About "The Mark of the Beast"
What does "the mark of the beast" and 666 mean? The last few verses of Revelation 13 speak about a certain "mark" which man would receive on his right hand or forehead. This "mark," as well as the number 666, has caused no small stir among those...
Fornication
FORNICATION: Pejorative images of Bible-thumping deviates jump to mind. When did we become so ignorant as to regard natural healthy sexual contact as a 'sin'? Who benefits? Did the patriarchs and harem masters want all the women for themself?...
God in America RIP
God in America, R.I.P One of the great mysteries that’s plagued me is the existence of “God”. I admit to referencing God in my columns and sometime praying to a higher power for guidance when the path before me is unclear and clouded. But still, I...
God's Church must warn the world!
God's Church has been charged to get the Word out to all the world and make disciples (students) within every nation, teaching them to follow Yashua's (Jesus') teachings. What did Yashua teach? Yashua boldly proclaimed the good news of the Kingdom...

From Orphans to Royalty
The first time I read Ezekiel 16, I cried all the way through it. It's a story of God's heart, as a betrayed husband; with every jealousy, hurt, rage, or emotion felt by humans.
Yet, whenever we're hurting, few consider if they're doing the same things to God. Whether spiritually, literally, or both … perhaps each of us have once been such a person who betrayed God.
Just as dust returns to dust, blood returns to blood (vs. 22, 36), "till the pride of man be broken (vs.15) and we're ready to accept God's way (vs. 55) - whatever that may be. And, just when you see your blood for what it is and you're ready to accept the punishment you know you deserve, God reaches down and loves you in ways you never dream; restoring you to a better position than you ever had before (vs. 60-63).
Once an atonement is received (unlawful/a shame to never speak of again), you'll never forget the awesome love of God
throughout all eternity. "He loves me! He really, really loves ME!" A love like that, we never ever want to betray, again. It breaks our heart to break His. We finally begin serving God for who He is and we learn to love like He does, letting Him live through us.

Without God, spiritually, we're like orphans left on a doorstep. With Him, we're royalty from the inside out. The devil lies. There is nothing between.
