The Upward Call: Navigating Past, Present, and Future
Looking Back: Beyond Nostalgia and Regret We often view the “good old days” through a filtered lens. While reminiscing brings comfort, there is a subtle danger in losing the context of days gone by. When we strip away the struggles of the past to remember only the simple things, we risk longing for a time… →

The Light in the Distance: A Christmas Message of Hope
The Journey to the Manger The story of Christmas does not begin with a celebration. It begins with a journey—one marked by weariness, dusty roads, and the heavy weight of obedience. To understand the peace we seek today, we must first look back to that evening in Judea, as recorded in Luke 2:1-7 (KJV) “And… →

The Iniquitous Blitzkrieg of Global Debauchery
“The signal-fires of warningThey blaze, but none regard;And on through night to morningThe world runs ruinward.”― A.E. Housman How many times can people ask the question “What is wrong with the world?” Why do we see more evil, immorality, despair, and hopelessness all around? Even the most jaded of people can see it – things have… →

IS TRUTH DEAD?
Life Beyond Horizons Ministry receives many emails, comments and prayer requests in any given week and they range in topic from encouragement to questions about faith and requests for prayer.

Winter of Discontent
“Now is the winter of our discontentMade glorious summer by this sun of York;And all the clouds that lour’d upon our houseIn the deep bosom of the ocean buried.” This remarkable prose is taken from the brilliant opening soliloquy of Shakespeare’s Richard III. Taken within their intended context the orator is celebrating the bright future… →

Upon Which Cross
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of… →

Facing the Crossroads – Look to the Cross
“Funny, y’know? After all the highways, and the trains, and the appointments, and the years, you end up worth more dead than alive.” Willy Loman – Death of a Salesman “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.” Henry David Thoreau Where is hope? Today we see… →

The Great Divide
The Continental Divide, also known as The Great Divide, extends from northern Alaska southward across North America, then continues through Central and finally South America where it ends. This prominent divide of the continent, in very basic terms, separates the hydrological features and watersheds, thus forming the pattern of the rivers while influencing the runoff… →

Love Thy Neighbor
The phrase “Love thy neighbor” gets tossed around somewhat frequently and is quite often misrepresented by those with an underlying agenda. One recent example found the Vice-President overtly weaponizing the term to marginalize the unvaccinated. Regardless of a person’s reasoning or intent behind their choice to vaccinate or not – it was made clear –… →

Missing in Action – America in the End Times
Anyone interested in eschatology, theology focused on the end times, has probably dealt with the fact that the United States is not reflected in biblical prophecy of the end times. You can easily draw conclusive proof to show Russia, Syria, Turkey, Iran and others battling with and/or joining forces with each other as the apocalyptical… →

In Times like These…
*UPDATED – November 2022 This original article was written in 2021 immediately following the election in Israel that resulted in a fragile partnership government to be headed by Naftali Bennett. Just as we predicted, this coalition was not only troubling but marred by short-sighted agreements aimed more at the prevention of Netanyahu ever returning to… →

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
How do you view the world? Have you ever taken a moment of self-reflection, stepping outside of yourself, to better understand a certain belief or perception? I would venture to say that most of us see the world in similar ways, or at various points in life we could place ourselves within the title of… →

The Battle Line is drawn
And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a corrupt mind so that they do what is not right. They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. Romans 1:28-29 Our world has been given over… →

What is wrong with the World?
No doubt countless times you’ve either heard it asked or raised the question yourself, “what is wrong with the world?” Believe it or not, nothing is wrong today that hasn’t been wrong since Satan introduced sin into our world. Ecclesiastes chapter 1 verse 9 says, “What has been is what will be, and what has been… →

Where do we go from here?
Pandemic, Mask mandates, Social Distancing Are you fearful or just carrying that feeling of anxiety, maybe not even knowing why? Where is the world we used to know – the one where we could travel, eat out, go to a concert, or simply gather with friends – where did it go? Many people are asking… →

Trader or Traitor?
We live in a world that values “Me” over serving others, a self-centered world of social media clamoring for more things, more money, with little regard for anyone else. As a believer in Jesus – where do you stand in your walk with the Lord? Have you settled for a comfortable existence, do you prefer… →

“The Beginning of Sorrows” Death and Life
A month or two before the pandemic, I was visiting a museum in New York City and I found myself totally engrossed in the image of a sculpture, a small pieta of Jesus, laying in repose after the crucifixion, with an angel on each side – one in mourning for our Lord’s death, the other… →

Trusting in God
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Having grown up in a southern baptist church, I have fond memories of the old hymns, the classics, that we would sing in a… →

Death of the Church – “Comfort Zone Christianity”
Church in America is comfortable, consistent, pre-planned and delivered in a tidy package each week to the faithful. Deviate from that organized delivery model and church leaders will hear about it in no uncertain terms. Regular complaints include temperature, too hot or cold, music too loud or too contemporary and of course the pastor went… →

Bought at a Price
Life is measured in seasons of time as predictable as the sunrise and sunset of each passing day. We busy ourselves with the tasks of daily life, working, raising a family, which often leaves little time for anything else. It can become a drudgery, these gears of life grinding away, stealing our joy, leaving us… →
