The National ID: What is coming next?

by Tim Bales

It was reported today in Gulf News that the country of the United Emirates in the Middle East is requiring a national ID.  This is not big news in itself as lots of countries are doing this.  We talked last Wednesday night about some of the prophetic trends that are happening and especially about the […]

Are You Confessing?

by Tim Bales

This past Sunday we looked into Hebrews 11:13-16.  We have been looking in-depth at the faith-walk.  The working out of faith in the lives of those who have gone before us.  This is always a challenge because it calls us to greater faith in Christ. Particularly in this area of being a confessor.  The first […]

I Will Bless Those….

by Tim Bales

I had the privilege yesterday of teaching on Hebrews 11:8.  This verse concerns itself with Abraham’s obedience to God’s command.  A review of Genesis 11:31-12:9 followed.  It could not have happened at a better time!  I had just returned from the Holy Land the Tuesday before.  There were sights and events that were still very […]

Just Another War?

by Tim Bales

At this writing the United States is on the brink of some limited attack on the nation of Syria because of the alleged use of chemical weapons by its government on its own people. It is not my design to answer whether or not this has happened, but, to wonder out loud about what we […]

Why Aren’t Our Laws Working?

by Tim Bales

As we watch the news these days I am amazed by what is happening to us.  And maybe you, like me, are asking the question, “What is happening to America?”  There has been another shooting on Mother’s Day.  There is a man on trial for cutting the spinal cords of aborted children to make sure […]

Another Disaster!

by Tim Bales

Here we are again!  Another disaster in the US.  With all the bombings, floods, fires, super-storms and shootings one has to ask, “What in the world is going on?”  And it is a fair question.  The Westborough crazies claim it is the wrath of God against homosexuality among other things.  The Muslim Brotherhood claims that […]

Do We Care?

by Tim Bales

Well, yesterday was Sanctity of Life Sunday.  Here at Calvary Chapel of Henderson we use this day to reflect on the state of affairs in our land with regard to abortion.  And, as I indicated then, not much has changed for the good in the last year.  We are being overwhelmed by a society that […]

They Told Everyone!

by Tim Bales

Two  weeks ago at our fellowship we talked about Luke chapter 2 and the shepherds. We have be tracking the Advent Candles this year and the third candle is the Shepherds Candle. One of the things you cannot miss is the joy they find at the coming of Messiah! You know the story.  A quiet, […]

Thanksgiving?

by Tim Bales

Well, Thanksgiving and Black Friday are past!  Ever wonder why it is called that?  Some say that it ensures that retailers will be “in the black” for the year.  In other words, they will make a profit. But it seems “black” to me for another reason.  There is this creep that seems to be happening. […]

Feeling Fruitful?

by Tim Bales

Here is a great article from Charles Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional (highly recommended!).  He reminds us again of our dependence on Christ. “The branch cannot bear fruit of itself.”  — John 15:4 How did you begin to bear fruit? It was when you came to Jesus and cast yourselves on his great atonement, and […]
