 My mother, Pastor Moser, is the founder of this website. She passed away suddenly in October 2013, just days short of her 69th birthday. She felt a heavy burden to write, what she called her "articles", monthly and have them posted right away. During the latter part of last year, she felt tired frequently (due to her unknown health condition at that time) and would sometimes have to combine months for one article as her monthly deadline would pass. She felt awful having to combine two mon...

As a minister, (as well as a senior citizen) at this point in life, I thought I had heard it all, when it came to family problems. Not so! Recently, I was talking to a woman, in her 60's, who was telling me about an out of state visit fro... Continue reading ...

We are still in the early months of this year, 2013. The worst of the winter has passed, and Spring is on the horizon, which is another new beginning. I've chosen the above scripture because I feel it was the first new beginning in the Bible. Many Bible scholars feel a judgment had taken place between verses 1 and 2. First, there was the heaven and the earth, and then there wasn't. That is another lesson, but there are scriptures to indicate a catastrophe had taken place, between verses 1... Continue reading ...

The Bible, which is the most widely known of books,
encourages and baffles study at the same time. Even a non-believer, rightly
feels that it isn't wise to be totally ignorant of the most famous and ancient
of books. And yet even the most sincere
of believers soon gives up any serious
effort to master the content of the sacred writings. The reason is not hard to
see. It is because no particular portion of Scripture can be understood out
of ... Continue reading ...

Once again, it
is that time of year. The gifts were purchased or made, and given, and it is
almost time to take down the decorations. Parties have been attended, travel
plans may have been on the agenda, and the baking is finished. Shopping,
cleaning, visiting, church activities, and all the endless activities of the
Christmas season are over. It is usually a busy as well as a happy time of year
for most of us. In one week alone, I had made 2 frui... Continue reading ...

Every so often I try to write on the next event we can
expect on the Biblical Calendar, which is.... the Pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church. The closer we
get, the more confusion and rejection of it we see. The Rapture is being denied
and ridiculed more and more, not only by church goers, but even by some ministers,
in that very few of them even preach about it anymore! The main reason for this
is that Satan doesn't want the world or the C... Continue reading ...

We have heard the dire predictions of men about global
warming and various other calamities coming upon this earth, and many people
are concerned about the future how strange that we just came through the
effects of Hurricane Sandy (called the "Hurricane on Steroids") as I was
beginning this article! I am buried
under snow, and my daughter who lives only 20 miles away, only had light
rain! However, it is more
important to see what God says about the ... Continue reading ...

Every once in awhile, I like to just teach a Bible
information message rather than teach life lessons, via testimonies. Some of
this may seem dry by comparison, but we need to know the Word. I usually like
to get beneath the layers of facts and get at the heart of a message. For me it
is not enough to KNOW something, I want also to glean the meaning, and the
“why”, if possible, behin...

One thing I really like about God...He isn't boring! When you sign on with HIM, you are in for an adventure! I once heard a TV preacher say, “We need to ask ourselves if we are a fainter or a fighter, a weakling or a warrior, a victim or a victor”. That is certainly a Selah (pause and think on that) question! We are faced with these situations at one time or another in life, even if not on a daily basis.
Unlike the TV comedian who us...

In the 1970's, my young daughter and I began life on our own in a new location not far from home. We had been through quite a rough patch as the country folk call it, and needed to make a new start. After finding a cozy little house in a safe neighborhood, the next thing we needed to do was find a church. As it “so happened” a new church was being built and scheduled to open soon close by and it seemed they were having a time of it, too. First, a f... Continue reading ...

[Those of you who have read my articles
the past twelve years know that I write my own commentaries. Anytime
I borrow from another writer, I always give the credit to the
originator. A few years ago I ran across a few paperbacks and bought
them to aid me in my own studies. It is a series written by Girard
and Richards entitled The Smart Guide to the Bible series. I liked
the studies as they share a lot of details that we don't ord... Continue reading ...

As we continue last month's teaching, we glance briefly at the nations under the human government of four world empires, and we see strange figures for facts. The Prophet Daniel saw the beginning when he was a captive taken by King Nebuchadnezzar at the fall of the holy Temple in Jerusalem. In Daniel 1:8, he purposed in his heart he would not be defiled w...

Every so often, some unknown “wanna be” sticks his head up and announces some wild prediction to the masses, of doom, gloom, and the destruction of the world. When the date comes and goes without incident, as in the most recent case, then the “see-er” recalculates his dates and comes up with another one, as also in the most recent case. After so many tries, people tend to lose faith in the boy who cri... Continue reading ...

