Proof The Bible Is True

10/28/21 “The smallest things, at certain times, can mean the most.” Admin Our family moved to Orange, Texas, in 1976, when my husband, Jerry, got a job in a refinery as a pipe-fitter and welder. We left Dallas and moved into a small mobile home. When the job in Orange ended, we waited for the union to find Jerry more work. Months went by. Rent was due on the mobile home, and so were the payments on our home back in Dallas, to which we knew we’d eventually return.   At least we’ll have a nice dinner, I thought as I [More]

 10/21/21   Who can forget the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid? The United States men’s hockey team, made up of unpaid college kids, beat the heavily favored Soviet Union’s team, made up of professionals labeled as amateurs, in a thrilling final 4-3.   Americans were glued to their seats, watching on TV and cheering the young men who were facing the greatest challenge of their playing careers. The win is still considered one of the biggest upsets in sports history and garnered the team a gold medal. It was called the “Miracle on Ice.”   Who doesn’t love an underdog? [More]

10/12/21   “His video appears later on in the article.” Admin Is there a “prophetic sign” in the disastrous U.S. withdrawl from Afghanistan? Is there an ancient mystery, from 9/11 to the Taliban takeover, that presents a warning to America? Those are questions messianic rabbi and author Jonathan Cahn asks in a new video message. He points to a chapter in his bestselling book “The Harbinger” called “The Isaiah 9:10 Effect,” which shows how the events of 9/11 repeated a pattern seen in ancient Israel with astonishing precision. One of nine “harbingers,” he found, was that a nation’s attempt to [More]

10/05/21   “Michael is now writing frequently once more timely blog posts commenting on what is going on in the world and the church. Below is one of his latest posts. You can check out the latest 30 of them in his RSS feed here.” Admin   Basic It’s not complicated, it really isn’t, but we won’t allow ourselves to accept the reality of it because that would mean this entire upheaval we’ve been going through has to do with nothing more profound than power. It’s not about saving lives, or keeping you safe, or anything lofty and idealistic. It’s basic, [More]

10/03/21   Nearly everyone, religious or not, knows the story of how the Ten Commandments came to be.   The biblical book of Exodus, in chapter 19, lays out the scene: Moses and the Israelites, months after being freed from captivity in Egypt, arrived in the Sinai Desert. Moses was eventually called to the top of a mountain towering over the group’s camp, where God descended with fire, smoke and lightning. After being instructed to do so, Moses then gave God’s covenants to the people of Israel.   While the Ten Commandments have survived in their entirety, the exact location of “Mount Sinai” [More]

09/27/21   Cara Whitney had a busy life in Las Vegas. The successful radio personality and author, the wife of comedian Dan Whitney, better known as ‘Larry the Cable Guy,’ was also a mom of two. But when she decided a change of scenery was in order, she moved the family to a horse farm in Nebraska. There, Cara began to explore and deepen her relationship with God.   “As I was learning about God, I was working with my animals,” she told Guideposts. “I realized I could correlate a lot of what I was trying to figure out about God with that farm [More]

05/04/21   “I can relate to this. I graduated from college with a degree in geology and was preparing to go to graduate school on an assistantship. However that summer I had a strong feeling within that this was not what I should do so I contacted the university and told them I wasn’t coming.   Shortly thereafter I saw an ad for a computer school on TV and the thought of going into the field of data processing grabbed my attention. To make a long story short, I went to that school and eventually had a long career as [More]

08/19/21 “Please remember to pray for the Christians in Afghanistan who will most likely be undergoing much persecution.” Admin Pastors across Afghanistan are asking for urgent prayers after they spent two weeks watching the country fall into the hands of Islamist terrorists.   Josh Manley, a pastor of RAK Evangelical Church in the United Arab Emirates, said numerous church leaders across the country have reached out to him in recent days. He released an urgent call for prayer Monday in a blog post for the Christian ministry group 9Marks.   “As Taliban forces have swallowed up Afghanistan and even now [More]

