Dear Brothers and Sisters, I announced some weeks back that ministering to men and women in prison has been placed upon my heart by the Father. I have been seeking the Father to know His will in this matter, and I have been led to produce materials that can be sent to men and women who are in...

Joseph Herrin (02-25-2010) Every now and then I feel compelled to comment on issues in the news. There is so much going on in this hour. The end of the age is at hand, and the earth must go through her birth pangs as the sons of God are revealed. Many things are being set in place for the...

Joseph Herrin (10-23-2010) Perhaps you have considered that the practice of Syncretism that has been revealed in this series is the opposite of the separation that God has always required of a people who will be holy unto Him. Syncretism is the mixing of the holy and profane. It is to travel in a...

Joseph Herrin (02-22-2010) This is the most important post of this series, for in it I will address the motive behind the practice of syncretism. Without any doubt in my mind, understanding this matter will be a key issue for all who would walk as overcomers in these last days. As I have meditated...

Joseph Herrin (02-21-2010) Before sharing some of the comments to the present series on Syncretism, I want to speak on the subject of this Blog’s intended audience. When in High School and College, my English teachers used to tell the students that they needed to have a clear idea of the audience...

Joseph Herrin (02-19-2010) The practice of syncretism, of mixing the abominable practices, symbols and doctrines of idolatrous religions with the teaching of Christ and His apostles is clearly observable to all who care to examine the matter. One need only look at any of a multitude of things in...

Joseph Herrin (02-17-2010) Symbol of Tanit - Fertility Goddess The symbol above is found at many ancient ruins where the Lunar goddess Tanit, also known as Ashtoreth, Astarte and Ishtar, was worshiped. It is the symbol of “the queen of heaven,” whose original was the Babylonian Semiramis, wife of...

Joseph Herrin (02-15-2010) Egyptian Obelisk in St. Peter’s Square from St. Peter’s Basilica An obelisk is an object of pagan Sun worship. The word obelisk means “shaft of Bel” (Baal). Nimrod, was known as Baal in various nations and tongues, and he was pictured as the Sun. The Sun was worshiped in...

Joseph Herrin (02-12-2010) It is only possible to accept that the picture above is an image of what Christ intended His church to be if one has become divorced from the truth. To be divorced from the truth is the definition of the word apostasy. II Thessalonians 2:1-3 Now we request you, brethren,...

Note: Some have written to me to express various opinions on this teaching series, of which only the first part has yet been posted. Some are concerned that the definition of Babylon and coming out of her is too narrow if applied only to rites and symbols such as those of Easter and Christmas....

(02-09-2010) Note: I want to share a link to an excellent post by Art, a brother in Christ. His insights drawn from his experience of running a 100 mile race where horses competed alongside humans is highly insightful. His experience also has great application to the coming hour of distress when...

Joseph Herrin (02-08-2010) Final Score New Orleans Saints 31 - Indianapolis Colts 17 As I sit down to write this my computer clock reports that the time is 22:22. The Weather Channel gadget on my iGoogle homepage reports that the temperature where I sit is 44 degrees. The Colts led during the...

Joseph Herrin (02-03-2010) Perhaps you have noted the tiniest hint of frustration in my recent posts. Okay, maybe there has been a LOT of frustration. Do you know that our heavenly Father will at times drive us to frustration that we might begin to cry out for that which is lacking in our life?...

Joseph Herrin (02-02-2010) Many Hands Make Light Work Although the picture above represents a pun on this old proverb, I felt it was appropriate for what I desire to convey. Ministering the light and life of Christ to others is never an individual matter. This is especially true among the BODY of...

Joseph Herrin (02-01-2010) One thing that provokes me is when Christians fail to exert themselves to study a matter carefully to discern truth from error. I was speaking to a brother in Christ on this topic yesterday, and I found myself speaking with much emotion. I related to him the deep concern...
