RESURRECTION CENTER:
The best series I have ever seen on the Crucifixion and Death of Jesus Christ has to the Kyle Idleman-narrated "The Easter Experience," produced by City on a Hill.

"It was the fact of the resurrection of Christ that called the disciples to go out as burning young revolutionaries to change the world of their day. They preached that Christ was alive. This should be our message, not only at Easter but every day of the year."--Billy Graham, "The Risen Christ," Spring 2011
What's the big deal about the Resurrection? The book recommended above has tremendous things to say about THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF THE RESURRECTION for the Christian faith.

ARE YOU, FRIEND, TOO BROKEN-HEARTED TO CARE ABOUT LIFE AND CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORS ANYMORE? WELCOME TO THE CLUB, IT IS NOT THE 700 CLUB, OF COURSE, BUT IT IS A WIDE GATHERING SPREAD ACROSS THE WORLD OF ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO ARE BELIEVERS IN YESHUA AND YET WHO HAVE BEEN REJECTED BY LOVED ONES AND THOSE WHO SHOULD NOT HAVE CAST THEM ASIDE--TO THESE ONES THIS NEXT PAGE IS DEDICATED IN THE HOPE IT CAN SHED A GLIMMER OF LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS AFFLICTING THE BROKEN-HEARTED ONE AND BRING CHRIST'S TENDER HEALING TOUCH:

Our No-Profit Site: Our Policy for many years has been to never profit from anything on the site, but here is an exception, and we can expect hardly any remuneration, so we know this is not going to enrich us. In fact, whatever few copies are sold, will be encouraging to us--Ed.
The new book of poetry and devotional commentary that a Christian friend co-authored with me and is platforming on-line, can be found on Patreon, a number of book clubs, Kindle, Amazon, Facebook.
GRATITUDE TO GOD CENTER:
The severe cold and ice and much snow here in the West has made life more difficult for both man and beast and bird. But I thank the Lord for maintaining my health through it, and enabling me to keep warm enough so I can stay healthy and active. Imagine what it must be like in the winter in Ukraine. I can't! But a Holocaust survivor, very elderly, suffered the night or nights without any heat or electric after her windows were blown out by the bombs and artillery. She was taken to Germany, which is a surprising turn of events, and appreciates the very good care she is getting there, she says. The Germans are trying to make up somewhat for the German-caused Holocaust. Good for them! That is hardly the case with China or Russia or Iran or Turkey and a number of other states that have slain uncountable innocent people.
Now or never: THIS SITE IS ABOUT JESUS, YESHUA, JEHOVAH-GOD! NOBODY ELSE! If you have a problem with God, you may have come to the right place, so please hang in here and give this site a chance to offer what it has that can possibly clarify many things for you about Yeshua (his Hebrew name is preferable to us here in a Messianic Bible School). God bless you and lead you, and He surely will if you are sincerely seeking Him and want the truth. He will never turn away honest seekers!

SADDEST PICTURE OF CHRIST:
This saddest picture of a broken-hearted Christ that ever could be. It is based on the fact that Jerusalem in the 1st century rejected the Lord as the Messiah and crucified him. The world has since rejected Jesus as Savior and Lord as well, so there can be no pointing fingers at the Jews! The world has followed this up right to the present hour with intense persecution and massacres of Christians, and certain Christian state church bodies have been swinging their swords against Christian churches too.
This portrayal of a real incident, the grieving of Christ over a rejecting Jerusalem and its people, is exactly how Christ grieves today over this rejecting world and its people. Nothing has changed! Nothing! Christianity is listed as the largest religion on earth, with over two billion adherents. Really? if that were so, then the world would be utterly transformed! But do they believe in a church for salvation or Christ alone and his blood sacrifice for their sins? The mere figure given in the media is questionable, as Christ said few would accept him as Savior, and he asked, rhetorically, would he find faith on his return?