08/16/21 Creation Today Ministry   Millennials and Gen Z are the least churched generation in American History. At a time when we need it MOST, why are we walking away from evangelism? Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ said, “Less than 2% of Christians actively share their faith.” According to Discipleship Pathway, 55% of those who attend church have not shared with someone how to become a Christian in the past six months.” Evangelism has become the new dirty word in Christianity. Why is it getting such a bad rap? If we have the Truth, why are we [More]

06/24/21   If you’re a Christian, you already know you should be sharing your biblical faith with people of other faiths. Yet if you’re like most Christians, you lack the courage, confidence and skills to do so. That’s OK. Let’s change that.   Read More: 4 Ways You Can Start Spiritual Conversations — Charisma Magazine

06/16/21   Where all dogs are welcome, especially the ones that are broken and scared.   “This dog is not normal,” my friend and fellow veterinary technician Shannon said, studying a tiny bulldog mix puppy who’d been born at the clinic where we worked. We watched Rosalie try to find her balance. As soon as we put her on her feet, she would flip onto her back.   “Something’s definitely off,” I said. “But I’m going to figure out how to help her.”   Rosalie’s breeder thought the kindest thing would be euthanasia. No way, I thought. This eager puppy, [More]

06/16/21   “What a great idea! What if we did this once a month or week, think what a positive impact we could have.” Admin   My mom always made birthdays special. She died of cancer when I was 32. After that, I dreaded my birthday because she wasn’t here to celebrate with me. As I approached 40, I decided that I wanted to have joyful birthdays again. A friend told me that she’d read about someone who spent their birthday doing random acts of kindness. My mom would have loved that. Why not give it a try? I thought. [More]

I just finished reading two fascinating books by Kayy Gordon detailing her experience of answering God’s call to take the Gospel to the Eskimos in the Canadian Arctic in 1956 as a young 22 yr. old woman. Living in a tent with temperatures 50 degrees below zero, making long treks piloting a dog sled in blizzard like conditions, getting accustomed to the native customs, diet and language were just some of the hardships encountered. But God has been faithful to bless her ministry there which she is still involved with 60 yrs. later! Both books, Gods Fire On Ice and [More]

05/15/21   Inside Nigeria’s northeast region lies the sprawling city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State. With a population of 1 million people, the century-old city is the largest in the area.   Maiduguri has always called itself the “city of peace.”   And then, Boko Haram was born. In 2002, a radical Islamist cleric founded the group, and since then the city and surrounding areas have been the place attacked most by Boko Haram.   Now, fear roams the streets; it’s chased the peace out of the city. Now, Maiduguri is known as “the birthplace of Boko Haram.” [More]

05/14/21 Lee Joo-Chan* (now in his 50s) is one of the thousands of North Koreans who grew up in a Christian family without knowing it. If a North Korean’s faith is discovered, they–and three generations of their families–face prison, physical and mental torture and even death.  In this country (#1 for 18 consecutive years on the World Watch List), parents can’t risk telling their children about their faith–perhaps the saddest consequence of North Korea’s high “squeeze factor.” Some parents wait until the children are old enough, then let them in on the “family secret.” Others, like Lee’s parents, never feel that freedom.  [More]

05/14/21   The words of God in the Old and New Testaments remind us that our God wants to see all of His creation come to a saving knowledge and trust in Him through Jesus. And that when we seek Him and His Kingdom, we will find Him. While the holy month of Ramadan is often a month of increased pressure for Christians whose faith stands out more than usual during this time, God continues to work in peoples’ hearts and bring them to Him. During Ramadan, many Muslims will earnestly seek God through prayer and fasting and the practice of [More]

05/14/21   “A worthy cause to donate to if you feel so led.” Admin   Regular WND readers should be familiar with the name Julio Severo, the fearless and plain-spoken Brazilian Christian writer whose commitment to the defense of biblical marriage and sexuality in his home country brought the wrath of Brazil’s super-powerful LGBT bullies down upon him. But rather than compromise his faith and God’s truth, about a decade ago Julio and his wife, Sarah, fled into the jungles of a neighboring country with their young family to avoid threatened prosecution under then-pending “anti-homophobia” laws. There, literally in exile, [More]

