Karen VanTil Gushta, Ph.D.
The unholy dreams of both Islamists and leftists are predicated on their rejection of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

by Jerry Newcombe, D.Min.
A news story out of Wisconsin tells of a company where a microchip is implanted in a human hand for purchasing items out of vending machines. One can't help but think of the book of Revelation in light of this story. But we should proceed with caution on over-reading current events as necessarily fulfilling prophesy.
