This book has been updated to using only the King James Version of the Bible. The original material for this book was written in December 2019 & January 2020, prior to the removal of normalcy from the world, of which I am thankful for that. With such a distraction that COVID-19 has become in our daily lives, I pondered the timing of the book back when it was published in January 2020. Certainly I would not have wanted the book to become skewed with thoughts of the current situation on my mind. In October of 2020 a bonus chapter was written and added to the ministry’s website (...

The tried and tested 'On This Day in History' format has elevated the stories of many people and their impact on the wider world. However, of those considered noteworthy by the Establishment, just a fraction are women. But this is not the whole story - not by half. Our past is full of influential women many of whom have been unfairly confined to the margins of history. Politicians, troublemakers, explorers, artists, writers, scientists and even the odd murderer; these women have shaped society around the globe.

Bruce Miller debunks the idea of balance - basically trying to have it all, all the time. Most churches and their pastors try to do everything at once and feel guilty if any one aspect (worship, ministries, outreach, etc.) is neglected. He replaces the exhausting concept of balance with the idea of rhythm: churches, like people, need to give attention to different programs and ministries at different times, basically by attending to their seasons and cycles.

It is often said that there is no book read less and misunderstood more than the book of Revelation. Yet, no book is more appropriate or of greater depth and vision for today than Revelation of Jesus Christ. Several commentators have observed that Genesis and Revelation are capstones or bookends to God's Word. Many themes and subjects that begin in Genesis come to fruition in Revelation. God created the heavens and the earth in Genesis; in Revelation, they are destroyed. Sin and death are introduced in Genesis; they, too, meet their doom in Revelation. The same is true of man, Satan, pain, ...

Since the earliest days of the Church, the faithful have sought divine assistance through the use of the litany, which is an alternating form of prayer. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Marian litany originally approved in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V.

Thirteen titles are derived from the Old Testament, followed by four calling on her as helper and advocate. The last 13 name Mary as Queen.

In chapter 24 of Matthew’s Gospel we are told that when Jesus returns to call His church away, things here on earth will be just like they were during the days of Noah. You ask, “How were things”? Well… people were eating and drinking and going about ‘business as usual’. Crime was high, violence filled the land, and people were greedy. There were wars, famines, pandemics, and earthquakes. Does that seem to resemble today, or what? Is a trumpet about to sound? You decide.

In a day of religious controversy, no one is so useful to his generation as the man who contributes a little “light.” Amidst the din and strife of ecclesiastical warfare, amidst the fog and dust stirred up by excited disputants, amidst assertions and counter-assertions, a thinking man will often cry with the dying philosopher,—“I want more light: give me more light.” He that can make two ears of corn grow where one grew before, has been rightly called a benefactor to mankind. He that can throw a few rays of fresh light on the theological questions of the day, is surely doing a ...

An insightful study of the end times and the current conditions of the church.

Paul knew his future of arrest and eventual martyrdom, and knew more trouble was coming to the Church. As Gnostic false prophets were already active in the Church bringing in their doctrines of the demons. Also, Paul was already exposing the presence of false apostles who were bringing into the Church what Paul identified as another Jesus, by another Gospel, by a false Holy Spirit. All those situations were already happening, now Paul is going to his own death at the hands of Rome. With Pauls departure he warns of corruption from within the Church coming from the Church leaders themselves ...
