		<description><![CDATA[The latter part of February 2011, we traveled to Guatemala to minister in several churches.  Most of these churches were poor, small, and on the front lines of spiritual warfare.  These churches knew they were poor and small, but of spiritual warfare they knew little.  This lack of knowledge meant that they were taking a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever thought of those last few days before Jesus’s crucifixion from the disciples’ point of view?  What must that have been like?  Jesus had been saying some strange things, but they probably thought it was just a phase He was going through &#8211; after all the Chief Priests had be breathing murderous threats, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, Monday, November 23, 2009, Linda and I had the opportunity to gather with about 25 others in the home of Ann Platz to meet and hear Barukh Binah, Consul General of Israel. The privilege alone is worth bragging about, but I will resist the temptation. General Consul Binah spoke for about 45 minutes and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I read the sermon Charles Wesley preached at Oxford University, April 4, 1742, “Awake Thou That Sleepest.” I wish I was even half as poetic and even half as firey! Wesley said, “Shackled by misery and chains, the sleepers dream that they are free” and “You are sinking into the depth of damnation, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We live in a world where aggression is executed against innocent people. Some have labeled the shooting at Fort Hood, TX an act of war and the shooting in Orlando a tragedy. While both may be true there is something more tragic and more frightening going on here. Western civilization defines peace as the absence [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My dog, Pentecostal Fireball, is as faithful as any master could desire. Fridays are her favorite day, because that’s the day I’m usually home. This past Friday I stayed home all day, and she was delighted. When I went into the study for some computer time, she followed and lay next to my chair. As [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a couple of weeks now, I have watched the flowers blooming and trees budding. I can hear the birds chirping and the lawn mowers whirling. That means it will soon be Resurrection Day! It is easy this time of year to think about egg hunts and bunny rabbits, but let’s lay those things aside [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my previous blog I talked about the superiority of Abel’s offering as opposed to Cain’s. How can we justify God’s harsh judgment on Cain? For Cain and for his offering [God] had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. 6Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hebrews chapter 11, the “Hall of Faith” chapter begins with the sacrifices of Cain and Abel. Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. Other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So little is said of Enoch but yet he must have been a great man of faith for he was “pleasing to God.” Genesis 5:24 says, “Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.” Escaping death is a rare thing. Only Enoch and Elijah have that distinction, but how did they [...]]]></description>
