Posted on September 17, 2026 by Pete

Posted on September 11, 2026 by Pete

Set Forth Your Case

Posted on September 9, 2026 by Pete

Bring it, says the LORD of Hosts, “bring your proofs.” Show your stuff. Convince me why manmade idols are better than the living God. Such is the challenge that closes Isaiah 41. In Isaiah 40, the glory of the LORD … Continue reading →

We Wait (2016 Remix)

Posted on September 8, 2025 by Pete

So often what gets me wrapped around the axle with prophecy is trying to lock down the “when.” When will that happen? In ancient Israel’s day? During Christ’s first advent? At His second advent? Presently, during this now but not … Continue reading →
