Recently I watched a film titled, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" . The film takes place during World War 2 in Nazi Germany. It centers around a young German boy named Bruno who is forced to move from his home in Berlin to a new house in Poland. This move is due to his father's promotion from an SS officer to commandment. Bruno is eight years old and completely unaware of the current affairs of the world, the only thing on his mind is being an explorer. When Bruno arrives at his new home he is saddened that there are no children nearby to play with. From his bedroom window he spots what he thinks is a farm a few miles from his house. He also notices children at this farm, who despite being strange because they wear pajamas all day, he desires to play with. Initially his mother does not see any reason why it wouldn't be okay to play with the children at the farm. However she objects when one of the "farmers" brings vegetables  into the kitchen and Bruno as...

Last week I took a drive to the Kensington Heights area in San Diego California. Located near the end of a cul-de-sac is a beautiful home that is over 5,000 square feet. This home was built in 1929 by the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, the Jehovah's Witnesses organization. The purpose of building the home is one different than the reason given today by the Watchtower Society. In the early twenties the Watchtower Society taught that Abraham. Isaac, Jacob, and the Old Testament prophets would come back in 1925 and rule as princes and live in Beth Sarim. Read for yourself: "At San Diego, California, there is a small piece of land, on which, in the year 1929, there was built a house, which is called and known as Beth-Sarim. The Hebrew words Beth Sarim mean "House of the Princes"; and the purpose of acquiring that property and building the house was that there might be some tangible proof that there are those on earth today who fully believe God and Christ Jesu...

While I was at work today, I looked out the window and two Jehovah's Witness women were walking by. Last week I had talked to two other Jehovah's Witness young women in the same spot. I asked a question about Jesus' Resurrection. The young girl (Alex) did not know how to answer my question, I gave her my number and she said she would research it and get back to me. She hasn't so far. A week prior I asked the same question to a group of JW's, I gave one, my number and address and she said she would call and visit me. She hasn't so far either. It seems my past is catching up with me. A little over a year ago two Jehovah's Witnesses came by. Maricela and Zari. Maricela came every week for several months and always brought someone different with her. I knew Zari, she had worked at my cat's vet. Maricela grew up as a JW. I spent the next few months asking them questions. Until one day Maricela brought an older women. This woman Cindy, wouldn't let me ge...

This Morning I was in line at a local grocery store. I always plan on giving the cashier a gospel tract. I noticed that the cashier was wearing a gold cross necklace. A thought came into my head, "She doesn't need a tract, she's wearing a cross." I told her that I liked her necklace, she said thank you. Then, I asked her "What does it mean?" She paused and said that she didn't know, it was a gift from her son. I handed her a gospel tract and told her that it would tell her what it stands for.  Just because someone wears a cross, does not mean that they are a Christian. I am glad I asked her what did the cross mean. I am hoping she will think about it today and read the tract I gave her. Hopefully, the Holy Spirit will open her eyes and understanding. Tracts are a great way to share your faith.  Witnessing to someone does not require a degree from Biola University. Go out today, hand out a tract, talk to someone, be a witness for Jesus Christ. ...

God’s Word has been under attack by Satan since the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). As, Christians we know that God’s word is powerful (1 Thess 1:5), perfect (2 Tim 3:16-17) and unchanging (Psalm 119:89). But do we really believe and trust it? Psalm 11:3 reads “When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The Gospel is the most powerful message one can hear and receive. However, the message of the Gospel did not begin in the New Testament but the book of Genesis. Genesis is the foundation to the Gospel, as well as the rest of the Bible. In fact, the greatest Bible teacher, Jesus himself began in Genesis when He spoke with His disciples on the way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-27). “Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in the Scriptures.” Luke 24:27 NASB This is very significant. Many Christians today have rejected Genesis 1-11 as recorded history. Some view it as mythology, allegorical, anything but lite...