NEW OFFERING, "TWO THOUSAND YEARS IN THE PSALMS", BY DR. MARION MCHENRY HULL. ATLANTA BIBLE INSTITUTE, 1934:
We will give you the Preface by Dr. Hull, then the Table of Contents. Haven't yet determined if the book is Public Domain, as there is a book offered on Amazon for sale. My copy is probably a first edition my dad bought in 1930s as he worked briefly in a book shop in Sioux Falls and had access to books there. My copy will never be for sale as it is a treasure to me, with his name stamped on the inside. I have seen for years how valuable a work it is, and it has yet to be really appreciated, so for that reason I am keen to bring it out here if possible. I will try to contact the family, which is given in a genealogy and history on-line, for permission to republish at least some chapters. I have the book so I can at least republish the Preface and Table of Contents now. That will at least alert you all to go and see if you can get the book from Amazon. I am not sure they can supply sufficient copies, but if enough people seek to purchase it, perhaps the family, if it is still active in this way, can get it republished in paperback and hard cover copies. An e-book would be good too.--Ed.
A Fresh New Offering, the four "Patriarch Poems". Without the patriarchs there would have been no Israelites, the family and tribe that led to Jesus Christ the Messiah. How foundational the right kind of patriarchialism is! Spiritual patriarchialism gave us the Savior!

One of the Bible's most Christlike examples has to be a non-Jew, Ruth, a Moabitess who had no right in Israel, being from a land and people proscribed by God--read Deuteronomy! We have given some traditional surmises concerning her background, that may shed light on her true nobility of character, and how she differed from Orpah in that respect.

I am my neighbor's Bible,
He reads me when we meet;
Today he reads me in my home.
Tomorrow in the street.
He may be relative or friend,
He may be strange to me;
He may not even know my name,

What was called "Bible of the American Revolution"?
David Barton, Wallbuilders, identifies this valuable Bible that was instrumental in the founding of our nation and national identity as a Bible-based, Christian nation>
"Bible of the Revolution"
America's now lost Christian Consensus at its last gasp:
PRESIDENT [RONALD REAGAN] LAUDS BIBLE'S ROLE IN AMERICAN CULTURE. Washington (AP)--President Reagan says the Bible "has formed not only American culture but also the cultures of many other nations around the world." In a message for observance of national Bible Week No. 24 to Dec. 1, he said, "we sometimes forget that for most of America's history, the only book most Americans possessed was the Bible." It "formed not only our moral habits but even our language," he said, adding that it "remains far and away the most popular of all books." He said "the principles it contains are of timeless relevance and its beauty is forever discovered anew by millions of Americans."--From a Newspaper Clipping

WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE AND A NATION WITHOUT GOD? IT SINKS, JUST LIKE THIS DOOMED SHIP WITH ITS OWNER ON BOARD AND A CAPTAIN THAT IGNORED EVERY WARNING OF ICE AHEAD!
Care to hear what a native American has to say about God and how this nation can turn back to life and not be destroyed? Not all Indian people trust to religious tribal practices for salvation and hate America. This supremely vital question, which is right up there with "What must I do to be saved?" is raised by Cecilia Spotted Bear, who lives in Wounded Knee, SD., which has not turned her against America nor against the God of the Bible. Our nation has decided to go it alone, to do all its business without God--and we see the dire results, don't we? This country is a disaster. Cecelia Spotted Bear calls us back to God:
"What Happens Without God?" by Cecelia Spotted Bear, A Letter to the Editor, Wounded Knee, SD
"We the People of the United States,
in order to form a more perfect Union,
establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility,
provide for the common defense,
promote the general Welfare,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity,
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Zola Levitt Ministries offers 12 courses in the Institute of Jewish-Christian Studies. These courses are all excellent, since Zola Levitt was no small authority on the Bible and Jewish studies (and he enlisted a number of experts and authorities in Bible scholarship as well), so you may want to do most of them, or all, but the course, "Messianic Prophecy," is one in particular that you might want to do in order to satisfy an elective requirement in the Emmaus Walk. ZLM will charge you for this one course. You can find out about this Institute by going to ZLM:

A new Dietrich Bonhoeffer biography is out and attracting many readers. It is offered at Amazon.com at used book prices, which means $10-12 a copy. More about this later, soon. I would like to get a copy myself as soon as I can. I have the recently released DVD of his life and death and legacy. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was the great German patriot, Christian leader, and Christian writer who opposed Hitler from the start and until his own death by execution, ordered by Hitler, making him a martyr of the Christian faith. DVD films are also out on Bonhoeffer, and they are all good to view. Amazon.com will have them available.
This is a book of testimonies from all sorts of people who were hopelessly (it seemed) lost but were saved through the saving Gospel preached by Billy Graham. The following excerpt contains my cousin Naomi's testimony. She gained her credentials for being listened to years before this appeared.

