Revelation: Jesus Will Conquer the Beasts in Your Life

When you hear the word “beast” what comes to mind? The definition of beast is: a) any nonhuman animal, b) the crude animal nature common to humans and the lower animals. One of my first dates at Andrews University was with a girl who expected me to open the car door for her every time [...]

Little Scroll, BIG Message!

As I consider the relevance of Revelation 10 in my life today, there are two aspects of the chapter that really catch my attention. The first is the fact that we are dealing with a “little scroll.” It may be tempting to think that it’s not as important as a bigger scroll. After all, a [...]

Living God’s Vision

I wanted to take Pam to NYC for an anniversary trip.  I looked at maps of Manhattan, pictures of hotels, and read multiple reviews before booking an interesting “art deco” hotel close to Broadway & Times Square.  I was so excited for us to spend a few days in the heart of Manhattan & take [...]
