10/08/19 In Psalm 60, the Psalmist describes the totality of God’s victory over Israel’s foes, proclaiming “Moab is my wash basin; upon Edom I cast my sandal.” This is only one of more than 100 mentions of Edom in the Old Testament. The Edomites were descendants from Esau, Jacob’s older brother. The Genesis account of the troubled twins describes Esau as red all over when he was born. Esau, you might remember, sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of red stew. Edom means “red” in Hebrew; thus, Esau’s descendants came to be known as Edomites. Over the years, [More]

We dream of waking up next to someone we love every morning, watching our kids grow up healthy, and balanced enough to make the right decisions on their own, paying off the mortgage, and still being able to climb a flight of stairs at fifty.   We do not dream of conquest and power, we do not dream of control and ruling with an iron fist, our dreams are simple, and that’s [More]

 10/02/19 Oct. 1, 2019, marks the 70th anniversary of the brutal, Communist takeover of China.   Friday night, I received an anguished phone call, begging me to write about the state of the Christian Church in China. The caller (whose name or location I cannot divulge for her protection) was an attorney in China who had worked within Chinese court system. When she became a Christian, however, she realized that she could not compromise her faith and join the officially atheistic Communist Party, as all judges are expected to do in China.   She explained that three major house churches [More]

10/01/19   One of the more notable takeaways of the 2019 World Watch List is the rise in rank of China. In 2018, the county was ranked at No. 43, suggesting that, while there were certainly isolated examples of persecution against Christians, believers could mostly worship freely.   This year, China is ranked at No. 27. The 2019 rise in China’s persecution score mark’s the country’s highest-ever spike on the list, reflecting a tightening of religious belief that impacts Chinese Christians in every part of society.   How did this happen? What has changed in the last year that has [More]

09/30/19   Today, October 1, 2019, marks the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. It’s a significant milestone for a country that has come a long way since the darkest days of post-World War II reconstruction and Cultural Revolution. China is now a global superpower, home to incredible ingenuity, incredible cultural exports and an economy that impacts the world.   It’s also home to nearly 100 million Christians.   For years, observers around the world have been stunned by the rapid rise of the underground Christian church in China. There are an estimated 97 million Christians in China, [More]

Human beings are naturally social creatures. We crave deep connections with others who share our interests and beliefs. But according to a Cigna’s U.S. Loneliness Index, nearly half of American report sometimes or always feeling alone. A quarter of those polled reported rarely or never feeling as though there are people that understand them, while a fifth said they rarely or never feel close to people.   Although forming close relationships sometimes requires time, there are a few simple ways to make friends and begin to build your network of support.   Read More: 9 Simple Ways to Make Friends [More]

We read the Bible and wonder why our prayers don’t get answered like the people we read about in Scripture. Elijah called down fire from heaven. Hezekiah rose from his deathbed. Paul raised Eutychus from the dead. Man, if only…   But not every prayer was answered. The Bible itself makes that clear. Here are four questions to ask yourself if your prayers aren’t being answered.   Read More: 4 Questions to Ask if Your Prayers Aren’t Answered | Guideposts

It was one of those perfect New York autumn mornings—blue skies, a crisp breeze. A day when I felt lucky to live in the city. I was on my way out of my East Side apartment when the doorman waved his hand to stop me.   “A plane just hit the World Trade Center,” he said.   An image of John F. Kennedy, Jr., shot through my mind. He had just crashed his private plane into the Atlantic Ocean in the summer of 1999. These private-plane owners really don’t know what they’re doing, I thought as the doorman pushed open the [More]

I found my usual empty seat on the school bus and stared out the window at all the other high schoolers milling about, saying goodbye to their friends. Everybody seemed to have somebody. Except me. I didn’t have any friends. No matter how hard I prayed for one. The driver pulled the door closed.   I felt someone plop down in the seat beside me. A boy had his hand out for me to shake. “Hey!” he said. “My name’s Jack. I’m new. Mind if I sit here?” I looked around to see if this happy guy was making a [More]

09/24/19   “Timely post by Michael on how to be at peace in this increasingly stressful world.”  Admin   If I were conspiratorial in nature I would conclude that everything is purposefully engineered to keep people anxious, afraid, scattered, joyless, and on edge. There are only so many things that can occur sequentially one can wave off as coincidence before they have to admit to themselves that there is focused intent behind what is occurring.   If you woke up one morning and found your car tires slashed, you could shrug it off, change your tire, and get on with [More]