Lillian Trasher was renowned in the Middle East for her orphanage in Asyut, Egypt, and lifetime of service to the "least of these"--widows and orphans, the usually most neglected and preyed upon ones of society. This book ought to be the best thing you could do with five dollars, unless you are starving and really need that Big Mac and fries.
The August 14 issue of the Pentecostal EVANGEL magazine carries the Assembly of God endorsement for the book, "Letters from Lillian," a special 100 year edition about Lilian Trasher's ministry to orphans in Egypt. Information given on Lilian Trasher: "Miracles were a way of life for this dedicated mother of 8,000 Egyptian children. In 1910, 23 year old Lillian Trasher answered God's call for missionary service to Africa. The following year, she began an orphanage in Asyut, Egypt, that would be home for thousands of children and widows. Her letters from more than 50 years of service reveal her passion to repair broken lives and minister physically and spiritually to those who otherwise would never have heard the gospel."--$5.

"George Washington Carver," an American Biography, by Rackham Holt, is a wonderful book, and I learned many things from it about this truly great man. Published in 1943, this old but still standard biography contains plentiful information as well as pictures of Carver and also Booker T. Washington, another luminary and contemporary of Carver. I have taken far too long to get around to reading it, as I did not take Black History in college, but should have done some independent study to make up for that lack in my education. Well, better late than never!--as they say. In connection with this, David Barton has the following things to say concerning the deplorable neglect of Black History in this country--neglected by blacks too, by the way. Years and years of "black studies" have not produced any great increase in knowledge of their heritage, apparently. Poor teaching? Slanted too much to political issues? I have no idea. Only I would not be surprised if racism and radical left partisan politics has come into the program, and knowledge and truth have flown out!

FRIENDSHIP CENTER FOR MOSLEMS AND JEWS:
I have resided six weeks among the Moslem Arabs and Christian Arabs of both Bethlehem and Jericho, so I gained a little experience, and made friends too. This privilege was mine due the link my group had with a wonderful Pentecostal missionary, an aged widow and prayer champion named Minnie Kemery. I stayed with her and her "family" of fellow missionaries in Bethlehem for six weeks. It was an unforgettable experience. She was, I recall, concerned that there would be found and posted on her house wall inside in the entry a sign that gave the Arabic and Hebrew words for "PEACE." This card below was sent to me by her. I hope she got the words posted to her wall, as it carried the message that it is almost the same word in both languages, and that they are both called to be at peace and not at war with each other. This can be achieved only through Jesus Christ, the Messiah and the Savior of the World.
Sister Minnie has no doubt gone on to her tremendous reward in heaven, as I knew her back in the early eighties, and though still going strong, she was an elderly lady. I shall look forward to seeing her once again in heaven! I only regret I did not stay on and trust God to supply my needs there, so I could have assisted her in any way I could.

ANTI-SEMITISM WATCH CENTER:
Don't stick your head in the sand any longer, Christian! While helping yourself to a second big bowl of Tom and Jerry's ice cream ambrosia, please reflect that their company, sold or unsold, Unilever's or not, has taken the stance not to sell in the "Occupied Territories" because they object to Israel's presence in those areas that the Bible declares the Lord God of Israel bequeathed forever to his Chosen People the Jews (read, Israelites). This is the devious anti-Christ spirit at work, deceiving two Jewish ice cream magnates, brothers Tom and Jerry, and out to slam Israel and defame Israel for "occupying" what God gave Israel in his everlasting covenant with his people.
I do believe anti-semitism is an evil spirit, and it is not political so much as a spiritual sickness brought on Satan himself, and so it cannot be argued away, it can only be defeated by the Word of God and prayed away, as it is a demonic oppression upon a person.

