  1. The Bible clearly tells us these things will happen But Our Almighty God is working His purpose out and we are required to pray .Pray without ceasing pray for our enemies pray for all those that wrongfully use us pray pray pray for Gods mercy on all including ourselves keep ourselves pure by obedience pure by asking for forgiveness infact if we are unable to do nothing else we can pray even if we don’t think we have the words leave it to the wonderful Holy Spirit and pray pray pray, have a blessed new year be blessed and pray pray pray.

  2. I read in your article today about the Newsweek piece that you will be going to Haiti in the coming new year. Just a note of blessing and to say that my daughter and son-in-law and family are in Haiti as missionaries. I will pray for your safety along with theirs. We were to go over there soon but have our trip on hold because of political unrest.
    Also, thank you so much for helping me to stay focused and diligent in my walk with the Lord through you emails and books.
    May God continue to bless your endeavors and travels this new year.

  3. Thank you for your devotion, I’m subsribed to some of your publications, if this is duplication, sorry not meant to, but very hungry for more. Thank you again

  4. Mel,

    I want to thank you for this message. I’m teaching an adult woman’s Sunday School class this Sunday (60+ y.o.) and I too, am trying to get them to study, not simply read the bible. His word is a light for our path and a lamp for our feet and we need to live out what we learn. Knowledge is useless if we don’t use it. I enjoy your emails and devotionals.

    Thank you,

    Diane

  5. We are at the ending of times; Revelation 22:10 to 12

    10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

    11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

    12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

  6. Dear Mel,
    I know that it is difficult to read and or hear of ridiculous things about God and the Bible. If one picks up a hot pan, then they are more likely to not do that again. My point, it might make people more hot or cold toward the Bible and God if they have absurd information out there. God says He cannot work with lukewarm. If this article gets people fired up about God, then did it not move people out of the lukewarm state? I do think that it is a very slippery slope when talking bad about God. He can smash us like a bug. I am glad to see that this article got YOU fired up. I am not glad about your being upset, but it does show you care. From one child of God to another, I Love you. Keep on pressing toward the prize of Jesus!

  7. Bravo Mel! I parted ways with Newsweek years ago for this simple and real fact. Brother, I agree and will join you in my own growth and sharing what the Holy Spirit directs me to do in my kingdom work. My we rally in prayer for one another and ask for understanding and strength as we approach a New Year that people are not loss, misguided and led down the wrong paths. God bless you for sharing your thoughts.

  8. I totally identify with your burden to get christians to a deeper knowledge of God through Bible reading and study.
    In fact, my husband and I had recently started some Bible teaching classes involving people from different churches. We are thrilled seing our students as they get excited when thet are able to understand it better, thus deepening their relationship with God
    As we are hispanic, I am really interested in the launching of the Spanish version of your book. Pls keep me posted on that and count on me if you ever need help with your translations into my native language
    God bless you!

  9. Islamic fascists have been enslaving, torturing, and murdering people (including children) for hundreds of years and are still doing so today, and Newsweek takes aim at the Bible? (Really?)

    Seriously, Pastor Lawrence, when does it end? When do Christian leaders join forces, draw a line in the sand, and take Newsweek and the rest of them on? They fight the Light, because they are on the other side.

    If it’s between Newsweek and the Bible, I vote for the Bible every single time. I believe I’ve read that it is the Best Selling book of all time. It has transformed lives for the better and impacted the growth of Western society. People died to spread its truth.
    Newsweek and its merry band of far-Left radicals can take a hike. They cannot be allowed to lead this discussion. The Bible is “The Book”, because it changed the World through the will of God.

  10. Jacqueline Soljden

    Mel, I don’t see too many answers or response to Newsweek like articles. Could respected leaders respond to this. As Christians we seem to be too almost accepting and don’t fight back in a nice but firm way to these articles. How great were the days when Billy Graham was out there preaching and touring like he did. We need a plan but I can’t think of one. I love all that you do. I’m a lone, long time member of Elmbrook.

  11. I would appreciate very much if you include me in your mailing list to enable me to receive materials for may Christian growth.

