PART ONE:The prophesy and realization of Gods plan to redeem mankind by the coming of the Messiah

A newspaper printed the obituary of millionaire Alfred Nobel, saying his fortune came from the death of others. Nobel invented dynamite. Fortunately, Nobel wasn’t actually dead, and when he read the newspaper’s obituary, he was horrified!
Nobel got a chance to do something few of us can do: he saw his life from the viewpoint of death. […]

(above: a farthing from the Roman era)
It’s interesting that Jesus spent the end of his life watching people giving in the Temple.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor […]

Ominous ‘Revolution’

Barna calls this population of compromised Christians “Revolutionaries” and has written a book ominously warning the rest of us to quit criticizing the “Revolution” — else get […]

Florida is well-known for its chameleons, lizards and other rodents besides all the beauty, warmth and sunshine.

At the Xenos Summer Institute in 2005, Bruxy Cavey gave two break-out session teachings. I attended his teachings and was extremely impressed with his insight, and Jesus-centered teachings. The description he gave of The Meeting House seemed impressive. […]

Paul describes Easter different than most people:
“He gave up his divine privileges…” Phil. 2:7
It describes the crucifixion of the Christ, and how ironic it is: they killed the author of life. He had eternal life, but exchanged it freely for death. He is the King of Kings with indisputable rights, but He gave up all those rights. […]
