Appreciated by readers as “the piece with a punch”, this monthly letter cuts to the heart and motivates readers to put feet to their faith, walk to their talk and deed to their creed! Topics include Israel’s battle for survival, Mideast happenings in light of biblical prophecy, a call to the Church to abandon lukewarm, materialistic Christianity for nothing less than a first-love passion for Jesus Christ, and more. (Free in the US and Canada to all who request it-tell a friend.) http://www.shalomworldwide.org “Will America abandon Israel?” It’s a question I asked many years ago and devoted a whole chapter to this subject in my book “GOD GHETTOS, GENECIDE, GLORY”. That question is being answered today.

Most may not be open to believe in Yeshua. Support them anyway. Always. But never hide the Messiah from Jews - or anyone.

But now I must.

To see believers under His control and filled with supernatural boldness? To see Christians so possessed by Holy Spirit character that those who don't know Jesus are stopped in their... http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=64134&columnid=3607 Tue, 2 Feb 2010 00:00:00 -0400 Behind the soft music and peaceful scenes of Christmas a storm is brewing in the Mideast. It is a terrifying tornado of hatred directed at Israel, with Iran's president vowing to finish what Hitler couldn't. These are not... http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=62348&columnid=3607 Wed, 2 Dec 2009 00:00:00 -0400 ...After nearly 9 years, we headed back West to carry on the same battle in Southern California.

But what about you? What if you wrote a letter to Shalom telling of your needs? Where you need prayer... http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=60352&columnid=3607 Mon, 7 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400 The days are very busy with critical decisions. Norma and I-and the team-are comforted by knowing many are praying. Your support this month is so important as we prepare to climb another mountain in obedience to the Lord. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=60351&columnid=3607 Mon, 7 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400 God's time clock called "ISRAEL" continues to tick. Mere men are saying three things. The Creator of the universe says three other things. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=60350&columnid=3607 Mon, 7 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400 Drastic times call for drastic action.

It would be so easy to say, “Too old for new visions and dreams.” But that's not what God is saying. He's telling us “With God, nothing shall be impossible. Your wrinkles and gray hairs won't stop me. Lose your lives in Me. I will live My life through you.” http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=57638&columnid=3607 Fri, 1 May 2009 00:00:00 -0400 “IT'S HOPELESS! I'M HOPELESS! MY LIFE IS WORTHLESS!”It's a story that began in Florida. That's when Wes hit bottom. His business failed and he was broke. He felt shame. Humiliation! Utter hopelessness. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=55569&columnid=3607 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400 This letter is a warning to my many friends. Get ready. Prepare yourself. What happened in India can happen in Indiana. What has begun again in old Europe can happen in New England—or California—or New York—or anywhere. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=52906&columnid=3607 Tue, 6 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0400 God's election guarantees us a lively hope and a lasting purpose—to bring back King Jesus to His rightful throne. That's why Scripture says we are to “look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.” (2 Peter 3:12 NIV) http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=51976&columnid=3607 Wed, 3 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0400 Suddenly, the American dream turned into a pipe dream—even a nightmare. A house for everyone—even if you can't afford one. Get all you want—here are 20 credit cards to do it. Houses! Cards—credit cards! And then the house of cards came tumbling down! http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=51194&columnid=3607 Thu, 6 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0400 It is an awesome thing to behold the presence of God fall like invisible rain on a great mass of people. And when the Holy Spirit seems to propel them from their seats as they rush forward by the hundreds to offer Jesus Christ their spirits, souls and bodies, the atmosphere is literally electric. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=50073&columnid=3607 Wed, 1 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400 In my senior years, I am looked at—especially by younger lives—as an example, a pattern that they hope to follow. That is a fearful—a terrible—responsibility that causes me to shake in my shoes. It means crying out to our Father in heaven to kill Eiklor and replace him with Jesus. It means “giving no offense in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed”— (2 Corinthians 6:3) http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=49306&columnid=3607 Fri, 5 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0400 Over 300 Old Testament prophecies say, “Here He comes”, while the New Testament says, “Here He is!” And the “I AM” of Exodus utters the incredible “I AM the way”; “I AM the resurrection and life”; “I AM the door”; “I AM the good shepherd”. And then the bombshell; “before Abraham was, “I AM”. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=48338&columnid=3607 Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 Two thousand years later, the truth—Jesus Himself—is marching on. He is entering the hearts of men all over the world—not as some suffocating, dead Christian religion, but as the Creator and Lord of life. It couldn't be any other way. As Gamaliel said, “If it be of God, you cannot overthrow it.” And no one can. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=53304&columnid=3607 Tue, 1 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 It sounds nice to say that God chooses and uses the foolish, the weak, and the zeros (the nobodies) to carry out His will. Of course, in my younger years, though I quoted those scriptures in I Corinthians 1:27,28, I didn't really understand them. After all, with all that youthful energy and enthusiasm, it's easy to run on human strength. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=53303&columnid=3607 Sun, 1 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0400 I entered the ministry as a very young man in 1959. That means April of next year will be, God willing, 50 years. It's hard to grasp the changes that have taken place (besides my wrinkles—smile). http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=53302&columnid=3607 Thu, 1 May 2008 00:00:00 -0400 When war began to break out in Kenya, well-meaning friends cautioned, “Better not go now.” Word came from the land of the Masai in Kenya, “We need you. Come!” The Holy Spirit said “Go now!” and we did. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=44798&columnid=3607 Tue, 1 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0400 We are nearing the 10,000 student level around the world. We send out two powerful and practical lessons each month by e-mail—and the reports that come back are thrilling. Christians are turning into disciples and disciples into leaders. http://www.shalomworldwide.org/articles_view.asp?articleid=42760&columnid=3607 Fri, 1 Feb 2008 00:00:00 -0400