Hans Nielsen Hauge, a farmer and son of a farmer, was raised up by God to lead a revival in Norway that swept the whole country with holiness and repentance in the 18th and early 19th century. His opponents were powerful churched officials (much like the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus' time) who hated revival and restoration, and thought their high positions threatened if the common people, so ignorant and carnal and easy to keep in their place through ignorance and ecclesiastical intimation with rules, rules, and more rules, turned back to the Bible and to true godly lives. Despite all the good he did, the dirtiest, darkest, dankest prison was Hauge's lot for many years, destroying his health, but he never gave in to their oppression and intimidation and recanted. It cost him much, but thousands of souls were saved and made holy due to his ministry. Norway may never see his like again. In the first place, my ancestors' homeland of Norway never deserved Hauge, and having persecuted him so bitterly, would probably do the same to anyone else like him who should happen to arise to take up where he left off. Only this time it would be in the name of Tolerance, Diversity, and Multiculturalism, which are the marching chants of world wide communism and the brutal police state of totalitarian ideology!
We are continuing with the excerpting of this wonderful little book about revival in Norway in the 18th century.

The Manhattan Declaration: A Call to Conscience"
"Voice of Triumph," published by Clarence Finsaas, a Portland, Oregon pastor in the 1970s, in the interests of "Lutheran charismatic renewal", has a very interesting, revealing article called Revival, which tells about the Evangelist Finney and how revival got started under his preaching in a New England town called Sodom (but not in the way he expected!). We have another too from the same source that tells how revival turned yet another church and town upside down. Please return for these revival accounts. They can say a lot about what we must have today in 21st century America if we are to have a genuine revival, a Third and Final Awakening that may, just may, save our country from utter destruction in the near future.

Interesting information about Billy Sunday: He was successful first as a White Stocking baseball player, and was assured of a lucrative career, but he surrendered it for what God wanted of him, evangelism! Evidently, he decided eternal riches in heaven were much better than temporary, soul-destroying riches on earth. My grandparents back in the Fifties and quite possibly before that rode on rudimentary buses to his meetings in town if they could get away from their chores on the farm. We have pictures of them doing that. So even Lutherans could go to evangelistic services and not feel guilty about it. They went! How about us today? Do we avoid such things? What is our excuse? No doubt it is "inconvenient" or not the sort of thing we are comfortable with. So what? We ought to go if we can simply as an example to the younger generation, which my grandparents certainly were.

"The Macedonian Call--Again," Excerpt of Chapter by Robert L. Niklaus
I was using the copier at the library in Middle America one day when I noticed nearby what looked like a paperweight. It had a ceramic finish, and a felt underside. But the message was most encouraging. I thought someone had left it there by accident, but I made a copy of the message to pass it on to you, then put it back in the same spot I found it. Later I returned to check on it, and it was gone! But I have the message, even if I wonder who could have put it there, for what reason, and does he or she go about planting this message in public places and then retrieving them to plant in yet other places. It might be--you never know--but here this little gem is:
"What is a Christian?" by Franklin Graham
Discipling is perhaps the most important thing to be done today by the churches, with salvation being the means to open the door to true discipleship. Yet there are so few disciples according to Biblical standards. Why?

"The Forgiveness of Sins, or Grace," by Martin Luther is absolute bedrock for any Bible-based Christian. It is now become even a matter of life and death, as Bible-based Christians face stiff persecution, imprisonment, and even death in many countries of the world.
Martin Luther's Sermon on the Forgiveness of Sins, or Grace
I very much doubt we can find a better preacher of what grace and law precisely and oppositely are as Romans teaches us, and the Pauline Gospel is best appreciated most probably by none other than Martin Luther, the monk turned Great Reformer who first struggled with the problem of both as a matter of life and death until God's revelation broke through to him as he read, "The just shall live by faith.":

From Voice of Triumph, Fall Issue, 1984:
"I would not give one moment of heaven for all the joy and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years."--Martin Luther
"All heaviness of mind and melancholy come of the devil; especially these thoughts, that God is not gracious unto him; that God will have no mercy upon him, etc. Whosoever thou art, possessed with such heavy thoughts, know for certain that they are a work of the devil. God sent His Son into the world, not to affright, but to comfort."--Martin Luther

"Who is Really Your God?": An Excerpt From Martin Luther's LARGE CATECHISM Translation by Rev. Robert E. Smith From the German text in: TRIGLOT CONCORDIA. (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, 1921). p. 580.
"The First Commandment You must not have other gods. That is, I must be your only God. Question: What does this saying mean? How should we understand it? What does it mean to have a god? What is God? Answer: To have a god means this: You expect to receive all good things from it and turn to it in every time of trouble. Yes, to have a god means to trust and to believe in Him with your whole heart. I have often said that only the trust and faith of the heart can make God or an idol. If your faith and trust are true, you have the true God, too. On the other hand, where trust is false, is evil, there you will not have the true God either. Faith and God live together. I tell you, whatever you set your heart on and rely on is really your god." -- This text was translated for Project Wittenberg by Rev. Robert E. Smith and is in the public domain.

