A Person of Faith Explains “Dark Matter”
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Grapevine, Texas) Along with being a devout follower of Jesus Christ and committed to proclaiming and teaching His word, I have a deep interest in science, particularly astronomy. I have, therefore, read with interest recent articles about the discoveries of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes. One area that has caught my attention is what astronomers are calling “Dark Matter.” Simply speaking, Dark Matter is an unseen force that is holding the universe together. It cannot be seen, and astronomers don’t know what it is, but they say it is keeping the universe from flying apart. For […]
Wandering the Wilderness in Faith
(Copyright) by John W. Ritenbaugh (Lancaster, South Carolina) By the time the children of Israel reached the banks of the Jordan River, the older generation whom God had freed from slavery in Egypt had died in the wilderness. The story of their journey through the wilderness shows that they never overcame their slave mentality, the mindset they brought with them from Egypt. Their thinking—and thus their attitudes and conduct—constantly reverted to the way their bondage in Egypt had molded it. Despite witnessing awesome miracles, enduring terrible plagues that demonstrated God’s mercy on them and His punishment of the Egyptians, living “under the […]
Faith
(Copyright) by David Rives (Lewisburg, Tennessee) This is real…they both require faithHere at David Rives Ministries, we talk a lot about Genesis and how easy it is to read and understand the first book of the Bible. Now, Christians have many different ways that they look at Genesis and a part of our ministry is encouraging them that we don’t have to relegate Genesis to mere fable, myth, or allegory. Genesis was written as literal history! The history of our Universe’s origins, the Bereshit, the beginning. But why do we bother spending so much time discussing this topic? Why is […]
Whose Faith Does The Healing?
(Copyright) by Nathaniel Burson (Big Sandy, Texas) When someone is healed, whose faith is responsible? The person praying, or the person being prayed for? The healer, or the healed? Whose faith is important? And why does James say to seek the elders of the church and be anointed? There IS a simple answer! One that makes sense of ALL of the healings in scripture! Mark 5:25-34 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When […]
Lessons from a Prophetic Movement that Shipwrecked the Faith
(Copyright) by Eddie Hyatt (Tulsa, Oklahoma) Winston Churchill once said, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” This is true of the church, which seems to repeat the same mistakes generation after generation, especially in the area of the prophetic. Much of the turmoil surrounding the failed Trump prophecies could have been avoided if the modern charismatic church had learned, not only from Scripture, but also from history. There have been numerous prophetic movements in history whose experiences offer invaluable lessons for the church today. One of those movements is Mormonism, which emerged out of the Second […]
Signs and Wonders or God’s Righteousness Being Exercised in Faith?
(Copyright) by Steven Blackledge (Sonora, California) Ensuring that our faith is not shaken during these precarious times we are living in is based on our reliance upon the Spirit of God as individual believers… Understanding our relationship with our Father in heaven through our Lord Jesus Christ is priority as HE WHO is not seen is as far greater stronghold than anyone, and thing of the creation… As scripture reminds us, we should not be moved as we experience what our Savior declared would be “the beginning of sorrows.”… God is love, and WHO HE is must be our strength, […]
Have Faith as a Child
Sent by Rich Daniels (Shawano, Wisconsin) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:20 Does this count? It doesn’t matter how many people you send this to, just remember if it made you smile, your friends will smile too.