Here we are once again, at the close of another year. It is so hard to believe that 2011 is winding down, and yet it will be the New Year before we know it! Maybe it is just me, but the older I get the faster life goes! However, the one thing that keeps me mentally staying on course is I feel I still have things to do. Regardless of age or condition, we are required to “finish our course and keep the faith for there is a Crown laid up for u...

For the past three years, I have been watching our church scene here in America, more so than usual. It may have to do with my personal unrest in my own small town, but it seems to me that the Church seems on the decline in most places. With the return of our Lord Jesus feeling so close, I find this alarming, to say the least! It feels like so many churches have lost their vision, and even our political scene s...

Yesterday was my birthday, and I awoke
this morning thinking that I haven't even started on October's
article yet! I thought, “Well, this is a great way to start this
next year of my life!” I dragged out of bed, and began the morning
routine. (It is amazing how that takes a bit longer these days)! I
opened the back door, as Kit-Kat was pa... Continue reading ...
 Image Courtesy of: www.danburrell.comI was reading an online intro to a book, and the author said that “the most valuable thing that we all possess is time. In our busy lives, it is so hard to carve out even a few minutes for introspection, reflection, or even meaningful thought. But if we don't have hours at our disposal, we do have a moment here, a moment there”. I need to buy Rabbi Twerski's book (Seize the Moments) to ga... Continue reading ...

I recently was browsing through an old hymn book, when I saw a song entitled,“Will There Be Any Stars?”. Sure enough, it was one I remembered singing in the old country church when I was a teenager. The chorus continued, “Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown....”?I had just been talking to my friend, Judy, about that very subject (crowns), that the Bible said would be given to God's people in Heaven. I had mentioned that I had not read an... Continue reading ...

I don't know how anyone else's summer has been going, but mine has been a bit more hectic than usual. One of the most frustrating things, has been my ineptitude getting used to this new computer. It is a little more difficult adapting to the unfamiliar as we get older, especially when other situations in life are unsettling as well. Besides having technical difficulties, I could not get the May's article to come together and posted on time, which of c... Continue reading ...

As you regular readers know, at the end of each article I usually post a W.O.W. which is kind of like a “sermon in a sentence” sort of thing. I don't know about anyone else, but this summer has really started off with a bang at my house. A lot of changes, health issues, family moves, home improvements, etc. and I find that it is June already and I haven't finished May's article yet...it is like the old Dutch saying...“the...

(photo courtesy of: www.jesuspaintings.com)We are now entering into the time of the 'Glory of His Word' Theocracy during the Age of the Law. As already noted, these Dispensational Truths give the pre-eminence or supremacy of God's Will. Rev. C. I. Scofield, D.D. gave each Covenant or dispensation a name in order to clarify each segment of Biblical History, which are listed as follows: (1) Innocence (Gen. I:28). (2) Conscience (Gen. ...

(courtesy of www.gnmagazine.org) Three months after Israel had gone forth from Egypt, they came into the wilderness of Sinai, pitched their tents and camped before the mount. Moses went up before God, and was instructed as to what to tell the people. God told him to tell the people... “You have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles wings, and brought you unto myself. Now if you will obey my voice indeed and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure u... Continue reading ...

Last month, we ended the Third
Dispensation under the Noahic Covenant. Through the seven sons of
Japheth, (son of Noah), came the goyim, or
the Gentile nations, translated “heathen”. The name does not
imply religion, but simply means non-Israelite or “foreigner”.
Genesis 11 and 12 mark an important turning point in the Divine
dealing. Up to now, the history has been of the whole Adamic race.
There has been neither Jew nor Gentile; al... Continue reading ...

“In like a lion, out like a lamb” usually refers to the month of
March, but 2011 has had a jump start on that old American adage. With
below freezing temperatures and several inches of snow across most of
our country, it looks like January not only came in, and is now
roaring through February like a lion as well! Hopefully, March will
do the lamb thing! So much for the theory of “Global Warming”
which the more elite scientists have debunked by... Continue reading ...

In March of 1966, I took my 7 month old
baby girl, boarded a plane (for the first time in my life), kissed my
husband goodbye, and flew 1,200 miles south to visit my in-laws.
“Me-me and Pampa” were happy to see me and their latest
grandchild, but I had an additional reason to go. I was interested in
checking out the Church/School my in-laws were attending, that had so
radically changed their lives. They were Christians, and “Pamps”
had e... Continue reading ...