  12. Hello, I don’t know what the topic is that you are discussing, but I hope there is some one there that can talk to me about my crisis of CHURCH, not having a crisis of Faith just a crisis of church. Awhile back Presby USA withdrew support from Israel. That made me shutter. King David had every right in my book to kill King Saul but he did not! Why didn’t he? Because David could not see passed the fact that Saul had been anointed by GOD! Saul turned secular, yet David did not kill him! What is the lesson I take from that? Well, Israel at this moment is secular, but they are still the “apple of GOD’s eye”. Therefore, it is not my job to punish her, it’s my GOD’s job to turn her back toward himself. It’s only my job to support her! My church affiliation is not supporting her. Now my church affiliation has decieded to change it’s constitution to include suborning homosexual marriage. My Pastor is also at this moment having a crisis of church! This affiliation has taught me that the world changes but GOD does not! I have listened to arguments for and against homosexual marriage. The arguments for it merely takes bible wording out of context to support their personal agenda . “Born that way ” has not and never will be proved in this life. It is not and never has been my belief that that kind of devient behavior should be treated any differently than any other sin. In otherwords I don’t want to stone them or jail them or persecute them. All I want to do is tell them, that I can not accept their argument cause God has said it is wrong. just like stealing, cheating and lying. I believe that is the Bible teaching and I don’t care if you call me a hater or bigot or whatever. I only care what GOD thinks. People at church don’t see how any of that affects them or our church. Duh! How they carry on as business as usual in light of Presby USA publication is beyond me, course, they don’t get my reaction neither. I am not asking you what I should do, but I sure would appreciate your opinion on the matter! I’m not at all sure as to whether this is just a bump in the road or a head on crash into a brick wall. Thanks so much! Mary

      We are all born sinners, so born that way doesn’t mean it is right or natural; I join your frustration there. I don’t think it is Biblical to make unbelievers try to live like believers, since they cannot do so. Also, we left the PCUSA for caring more about modern skepticism; however much of the Church is living like the world anyway. Shame.
      Btw, did you know that Israel as it is right now is a majority Secular nation? In 2024 43% of a survey indicated, moderates, Ultra- and Hasidic- Orthodoxy. The majority are not looking to rebuild the Temple. Modern Hasidic Orthodoxy started in the 18th century; not in the 1st or 2nd century.
      Just saying.
      Keep looking to the Father, through the Son, by the Holy Spirit. God is not in a quandry about what to do. Jesus has our back.

  13. What does it mean to become as a Jew. I don”t remember what book that it’s in. But let me explain why I’m asking. One of the elders got up and gave to the people what he said God gave to him about the church being made into a social club. My Bishop got up and said that this is his church and that he does the correcting. And he said that the Bible says that we have to become like them the ones that were dancing and shaking their behinds in order to win them over to Christ Jesus. I’m a Deacon in my church and sometimes my Bishop blows me away don”t get me wrong he is a man of God amen. I’m just trying too get some understanding.

  14. I would very much like to learn “How to” read the Bible…some passages are such that I cannot put the Word down, but others are so hard until I hear them spoken from the Pulpit.

    Thank you,

  15. My complete walk with Jesus Christ is very important to me, alone with gaining wisdom and understanding of the Bible is key to my total victory in this walk with my Him. Thank you Sir for this information to help so many people like myself. I need encouraging reasons to study longer and harder than anything in my life.

    Regard,

  16. I am almost 80 years old, and have struggled all my life with trying to UNDERSTAND the Bible. It makes me sad that even tho I grew up in a home where my father believed in the Bible and it’s truths, I could never seem to “grasp” it all. I am a believer, but I am just so yearning to “hear God” in the scriptures when I read them.

    Linda

  17. Praise God!
    I thank God for you in the service of the Kingdom.
    Sir, my question is ‘Do we take the Scripture literally for Deut. 22 : 5 or how do we explain that in contemporary time?

The other point is that any time a problem occurs with a pc motherboard, people today should not go ahead and take risk of repairing it themselves for if it is not done properly it can lead to permanent damage to the complete laptop. It is almost always safe just to approach any dealer of a laptop with the repair of its motherboard. They’ve technicians with an knowledge in dealing with mobile computer motherboard complications and can make right diagnosis and carry out repairs.
