Psalm 136

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.
Psalm 134

Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD. May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.
Why Pray For Things That Will Happen Anyway?
Posted September 21st, 2009 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. If the Bible is already prophesied, and what it says will be, what good will it do us to pray for Israel’s peace and safety? Shouldn’t we just be praying for Gods will to be done? Everything the Bible says that is supposed to happen is happening now. How can our payers stop it or postpone it. Truthfully I don’t want it to, I’m looking for the Rapture every day.
The Fall Feasts of Israel
Posted September 18th, 2009 in Holidays and Holy Days
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
(At sunset on Sept. 18, 2009 Israel began year 5770 on the Hebrew Calendar. As I often do with articles that commemorate annual events, I have updated this study on the Fall Feasts and added new information for your review. As you can see, I’m also posting it a day early to coincide with the start of Rosh Hashanah.)
The fall is arguably the most important time of the year in Judaism. Three of Israel’s holiest days are celebrated then, and all in the space of 15 days. They are Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, followed 10 days later by Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, and 5 days after that the week long Feast of Tabernacles. On our calendar they usually fall (no pun intended) some time between mid September and early October due to the differences between the Jewish (lunar) calendar and the western (solar) one.
Each of these holy days has both historical and prophetic significance, the prophetic fulfillment to occur on the day itself. Therefore Christians study them for glimpses into the future as well as to gain a better understanding of Jewish culture. Read Post »
Should We Pray For The Rapture?
Posted August 5th, 2009 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. Does it make sense to pray for a soon -possibly the soonest- rapture? I mean, can we influence with our prayer the timing of the rapture? I know that it is based on the number of the people who get saved and will be part of the church and I know that God knows all these persons. So, does a kind of request to the Lord make sense, if we pray for that regularly and ask Him to speed up things with these people and all the necessary processes too? Will He speed up things and a much sooner rapture is possible if we pray for it?
Christian Duty Vs. Modern Medicine
Posted July 31st, 2009 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. You have been good to answer so many of my questions. I have been involved with a kind man who has been renting a cabin on my land. Of late he has lost his job due to his boss dying. His mental state has been very odd and he seems to have delusions as to some things that happened in the military. How does God want us to deal with this kind of thing?
Psalm 120
Posted July 7th, 2009 in Bread From Heaven
I call on the LORD in my distress, and he answers me. Save me, O LORD, from lying lips and from deceitful tongues. What will he do to you, and what more besides, O deceitful tongue? He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows, with burning coals of the broom tree. Woe to me that I dwell in Meshech, that I live among the tents of Kedar! Too long have I lived among those who hate peace. I am a man of peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
Double Mindedness
Posted July 4th, 2009 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I read a christian’s comment on something in a blog. She said “Don’t be double minded or the Bible says you won’t receive anything.” I know this bible verse and it always confuses me, mostly I find it very distressing. Does this mean that we have to maintain unfluctuating faith without any fearful thought, doubt or negative imagination? Most times these things attack very easily my mind. Am I in danger that the Lord will not help me or grant a promise if my faith is fluctuating? Do these above mentioned characteristics mean double mindedness? And does unwavering faith mean the lack of these characteristics?

Confirming God’s Answers
Posted June 5th, 2009 in Ask a Bible Teacher
Q. I hope all is well and I have yet another question. And to keep it short and simple, who is right when two (or more) christians disagree about something and everybody is using and/or saying “I’ve prayed about it, God confirmed it, etc.”. Or better yet, what did the disciples/apostles do when they disagreed. And the ironic thing is, is that it’s typically church leadership disagreeing with an “unknown” laymen church goer, who I believe is right.
