The basic nature of earthly governments has not changed. Governments were created for people, not the other way around, but they are like a horse that wants to control its rider. If a horse can control its rider, it will try to throw him off and hurt him. When people lose control of their...

One of the American Founding Fathers said, “The government that is big enough to give you everything is also big enough to take everything from you.” From the beginning, governments were formed to control the people and use them for the purposes of the elite. They would often claim that what they...

When we have more faith in people than in God, we tend to get our security or confidence by how many people share our views. Jesus had a different perspective, saying in Luke 6:26: “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.” It is...

Continuing with the matter of understanding people, again we should not be surprised by how those who do not know the Lord put their trust in government. It is all they have to trust in. Even so, governments are failing and will continue to fail. The Great Commission is to offer the world a hope...

Even with the great increase of knowledge the world is now experiencing, there is not much understanding. Understanding means to “stand under” someone else’s situation, to put ourselves in their place. This comes mostly from learning to become a good listener, which is also very rare. Yet if we are...

The whole world is dealing with ultimate issues now. This is “The Valley of Decision” that was prophesied. The foundations of civilization are being shaken.

This week we will continue to cover the remnant principle and how it applies to today. I will use a bit of our American history for this, but regardless of what country you are from, many of these same principles will apply. The conclusion of the remnant principle is very encouraging, if we see it...

It was to the last church the Lord addressed in the Book of Revelation, the church of Laodicea, that He gave His greatest promise to. Those promises are for His people today. They are for you. When most people think of the church of Laodicea, they think of the negative rather than the positive. It...

As mentioned previously, The Holy Spirit is “the Helper” not “the Doer.” He will do His part, but He expects us to do ours. It is good to be able to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit, but we must not stop there. We must go on to seek Him for what our part is and then do it. We cannot be the...

We are now into the time when the glory of the Lord is being revealed. Ultimate evil is being revealed as well. As I already mentioned, when we started to pray for the Spirit of Truth to reveal things going on in the U.S. Government that we needed to know, my biggest surprise was how so few...
