Two different readers, while vacationing here in S. Florida, have paid me a visit recently. One was Norman R., and the other was Joe K., both of whom claim to be readers of my articles and Rapture Ready. We met at the Cracker Barrel restaurant here in Naples at different times a week apart, and […]

In Acts 2:3, the Holy Spirit came what seemed to be tongues of fire:
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came
to rest on each of them.
This observable phenomenon only mentioned once in Acts. Subsequently, all …
As the spirit of the antichrist gains more strength in our world each and every day, it helps to remember what Jesus said about the one behind it, the devil himself.

Chapter 10:32-39 “But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; 34 for you had compassion on me in my chains, […]
