God appoints the leadership in every country, island, state and jurisdiction in the earth.  Are these leaders Christian conservatives?  Look around the globe and answer the question for yourself.  Whoever is in leadership positions around the world is there because God allowed it.   God places people in leadership according to His Will and His purposes.    Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, in his dream in Daniel Chapter 4, was told by the watchers in the dream, “in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, gives it to whomever He will, and sets over it the lowest of men. ”   Daniel reiterates the same truth in verses 25 and 32.  God is in control in the earth.   In verse 31, the voice was heard from heaven “King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken the kingdom has departed from you!  Verse 32:  …… “until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it t...

Psalms 93:1:  The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty;  The Lord is clothed, He has girded Himself  with strength.  …… Our Lord God is clothed with majesty.  When I think of majesty, my thoughts take me to one of the portraits of the Queen of England – Queen Elizabeth II.  In the portrait that I am seeing in my mind, the Queen is sitting in her royal robe with a blue band diagonally across her chest and a crown of jewels on her head.  She definitely looks like royalty.   The verse in Psalms 93 tells us, God is clothed with majesty.  He is the majestic One.  His majesty is like no other.  I cannot begin to imagine how majestic God is.  Psalm 29:4 says His voice is full of majesty.  When the Queen of England speaks, her voice sounds dignified and proper with her British accent which adds to the dignity of her tone.  God’s voice is as the sound of many waters.  Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on a thro...

In the Gospel according to Matthew chapter 28, Matthew gave his account of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead.   He said, the first day after the Sabbath – the Sabbath after Jesus’ crucifixion -  at the dawning of the day,  Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb where Jesus laid.  Instead they saw an angel, who said to them, “He is not here;  for He is risen as He said.”  “Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”    “And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, …..”  As they were going Jesus met them on the road.  They fell at His feet and worshipped Him. V9. In the Gospel according to Mark chapter 16, Mark adds that the women had brought spices to anoint Jesus’ body.  Mark repeats the same message given by the angel.  “He is risen!”  “He is not here.”  “See the place where they laid him.”  In the Gospel according to Luke chapter 24,...
