    You may have observed the additional security being provided by the government for those who are in high positions, especially if there is a threat to their life. However, as children of God we need to be reminded that our protection comes not from men, but from God Himself.

    Under Angelic Protection We read in Psalm 91:11, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” (ESV) Psalm 91 in its entirety portrays most vividly the protection of God that is available to all those who take refuge in God and make Him their dwelling place.

    No one thought Jerusalem would be defeated – that was what the world thought! Religious society was so evil. We look at corruption in our western world, from governments to people. The world will worsen and judgement is coming very quickly. Australia and the United States.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 34 – THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENED AND CORRUPTION EVERYWHERE - CHAPTER 4:12-13 In our last message we looked at a whole lot of misery for the survivors of the Babylonian holocaust.

    At the spring 2000 opening of the Florida Senate, Donald L. Roberts, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries, offered a prayer. I think you’ll appreciate the candor of it.

    Our times of terror are like those into which Jesus was born. Then and now we try to carve out peace with government, wealth, ingenuity. But Jesus is the source of peace because His life was given to service, His dependence on things was nil, and He ope

    And on earth, peace. What an ancient longing! What a long-standing frustration! On earth, peace.