Do you imagine poets look like so many do today, rather over-refined, academic types who are mostly all liberals and who write to a tiny group of people who think exactly as they do on issues? That may be true enough about them, but it is true only of the contemporary scene. A century ago, you could find more virile types, such as Alfred Tennyson. He was Poet Laureate of Great Britain after Wordsworth died. And perhaps Britain's greatest poet, or at least a peer of Shakespeare, Milton, Donne, and Hopkins. That is not claiming too much for him, as Gerard Manley Hopkins called him a glorious poet, for all his perceived flaws. Hopkins was a great Christian poet, so for him to praise Tennyson so was to give him highest praise. We will be offering some excerpts of this great Christian poet, whose influence continues today to be strong, and no doubt will continue as long as this old earth revolves. "The Lady of Shalott," "Idylls of the King," "Break, Break, Break," "Crossing the Bar," "In Memoriam,"--his memorable works are too many to mention here. He was a genius at the earliest age, writing 6,000 lines of an epic poem while in his early teens. Imagine a teenager doing that today! He would have to be on steroids! And TIME magazine would feature him on the front cover, no doubt!
RECOMMENDED CHRISTIAN MAGAZINES AND NEWLETTERS (THESE ARE DATED SOME YEARS AGO, BUT THE PUBLICATIONS ARE STILL EXCELLENT AND YOU CAN CONTACT THEM ON-LINE OR EVEN RECEIVE THEM ON-LINE:
Update: I have not been able to contact the editor for several years now, so I cannot say the magazine is still publishing.
A few Biblical reminders for some spiritual maladies, which are true for the entire year, not just for April, May, and June:
April 7--For Fretfulness, Heb. 12:3. "Consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself". [this is an excellent verse for the current U.S. Presidency of Joe Biden and all its woes of ungodliness--Ed.]
April 14--For Resentfulness, Psalm 18:30. "As for God, His way is perfect."
April 21, For Broken-heartedness, Psalm 55: 22, "Cast thy burden upon the Lord and He shall sustain thee."
April 28, For Weariness, Psalm 37: 7. "Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him".
May 5, For Weakness, Eph. 6:10. "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might".
May 12, For Solitariness, Heb. 13: 5/6. "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee".
May 19, For Fearfulness, Isa. 41: 10. "Fear thou not, for I am with thee".
May 26, For Faithlessness, Luke 12:30. "Your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things".
June 2, For Forgetfulness, Psalm 103: 2. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits".
June 9, For Worldliness, 1. John 2: 15/17. "Love not the world...the world passeth away, but he that doeth the will of God abide for ever".
June 16, For Drowsiness, Mark 13: 35. "Watch...for ye know not when the Master of the house cometh".
June 23, For Hopelessness, Psalm 42: 5 & 11. "Why art thou cast down, O my soul?...Hope thou in God".
This issue features a tribute to my mother for all her support over the years to this ministry and makes known her passing to heaven. She left a legacy of faith in action at the Seafarer's Center which shall not pass away, I believe, but will grow from year to year, producing much fruit for God's kingdom.
"Evangelism and Church Growth Center:
American Bible Society & Chinese Bibles
Every Bible printed probably reaches dozens of people potentially, as the Bibles are shared, not set on coffee tables or in bookshelves to gather dust. Each Bible is treasured and used until it is completely worn out and in tatters. We in America have no idea how valuable a Bible is, since we have always had access to all the Bibles we could possibly want. Not so in China! Very few people, proportionately, own a Bible. The hunger for Bibles is so great that people weep when they hold their first Bible.
Take a lesson from the Back to Jerusalem ministry of the underground home churches of China! They know all about evangelism and church growth. They just don't add numbers, they add true, reproducing Christians! Go to the website and find out about this:

CARTOON AND HUMOR CENTER:
We heartily recommend the cartoons of the Levitt Letter, which are clearly the best in the Christian and even the secular magazine world. You cannot possibly find their equal--just try! And I won't hold my breath either! We absolutely need humor in this increasingly grim age and increasing darkening world and increasingly immoral, Democrat Party dominated society in America.--Ed.
