There are some powerful things that I wish we had more information on. Such as “And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.” Chapter 12 makes me wonder about [ READ MORE ]
There are more opinions on Revelation than total words. Sometimes when I read it I try to figure out what it could be saying to us today. For example 8:8 – “The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea.” Could that be a meteor? Or recently [ READ MORE ]
There is a song I use to not like but now I do like and it comes from Revelation 4 & 5. It has a very unique title – The Revelation Song. I think Toby would love Revelation 6 because it has horses and bows and swords. There is judgment coming the question is how long before [ READ MORE ]
A couple thoughts on this morning’s reading. A future series entitled the 7 churches has been in the works for 2 years now. Still waiting for God to make it clear as to when to do it. The other notable thing for me is that over and over again it is the deeds that are looked at. [ READ MORE ]

Thoughts from today’s scripture. Paul was crystal clear on his purpose and I’m not all that sure ours should be different, “to further the faith.” The significance of elders is unchanged I believe. Notice that they weren’t put in place right away. Paul usually left. Why? Could it be so that people could be observed for a [ READ MORE ]
I may or may not unpack the missed days. I have been stretched by this reading plan but on we move! Could there be any better verse in scripture than 11:1 that should be uttered by me to start every conversation or at least every message on a Sunday, “I hope you will put up with [ READ MORE ]
Here we go: One of the most common phrases out of my mouth is I’m tried. I expend a lot of energy and I go as hard as I can as often as I can but that leaves me dependent on coffee which eventually leads me to a crash. Throughout scripture there is the command of [ READ MORE ]
If you have stuck with the reading plan can I just say way to go! We are starting our 10th book of the year today. The writer says that in the old days God spoke through prophets but now he speaks through His son. I then ask the question is the last days the days of [ READ MORE ]
