Burn The Ropes!
The Book of Daniel is without a doubt the prophetic key to Book of Revelation and all that it contains. And for that reason alone many study it in minute detail in an effort to discern the future that awaits the world. But at the same time they overlook the keys to what what we… Read more

It Takes A Little Rain
As many of you know, my truck radio has only two stations; country and western. Well, the other morning I was listening to one of my favorite groups, the Oak Ridge Boys, and the song they were singing reminded me of what I have been reading in my study of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. I… Read more

It’s Not The Thought – It’s What You Do With It
Have you ever had a deliveryman come to your door with a package you didn’t order and ask you to sign for it? Heb 4:15 For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.… Read more

I Love The Storm
It was getting late in the afternoon and the clouds were slowly moving in over the mountains. They weren’t the usual puffy white variety; these guys were dark and ominous. I should have listened to that little voice down inside that was gently urging me to get off the lake and back to camp. The… Read more
