The War Has Begun

Published by C. Read on 16 Heshvan 5780 (14 November 2019)

On 9-10 November 1938, 16 Heshvan 5699 (Hebrew Dated), eighty-one years ago, a wave of violent anti-Jewish pogroms spread throughout Germany, annexed Austria, and in areas of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia recently occupied by German troops.

Forty Years!

Published by C. Read on 9 Heshvan 5780 (7 November 2019)

7 November 2019 Today is the 40th Anniversary of when I committed my life to the Lord Jesus Christ, and I love and adore Him more than ever! He is such a wonderful Saviour, and I pray that I will be “always faithful” to my dear God! The “great falling away” as foretold in the Holy Scriptures is taking place in our day, and it is so distressing to see it happening, but…

Published by C. Read on 28 Tishri 5780 (27 October 2019)

26 October 2019 / 27 Tishrei 5780 The following message (edited for privacy) is one that all God’s people can benefit from if they will listen and believe my testimoony. I sent this to members of my small Baptist Church that I belonged to at that time, and other Christians. What is happening in our congregation is going on all over the country and the world for that matter. Churches are being…

Those Who Sleep in Jesus

Published by C. Read on 12 Tishri 5780 (11 October 2019)

I wrote this poem for a dear family the day after they lost their beloved teen aged daughter in a tragic one-car accident. They said it helped to relieve some of the pain in the midst of their grief. It is my prayer that these words will comfort those who are facing the death of a loved one. It can be a terribly dark and lonely place to be, but thank God…

In Memory of William Tyndale (1494-1536)

Published by C. Read on 7 Tishri 5780 (6 October 2019)

6 October 2019 / 7 Tishrei 5780 William Tyndale’s famous last words before he was strangled to death and burned at the stake on 6 October 1536 was: “LORD, open the King of England’s eyes.” His “crime?” He translated the original Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of the Holy Scriptures into the English language so that the “common man” could read and understand the Word of God too! The following is an excerpt…

Not Forgotten

Published by C. Read on 7 Sivan 5779 (10 June 2019)

6 Sivan 5779 / 9 June 2019 / Feast of Pentecost I just cannot let this day go by without saying that I have not forgotten that today is the anniversary of when God gave His Commandments to Moses on Mount Sinai, as written by God’s own hand (Exodus 19-20). It was also at Pentecost that God poured out His Spirit upon those who were waiting for Him (Acts 2), in fulfillment…

What if You Are Wrong?

Published by C. Read on 5 Sivan 5779 (8 June 2019)

8 June 2019 / 5 Sivan 5779 / 49th Day of the Omer I once posed that question to a Jewish Rabbi during an introductory course on Judaism, regarding his beliefs about Jesus. I don’t remember his response, but I know that he sensed my sincerity. What a person truly believes about the Son of God, and His great sacrifice, has such profound implications; and even though I am sure that I…

Proclamation of Faith

Published by C. Read on 4 Sivan 5779 (7 June 2019)

6 June 2019 / 4 Sivan 5779 / 48th Day of the Omer Today is the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. It was the beginning of the end of a horribly evil time in the history of the world. Satan is still loose, and claiming a lot of lives! And he wants YOU! The “wicked one” takes great pleasure in bringing down a Christian, so that he can bring shame and disgrace to…
