Prophetic Anticipations for the Last Days
Saturday, December 18th, 2010Concern about decaying environmental, economic and political conditions is moving the world toward global unification.

What ought we to be about in God in the Last Days?
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010There must be a cleaving to the prophetic word appropriate to the Last Days’ purposes of God. At its heart is Israel’s final redemption as obtained through a Church, alerted and prepared through such a word, for its own self-transfiguring and essential part in that restoration.

Message to a Secular University Audience
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008You may think that Christianity is derived from a Jewish foundation in religion, and that it is some narrow faith restricted to those who are Jews or Westerners, but that is not true. There is only one God, one faith, and one way for all men and for all nations. Let’s begin in the Gospel […]
Psalm 96 – Bringing the Future into the Present
Monday, April 14th, 2008How would you label this psalm? What kind of a psalm is it? Does it celebrate the God of Israel’s past? Is it speaking of the present? Is it an eschatological psalm that speaks of the eternal future? My sensing is that it is definitely the future. Can you picture this psalm being sung in […]
A Message for the Nations
Friday, April 4th, 2008“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it (Psalms 24:1). How blessed are the people whose God is the Lord (Psalms 144:15).” It is remarkable, when one reflects upon it, how little deference or consideration is given to God by the nations as nations. Somehow their […]
The Nations in Relation to God
Monday, March 24th, 2008We are all familiar with the Scripture, “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, and the nations and those that dwell therein.” We have quoted this Scripture many times, but we have not really believed it, and have therefore allowed the nations to indulge themselves in their independence as if they have no obligation to God.

A Message on Restoration and Return
Wednesday, February 13th, 2008(With quotations from Thomas M. Raitt’s A Theology of Exile, Fortress Press, 1977) The prophecies of Zephaniah, as is true with all the prophets of Israel, speak not only to the present condition and immediate future of the nation, but also its eschatological future and end. So one is warned of the Babylonian judgment then […]
God as a Factor in the Secular Affairs of Men
Thursday, February 7th, 2008I don’t know if anyone has noticed lately, but God, so long restricted to mere Friday through Sunday religious acknowledgment, is threatening to become a factor in the more serious affairs of men where He is usually excluded.
