Why Christianity MUST Be True
Of all the various religious belief systems embraced around the world, Christianity stands apart because Christianity cannot be mythologized. Everything about Christianity is grounded in solid history.

Sign of Christ's Coming
August 12, 2016 - Prophecy - Signs
Alf Cengia
I've been reading through my Morning and Evening Spurgeon Devotional. He was called the Prince of Preachers for good reasons. I love his grand language and his pastoral insights. He was a man of great faith who worked tirelessly for the kingdom of God.
MegaPastors and MegaChurches
August 11, 2016 - Globalism - Ecumenism
J.L. Robb
Is the megachurch of today the same as the church of yesterday? Does the megachurch teach the same message as the church of yesterday? Does having more members mean having a better church?
Giants in the Land

Heads Up! Nephilim are everywhere. On The X-Files, three genetically deformed children turned out to be Nephilim. Multiple horror movies, TV Shows and video games have featured Nephilim as agents of destruction. And in the recent movie Noah, (Russell Crow), Nephilim were imprisoned by God in blocks of stone, but later freed for defending the ark. Nephilim are everywhere!
It’s the End of the World, Now What?

For the better part of 50 years now, Hal Lindsey has said that Christ's return is imminent, but I fear that for many, apocalypse-fatigue is setting in. The series sparked a huge renewed interest into the idea of the Rapture, and for what follows, but even that excitement seems to have faded. With all the geo-political, economic and technological changes happening every day, the modern man has developed an increasingly short attention span.
Scripture Contains God’s Word?

Scripture Contains God’s Word?
Great Men of Prophecy
August 04, 2016 - Prophecy - Signs
J.L. Robb
“You have to take Bible prophecy literally, just like everything else in the Bible.” Tim LaHaye
A Tale of Two Sisters
A Farewell to Selma and Patty
August 02, 2016 - Witnessing Tools
Wendy Wippel
Remember Selma and Patty from the long-running TV show, The Simpsons? Bart Simpson's ill-tempered, chain-smoking spinster aunts (on his mother’s side?).
American Albatross
August 01, 2016 - Globalism - Ecumenism
Pete Garcia
It’s very easy to be labeled a ‘doom and gloomer’ these days for simply reporting the facts. “But facts are a stubborn thing”, John Adams once said.
A Good Person
July 29, 2016 - Witnessing Tools
Alf Cengia
I'm a good person. And so are you. You just have to find the love inside and set it free.
A Most Serendipitous Species
July 26, 2016 - In Defense of the Faith
Wendy Wippel
Hot off the press from National Geographic today. An article entitled, “12 Theories of How we became Human, and Why they’re All Wrong". Very interesting piece. First, because this bastion of the scientific establishment willingly admits they are pretty much clueless, and second, because just about every possibility but the obvious one—creation by a superior being- is proposed.
This Present Darkness
July 25, 2016 - Witnessing Tools
Pete Garcia
In 1986, a virtually unknown Frank Peretti released his seminal and best to date, fiction book This Present Darkness. In it, he uses a small town as the setting and unfolds for the reader the very real power struggle between a local pastor and the growing, conspiratorial sundry of various agencies that are working in a subversive plot to sabotage and overthrow the Christian faith in various areas of the town by way of New Age religious indoctrination. At the very heart of all New Age agenda is the belief that humans can become as ‘gods’. We know that this was the very first lie that was ever mentioned in the Bible, when Satan masquerading as the serpent, presented this half-truth to Eve.
Can We Trust Prophecy?
July 22, 2016 - In Defense of the Faith
Alf Cengia
Can we trust prophecy? Some people caution against it.
Defending the Defenseless
July 21, 2016 - Prophecy - Signs
J.L. Robb
With the police under attack in the United States, I wonder what would happen if they all went on strike? They have one of the toughest and most thankless jobs, and they don’t do it for the money.
River of Time
July 19, 2016 - Witnessing Tools
Wendy Wippel
One of the less contemplated (and less appreciated) attributes of God is His position as the 'real' Time Lord. He invented time. (As the fourth dimension of physical space, it didn’t exist until He created the universe.) And more often than you might think, His miracles are more a supernatural command of time than of the physical world. Exhibit A: The crossing of the Jordan River.
From Here to Eternity
July 18, 2016 - Prophecy - Signs
Pete Garcia
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” Barack H. Obama, 30 October 2008
Jerusalem and Islam
July 15, 2016 - Israel - Middle East
Alf Cengia
Once again that paragon of virtue, the United Nations, has moved to impose its will on the Jewish Temple Mount and Israel. Yes, I deliberately used the word "Jewish." Within the next few days UNESCO will be voting on a draft decision during its 40th annual meeting being held in Istanbul, Turkey.
Women and the Bible
July 14, 2016 - In Defense of the Faith
J.L. Robb
God has done some wonderful things for mankind throughout history, the greatest of which was Jesus the Christ. That gift made getting to heaven a real possibility.
Subatomic Spandex
July 12, 2016 - In Defense of the Faith
Wendy Wippel
Good news and bad news. At the moment my brain seems stuck on the minute mechanisms of the universe’s creation, so if you didn’t groove on last week’s piece you won’t groove on this one either. Good news? If you did groove on last week’s you’ll probs like this one just as much. (Or maybe even better…)
Are You Ready?

