It cannot be coincidental that the Five-Fold Ministry of the New Testament is paralleled by a five-fold Satanic opposition. Nor is it by chance that the same five-fold pattern existed between ancient Israel and her enemies. This similarity of warfare in the Old and New...

Since our Nation’s establishment--the Revolution in 1776 and the ratifying of the Constitution in 1787--a shift has occurred in American political attitude that is totally alien to our Founding Fathers. The noble perspective our ancestors held and which separates them...

Looking at a map of New York City, you will see thousands of roads, tunnels, bridges, and be astounded at the engineering skill that designed and keeps it functioning.  Using a microscope, do the same with a piece of fingernail, hair, skin, and draw back in astonishmen...

In ancient Israel, sheep herding was a vital part of life. During the day, it was easy for the shepherd to see a wolf and protect the flock. Nighttime was a different story; when darkness fell, the shepherd was powerless. Not so with his dog. Even in the dark, when he...

I meet Christians who excel in their love for God but in the area of discernment and detecting Satan’s devices they remain easy prey to powers of darkness. Though these are sincere believers they are virtually defenseless in protecting themselves from deception and dec...
