt immediately. Take the automobile, the cell phone, and the internet as modern examples. One of these world changing advancements is standing right in front of us now. Scientists are still in the early stages of grasping it’s full potential but the excitement is palpable. It won’t be long before this medical discovery walks through the door into our … Continue reading →

You No Longer Have any Privacy

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

In today’s post-911 environment, your privacy is no longer something you can expect. Our privacy has been invaded by big government and big business tracking and data-basing of our medical records, employment records, education records, driving records, travel records, library records, financial records….etc. Much of this privacy, we have freely given away to multi-national corporations in the small print of the “terms and conditions” we routinely accept in exchange for trinkets to entertain us. Companies like Google and Facebook that … Continue reading →

The Fifth Trumpet

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Could the Symbols seen by the Prophet John Indicate the use of Modern Weaponry? John described what he saw in a vision of events that God had revealed to him. It was a mysterious, frightening spectacle for sure. Since this revelation came to John nearly 2000 years ago, it’s understandable that he might not know precisely what he was seeing and was only able to translate what he saw into what he knew at that time. Could it be possible … Continue reading →

Donald Trump – The Donald, apparently since his first wife Ivana Trump referred to him as such in a 1989 Spy magazine cover story. … Continue reading →

Jeremiah 11:11

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

Following every contrived “crisis” in America, the response is always the same… to erode more liberties in exchange for the promise that it will never happen again. And the result is, it continues to happen again and again, only American citizens have LESS freedom.

Information Gerrymandering

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

You and Your Average Fellow Americans are being denied access to relevant information. All of us and especially our children today are being brought up in a world where competing ideas are not easily found. The Internet and world wide web seemed to promise an unfettered access to all kinds of information to improve our lives.  But today that technology is being abused by those with an agenda contrary to that of Christ.  We are living in a time of … Continue reading →

Modern Day Book Burning

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

We seem to be experiencing a 21st. Century version of book burning in our society. The burning of books has a long history as a tool that has been wielded by authorities both secular and religious, in their efforts to suppress dissenting or heretical views that are believed to pose a threat to the prevailing order.  Book burnings were regularly organized in Nazi Germany in the 1930s by storm-troopers so degenerate works could be destroyed, especially works which were written … Continue reading →

The New Normal of Social Distancing

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

In what looks more like an Orwellian nightmare, we’ve been told it’s necessary to social distance from others to prevent spreading coronavirus.  On the surface, that seems to make sense, right?  Social distancing, also called physical distancing, is a set of non-pharmaceutical interventions or measures intended to prevent the spread of a contagious disease by maintaining a physical distance between people and reducing the number of times people come into close contact with each other and avoiding gathering together in … Continue reading →

The Rumor with Furry Feet – Gossip

Jeremiah Project Posted on by

A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends. [Proverbs 16:28] “The Rumor with Furry Feet” You wouldn’t think Christian people would say bad things about each other. But they do. At Eric and Pammy’s church, some of the kids gossiped a lot. Usually it was silly stuff but sometimes some of the kids acted snooty to some of the other kids in the Sunday School class even though Mrs. Wallace the teacher talked to them a … Continue reading →
