We ended Part III with a question: what does all this have to do with believers today? While it’s fair, the question itself needs some rephrasing. Genesis 1:14-15 states the ongoing function—the purpose—of the heavenly bodies. A stated purpose given no indication of an expiration date. With this in mind, the better way to put the above question…

Who looks at the sky to understand the signs of the times anymore? Answer: a lot of people, actually. Astrologers are alive and well. Astronomers are plentiful. But Astro-theologians? Few and far between, I’m afraid. I suppose that’s due to the blurred lines that still exist between “Astral” and “Astro” (see: Part I), as well as the scientific elitism..

Introduction: She was married to her era but divorced from its restraints. She passionately wrote of politics when women, without the use of pseudonyms, only ventured to express thoughts of relationships, childbearing, and of house and home.

In this glorious modern age, people seem all too eager to jump into things. From relationships and marriages, to credit cards and bank loans—even signing up for a phone plan just to have the latest and greatest smartphone on the market. Now more than at any other point in recorded history, people seem to be

Hardware versus Software When there are isolated malfunctions and separate errors in a system, it is generally the individual component, mechanism, and/or device—a.k.a. the hardware—that is evaluated and either repaired, replaced, or recycled. However, when there are malfunctions and errors that are widespread, occurring frequently in a large number of components, mechanisms, and/or devices (the

While sitting with the Lord the other evening, as I received this word entitled “The Warfare Of My Daughters”, I heard Him say, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay!”, quoted in Duet. 32:35, and also from a few New Testament scriptures. We, as God’s children, are told that the Lord will bring vindication and that we’re not to seek vengeance ourselves…

Prologue I\’d be remiss to not address the events that have transpired in recent weeks. What with the RNC and DNC Conventions coming and going, candidates dropping out of the presidential race—only to find themselves as part of another campaign—as well as remarks (both past and present) made by said candidates, it all seems
