God Smacked

God Smacked By: Wendy Wippel "Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives" (Hebrews 12:6). Not a warm fuzzy verse but one that speaks of His love. And we've all recognized God's discipline once or twice. But has God ever reached out and slapped you…

Blind Date

Blind Date By: Wendy Wippel Agnostic Israeli physicist Leon Lederman, asked by Orthodox physicist Gerald Schroder if anything in history was unexplainable by science, had this to offer: "Israel back in the land is kind of spooky." Which (again) begs the question: Why don't today's secular Jews see God's hand…

Hadrian’s Plow

Hadrian's Plow By: Wendy Wippel We all know the Great Diaspora happened in 70 AD, when the Jews fled Roman destruction of both the city of Jerusalem and its Temple. That was pretty much the end of Israel, right? Nope. It actually lasted about another 65 years. And those years…

Heartbreak Hotel

Heartbreak Hotel By: Wendy Wippel Remember Westboro Baptist Church? Best known for fervent and frequent protests of homosexuality? And all things related, which is pretty much everything that isn’t Westboro Baptist Church? (Even Swedish vacuum cleaners. Don’t ask.) Well, good news. (Maybe.) They finally diversified. Last month, and right here…

Truth or Consequences

Truth or Consequences By: Wendy Wippel It was Edmund Burke who observed that "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" - an insight whose fulfillment unfortunately, has also been repeated. Our generation, too, must learn from history--particularly from one particularly costly moment. Will we? Let's hope…

Gog, Reloaded

Gog, Reloaded By: Wendy Wippel Last week's topic: with Russian ships in the Mediterranean, it's pretty hard to deny the potential for some serious prophetic doings (prophetic doings a la Ezekiel 38 and 39) in our future. Been there, wrote that, and intended to move on. But I'm back. Because…

All Agog

All Agog By: Wendy Wippel Dateline: last week. The Feds are charged with partiality (IRS), persecution (AP), and profound perfidy (Benghazi). (And just where was Obama the night of September 11?) Throw in a near billion dollar lottery payout and it was news junky heaven. But the really startling news…

Armageddon, According to Bruce (And John)

Armageddon, According to Bruce (And John) By: Wendy Wippel Revelation is the only book that promises blessing to its students, and I guess that's because it is, admittedly, a pretty difficult book to tackle. Take the seals, for instance. And those trumpets and bowls. What the heck is that all…

A Matter of Matter

A Matter of Matter By: Wendy Wippel Matter is defined (at least by science) as everything that has mass and occupies space. Translation: everything you see. (And some of what you don't.) So you're an expert on matter! But what you might not know about matter is this: it's a…

Mystery Lady

Mystery Lady By: Wendy Wippel Most Bible scholars know that when Jesus (or Paul) used the word "mystery", they weren’t talking Agatha Christie. The word had a slightly different meaning then. They were, however, talking about a woman of sorts, one we all know very well. Yep. We have met…