Pete Garcia
Over the vast expanse of man’s time spent shuffling around on this little blue rock, two constants have ever been his companion; misery and tragedy. Of course, this was not how it was intended to be, but man, given the choice, chose to go his own way.
A Love Affair With Islam
July 08, 2016 - Terror - Islam
Alf Cengia
The West is entrenched in a love affair with Islam.
Scientist Has Proof that God Exists
July 07, 2016 - In Defense of the Faith
J.L. Robb
“Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. … That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.” ~Robert Jastrow (1925-2008) Christianity Today, August 6, 1982
Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On
July 05, 2016 - Witnessing Tools
Wendy Wippel
In the old days (i.e, 1980s) the prevailing view was that our universe was made up of particles, like protons and electrons. Particle physics, however, has since been replaced by String Theory, in which the universe is comprised of one-dimensional strings. Funny . Science has brought us right back to where the Bible’s always been, waiting for us to catch up. Again.
The Sinner in the Saint
July 04, 2016 - Witnessing Tools
Pete Garcia
One of the greatest paradoxical mysteries in all of the known universe, is that of the mystery of Christ in the believer. How can an all holy, all righteous, divine Being who is Creator and will not tolerate even the tiniest infraction of His divine law…dwell, inside His fallen, sinful, creation? Certainly, the Apostle Paul wrestled with the significance of this concept and was given the understanding to explain for our benefit. He says;

Sat, 13 Aug 2016 14:32:11 GMT
The trail of the papers, which has wound its way from Czechoslovakia to Israel and Switzerland, sounds like it could be one of Kafka’s own stories.
War of attrition: The Syrian rebellion grinds on into its 6th year, with no end in sight

In the Sunni-Shia proxy war currently under way, no side has a clear and obvious advantage.

Lawsuit claims US aid to Israel violates nuclear pact
Sat, 13 Aug 2016 13:48:35 GMT
The US has had a long-standing policy of keeping mum on the existence of Israel’s nuclear weapons program.
What is Trumponomics, and how would it affect Israel?
Sat, 13 Aug 2016 08:17:23 GMT
Israel should prepare for a world in which economic borders and walls are restored.
Kurdish women take up arms alongside men to defend their people
Sat, 13 Aug 2016 05:15:01 GMT
The presence of women fighting ISIS became an exotic and sensational topic in 2014 and 2015, but the reality of life for many women is more complex.
US will not 'foreclose' UN options on two-state solution, Power says
Sat, 13 Aug 2016 02:27:59 GMT
France has led an effort in recent months to outline international parameters for a two-state solution. Israel opposes the initiative as an imposition of terms.
