Don’t Rush by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman “Who is among you that feareth Jehovah, that obeyeth the voice of his servant? He that walketh in darkness and hath no light, let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rely upon his God” (Isa. 50:10, RV). What shall the believer do in times of darkness–the …

Ordering the Home For Life Now | Cozy Life Reset – Day 18

Tuesday, July 8, 2025

Two weeks ago I shared a video with David about the importance of creativity, especially that which we do with our hands. Although he received his graphic design education doing everything manually, he makes a digital living using a screen and a mouse. So the video hit him in a profound way. David has a …

Trouble is a Messenger | Streams in the Desert

Friday, June 27, 2025

Trouble is a Messenger by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman “My Father is the husbandman” (John 15:1). It is comforting to think of trouble, in whatever form it may come to us, as a heavenly messenger, bringing us something from God. In its earthly aspect it may seem hurtful, even destructive; but in its spiritual out-working …

American Public Is Turning on Israel

Wednesday, June 25, 2025

We are never, ever getting this conversation back into the shadows. A significant and growing percentage of Americans literally no longer cares if you call them an anti-semite. They simply want the truth. I don’t know how this will end. I would guess with massive disclosure about how our greatest ally has been just the …

A Christian Nation

"The real object of the first amendment was not to countenance, much less to advance, Mahometanism, or Judaism, or infidelity, by prostrating Christianity; but to exclude all rivalry among christian sects, and to prevent any national ecclesiastical establishment, which should give to a hierarchy the exclusive patronage of the national government."

Joseph Story (Associate Justice of the Supreme Court), Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States (1833), § 1871.

countenance: To favor; to encourage by opinion or words; To encourage; to appear in defense (Websters Dictionary 1828)
