How to Share Your Faith
I am pondering the value of the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. You may have never been taught how to share the gospel. This is one way to do it. In fact, I started my Christian life by sharing the gospel using what came to be called simply “the...
The Wolf Spider’s Brood
How did God react to the wolf spider building a kingdom of cities and the tower? “Come, let Us go down and confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech” (Gen. 11:7). He forced the nations to spread out by changing their languages so they...
The Beginning of Paganism
I call Nimrod the wolf spider because the old spider (Satan) used him to introduce paganism to the world. Paganism is having an inordinate passionate relationship (a love affair) with God’s creation, at the expense of the invisible Creator. God tells us to enjoy His...
“Let Us Build for Ourselves a City”
The family of Noah became seventy nations and began to refill the earth. I am abruptly changing metaphors. I called Satan in our last post – the wolf spider. He now becomes “the old spider.” This old spider’s webs of deceit continued and flourished through a man named...
The Deception of the Angel of Light
We left our pondering posts with the possibility that God is closing the window of freedom in America. I say possibility because we do not know the future. In fact, God may be opening an even larger window. I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet (Amos 7:14). It...
Japheth is Still Dwelling in the Tents of Shem
YHWH is the living God, and He is the Divine Architect of all human history. In fact, He declared the way history will end, from the very beginning (Isa. 46:8-10). Let’s connect some dots today. Noah’s prophetic glimpse of “Blessed be the LORD God of Shem” points to...
Israel’s Promise of some Real Estate
Noah’s prophecy concerning the LORD God of Shem is tied to a physical seed, the Jews, and a physical land, the land of Palestine. Many sincere believers today want to disassociate the Jews from this land saying that the land promised by God is spiritual in nature....
A Little History Lesson
Having caught a mountain top glimpse of the amazing earthly kingdom of the God-Man (Zech 14:9), we are ready for a history lesson. As mentioned earlier, the future kingdom began with Noah’s prophecy concerning Shem and Japheth (Gen. 9:25-29) and God’s promise to...
The View from the Top
In order to trace the footprints leading to God’s coming King and His kingdom, we need once more to catch a glimpse of the view from the top. The Lord Jesus said it in His model prayer. “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt. 6:10)....
Our Great Hope!
It is time to start pondering from the Ponderosa once again. Strange phenomena are occurring in the fog created by this bizarre Covid pandemic. One heartbeat quickening observation is of a political nature. I have made it my plan never to mix politics with God’s...
Satan’s Religious Snare
Jesus’ final word from the cross was “tetelestai” and it should be the final word (Jn.19:30). It is translated into the English “It is finished.” These words ring just as fresh, sweet, and glorious today, as when they were spoken. God’s penalty for sin has been once...
The Seed Spreads
What is not repeated will soon be forgotten. It is time for a little theological mucilage: repetition. When God gave His eternal word to the human race, each word was guarded and guided by the Holy Spirit as it passed through the minds of sinful men down through their...