09/24/19   Earlier this month, South Bend, IN, Mayor and presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg quoted the Bible in an attempt to speak to the question of abortion: “There are a lot of parts of the Bible that talk about how life begins with breath, and so even that is something that we can interpret differently.”   If we applied the Bible in the way Mayor Pete suggests, abortion would be justified up until birth, a position now firmly embedded and championed across the Democratic Party.   One of the ways Mayor Pete has distinguished his candidacy from all of the [More]

09/18/19   “Daddy, why do people throw stones at us?” Hassan* asks his father. He is a five year old boy in North Africa. “Why don’t the people like us, what have we done wrong?” Hassan’s father took him home after they were pelted with rocks. His father had to explain that they are hated because they follow Jesus. Hassan probably doesn’t know that he is one of millions of Christians who experience persecution simply because they claim the name of Christ. But his simple question, in the framing of a five year old mind, is the one everyone asks: [More]

08/28/19   “A fundamental change is going on in attitudes and values which will eventually make the America many of us grew up in a relic of the past. The younger generation is far less religious than those of my generation so an increasingly Godless America is on its way.” Admin   Americans say patriotism, religion, and having children are less important to them today than they did 20 years ago, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey.   The poll found that “strong majorities” of Americans 21-years-ago said the principles of hard work, patriotism, commitment to religion, [More]

08/25/19   “Some good commentary on todays America from Michael. You can read more of his blog posts here: http://proofthebibleistrue.com/michael-boldea-jrs-30-latest-blog-posts-always-a-good-read/”  Admin   Recently the governor of Illinois signed a bill into law mandating that public schools now teach homosexual history. As one can expect from a jelly-spine church still suffering from the meat sweats due to the last successful potluck, there has been very little pushback or uproar.   It is a foregone conclusion that this faux history will be painted in the best possible light, and by the time they’re done putting together the curriculum, it was someone in [More]

There’s no way of justifying what I did that terrible evening in June 1982, but at the time I felt I had hit an all-time low. I had been rejected time after time. I had lost my job, then my townhouse. I had been forced to go on food stamps and to move in with my boyfriend to give my three children a roof over their heads. Then it got worse. My boyfriend was selling drugs, and I soon became addicted to cocaine. All of his money went for drugs; all I had for my family were food stamps.   [More]

I couldn’t wait to get into the ocean. My sister, Peggy, and I ran ahead of our parents, dashing up the Clark Street ramp to the boardwalk. We threaded through the crowd, bumping into the adults, craning our necks to see the beach through their legs and knees.   “Slow down, Marie,” Daddy shouted. He set up the big beach umbrella while my mother, aunt and grandmother spread out on the baking sand. I stripped off my shorts and sandals and followed Peggy into the water. It rushed up over my bare feet. “Catch me!” Peggy shouted, splashing me. I [More]

08/13/19   A family in a rural part of India has just lost their father—brutally murdered because of his faith in Jesus. It’s your job to go and comfort the family. How will you reach them safely? When you get there, what do you say to them? What actions will you take to show them they’re not alone? How will you be there for them?   For Abhishek*, an Open Doors local partner in India, this is the kind of hard situation and difficult questions he deals with every day. He is literally our hands and feet in India—your hands [More]

08/13/19   Archaeologists excavating Mount Zion in Jerusalem have discovered evidence of the Babylonian conquest of the city, as accounted for in the Bible.   Researchers from the University of North Carolina retrieved ash deposits, arrowheads and broken pieces of pots and lamps at the site. But that wasn’t the most important item — they also uncovered an item of jewelry which was popular among the “elites.” This tiny detail, they say, confirms the Biblical narrative of Jerusalem’s wealth prior to the conquest in 587-586 BC.   Read More: Archaeologists in Jerusalem Discover Compelling Evidence of Historic Biblical Conquest – [More]

07/30/19   “A young journalism intern shares her experience of working in DC and how it tested her faith to say the least.”  Admin   My journalism internship in Washington D.C. this summer has been one of the most exciting and educational times of my young life so far.   But I learned more than I bargained for.   In addition to training on how to write on deadline and cover Congressional hearings I’ve also experienced first hand the spiritual battle underway in this country.   I’ve known of this battle, but I’ve long enjoyed the safety and serenity and [More]

Apologetics Forum of Snohomish County Streamed live on Jun 28, 2019   According to a writer for the New York Times, “If ‘On the Origin of Species’ was biology’s deadliest blow to supernaturalism, we may come to see ‘A Universe From Nothing’ as the equivalent from cosmology.” NY-Times 03/23/12. With that being the case, let’s take a critical look at the information and see if it stands up to scrutiny. In this talk we will critique the video that was made for Dr. L.M. Krauss’s book tour with Dr. R. Dawkins. The goal is for you to make an informed [More]
