Last updated on: December 11, 2017 at 9:31 pm By Jim Erwin

Moving to a One World Economy Through Free Trade Agreements “And he requires everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark: the beast’s name or the number of his name.” (Revelation 13:16–17, HCSB) Today, the European Union and the United States of America are meeting to make a free trade agreement.

Waiting for God’s Vision

Last updated on: December 11, 2017 at 9:44 pm By Jim Erwin

Waiting for God’s Vision “I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the lookout tower. I will watch to see what He will say to me and what I should reply to my complaint. The Lord answered me: Write down this vision; clearly inscribe it on tablets so one may easily read it. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it testifies about the end and will not lie. Though it delays, wait for it,... Read more

What Changes God’s Attitude from Anger to Pleasure

Last updated on: March 28, 2018 at 8:34 pm By Jim Erwin

“God said, “What’s this? How is it that you can change your feelings from pleasure to anger overnight about a mere shade tree that you did nothing to get? You neither planted nor watered it. It grew up one night and died the next night. So, why can’t I likewise change what I feel about Nineveh from anger to pleasure, this big city of more than 120,000 childlike people who don’t yet know right from wrong, to say nothing of...

Psalm 127:1-5 Rewards of Being a Father

Last updated on: June 15, 2013 at 3:10 am By Jim Erwin

Psalm 127:1-5 Rewards of Being a Father Mark Twain’s best known remark is always worth repeating: “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” This psalm, which was written by Solomon is about the journey of a man. This is about the journey of a... Read more

Morally Straight…Or Maybe Not!

Last updated on: March 29, 2018 at 10:11 pm By Jim Erwin

“But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female.” (Mark 10:6, HCSB) I wrote about this topic previously (you can go here to read it), but recent events have prompted me to write again: The Boy Scouts of America have released a statement that outlines their policy concerning homosexuals. Essentially, they will accept boys, even if they claim to be gay. However, adult males can’t claim to be gay in order to work with these boys. This... Read more

Last updated on: June 11, 2013 at 3:38 pm By Jim Erwin

Revelation 14:6-12 Messages of Hope All around us today, there seems to be no hope. We are in the midst of a war with terror – more specifically a spiritual battle. We are engaged in a war with Islamic fundamentalists. These men are bent on destroying America and Israel. But Revelation is not just a book of gloom and doom. It is meant to spur Christians to action. It is a book of hope. There are messages of hope in... Read more

Mark 10:1-12 How to Defend Biblical Marriage in a Secular Society

Last updated on: April 23, 2018 at 12:31 pm By Jim Erwin

Mark 10:1-12 How to Defend Biblical Marriage in a Secular Society Two questions come before the Supreme Court this year, which have broad consequences for our faith. First, can an individual state define who gets married? This is the question of Proposition 8 which was passed in California, then struck down. Prop 8 said that marriage was between a man and a woman only. The Federal District Court in Perry v Schwarzeneggar struck down this law because it violated... Read more

Last updated on: June 13, 2018 at 9:38 pm By Jim Erwin

1 Chronicles 11:10-19 Remembering Our Heroes We have all heard of military heroes. We have heard of heroes who made great sacrifices so that others could continue. The one characteristic of great heroes is bravery in the form of self-sacrifice. These men who followed David had heard of David’s bravery as a young man earlier in his history when he went up against Goliath.