05/13/21   Being incarcerated for your faith is one thing. But what would happen to your child if you were taken away? A mother in Iran (No. 8 on the World Watch List) shares how she prepared her daughter for the day persecution arrived at their door. I knew the day would come … the day they would knock on the door and take me and my husband to prison. Although everyone around me thought I was a housewife, I was, in fact, involved in full-time ministry. The authorities were bound to find out. We started preparing our daughter Lily* [More]

05/03/21 “You never know how something as simple as writing a letter can have a life changing impact. So if God prompts you to do something that seems simple, do it. The results may be far greater than you can imagine.” Admin I don’t remember a thing about the accident. It was April 11, 1991, and I was driving home to Montgomery from Birmingham along I–65 near Clanton. There’s a rest area there, and I’m told the tractor trailer rig was pulling out onto the highway when I ran under it in my Volvo. But as I say, I have [More]

05/01/21   Pollster George Barna, chief of research at the Cultural Research Center, has concluded that America is infected with “Moralistic Therapeutic Deism,” or for the layperson, “watered-down, feel-good, fake Christianity.”   Barna’s organization at Arizona Christian University has released a report explaining the beliefs first were identified among teens in the early 2000s, and now as adults, they still embrace them, making MTD “the most popular worldview in the United States today.” Read More: Barna: America infected with Moralistic Therapeutic Deism

04/27/21   Even people who aren’t pro wrestling types, I believe, have to tune in at some point for the silliness.   I can still remember some of the talent lineup when I was a young ‘un. There was Irwin R. Schyster, the tax collector whose initials were IRS. There was the Mountie, who was … well, a Mountie. There was Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, who would hopefully never lose his mental acuity and have to fall back on his pure athletic talent.   And then there was my favorite — the Undertaker.   Read More: Wrestling superstar ‘The Undertaker’ [More]

This a fantastic book by H.A. Baker who along with his wife had a Christian orphanage ministry in China in the early 1900’s. The children experienced a tremendous outpouring of the Holy Spirit resulting in visions of Heaven, Hell, the end times and more which are recorded in the book. You can read the book online, download it as a PDF or listen to an audio version at this link.

04/16/21 I recently updated my post “Miracle On The Howard Frankland Bridge” with some pictures of the vehicle taken after the accident at the garage where it was towed. Check it out, I’m sure you’ll find it interesting.  Admin

04/10/21   In his 22 years, Rafer Johnson has done many things and all of them extraordinarily well. His mother says of him: “We tried to teach him to walk straight, talk straight and think straight … He just naturally became good at everything…”   When his parents guided him toward church work, Rafer sang in the choir and was active in youth groups. In high school at Kingsburg, California, he captained the track, basketball and football teams, and gained stature as a power hitter on the baseball nine.   After entering University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), Rafer [More]

04/10/21 “A lesson for all of us.” Admin The call came one September morning, before I’d had my coffee. “Julie, he’s drinking again.”   Our family member had relapsed. Not for the first time. I got off the phone and felt myself slipping too. Not by drinking, but by “stinking thinking,” the distorted thought patterns that had made my life unmanageable. Overanalyzing. Obsessing. Trying to control things.   Clyde, our four-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, came into the kitchen as I poured my coffee, prancing as much as a 100-pound dog could prance. He knew it was time for a walk. [More]

04/04/21 The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most important biblical truths there is. Next to the Crucifixion, it is the most significant event in church history. It isn’t a peripheral issue; it’s foundational. It’s bedrock. It’s the bottom line. Not only does the Resurrection tell us that we will live beyond the grave, but it also tells us there is hope beyond this life. In fact, the Bible says, “Christ has been raised from the dead. He is the first of a great harvest of all who have died. So you see, just as death came into [More]

04/01/21   “Some disturbing food for thought from Michael.” Admin   If you’ve felt like the world has turned upside down and inside out, you are not alone. It’s not a dream, it’s not a nightmare, it’s not an Ambien-induced episode, and there’s no waking up from it. Unlike the cat ladies on Facebook who insist on posting the “hang in there memes,” I’m honest enough with you to tell you how it is. Not how I hoped it would be, or what the best-case scenario will look like if a thousand things happen in sequential order, akin to winning [More]
