oming Feast of Trumpets our minds are undoubtedly focused on the return of Christ. While teaching the disciples Christ instructed them in how to pray. After acknowledging and venerating the Father, the very next item was to pray for the Father’s Kingdom to come. We are to look for and anticipate the return of Christ…

ed away among all the increasingly shocking events taking place in the world, are reports documenting human trafficking. Perhaps these reports are overshadowed by the immense volume of refugees moving out of the Middle East and North Africa into and across Europe. Human Trafficking is a modern term for slavery. It is something that is…

In quick succession we will observe four Holy Days, each with a particular meaning associated with Christ’s return and the establishment of God’s Kingdom. These are days of anticipation.

news of recent weeks has been very revealing both here in the U.S. and abroad. It reveals a human mindset that is becoming increasingly sinister and depraved by the day. We’ve witnessed the legalization of homosexual marriage and its fall out – government-enforced penalties on those not accepting of this perversion. We’ve seen and heard…
