Prophecy; November 2, 2024
Isaiah 42:9 “See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare;before they spring into being I announce them to you.” This chapter is certifiably Messianic, because Matthew quoted it about Jesus in Matthew 12:20. There are Messianic prophecies throughout the Old … Continue reading

God’s Music; November 1, 2024

Conformity; October 29, 2024

Truth; October 28, 2024
Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,who put darkness for light and light for darkness,who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. It’s interesting how much more compact this verse is, written out in Japanese versus English, because … Continue reading

Aging; October 25, 2024
Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth,before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”— The first part of this is excellent advice, but everything that follows, all the way … Continue reading
