God’s Plan of the Ages – An Orderly Reconciliation

God’s Plan of the Ages – An Orderly Reconciliation

Joseph Herrin (10-28-2011) One of the greatest stumbling blocks keeping Christians from embracing the testimony found in the Scriptures that Yahweh will reconcile all things to Himself through His Son is that we do not see all things reconciled at this time. The concept resident in the minds of...

God’s Plan of the Ages – The Cycle of Creation

God’s Plan of the Ages – The Cycle of Creation

Joseph Herrin (10-27-2011) Ecclesiastes 1:5-7 The sun rises and the sun sets; And hastening to its place it rises there again.  Blowing toward the south, then turning toward the north, the wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns. All the rivers flow into...

God’s Plan of the Ages – Then Comes the End

God’s Plan of the Ages – Then Comes the End

Joseph Herrin (10-26-2011) It may seem odd to begin a book with a chapter that focuses on the end, but there is a good purpose in doing so. When Yahweh set forth to form the creation He had the end and culmination of all His works in mind. He had determined from the beginning of the creation what...

God’s Plan of the Ages – The Need For Revision

The Way to Life – Suffering as True Worship

Joseph Herrin (10-16-2011) I can think of no better way to end this series on suffering and discipleship than to reveal the relationship between suffering and the worship of Yahweh. As with many of the church’s teachings in this hour, truth has fallen by the wayside. It is needful at this hour to...

The Way to Life – Suffering’s Role in Spiritual Growth

I should be discharged from the hospital the same day. Thank you for your continued prayers in this...

Update

Brothers and sisters have been writing to ask if I am still in the hospital and how I am doing. I was released from the hospital last Friday having been admitted on the preceding Monday. I had procedures done on Monday and Wednesday of last week to clean the wound on the inside of my left ankle...

The Way to Life – Part Nine – The God Who Wounds

Joseph Herrin (10-06-2011) Note: I am writing this from the hospital. Following a doctor’s appointment Monday, the doctor brought me back into the hospital due to infection around the site of the compound fracture I recently sustained. He needed to cleanse the area and cut away all of the dead...

The Way to Life – The Christian Life as Tragedy

You are probably familiar with the genre of writing known as tragedy. Some famous examples of this form of writing are William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and Macbeth. One definition for the writing form known as Tragedy is, “any literary composition, as a novel, dealing with a somber theme...

Injury and Recovery

Injury and Recovery

Joseph Herrin (09-29-2011)  Having heard about the accident I had when an elderly lady in her 90s ran into me while I was riding my motorcycle in Macon, some wrote to ask about the motorcycle. They were curious whether it had sustained damage, and was still functional. I imagine that the...

The Way to Life – Part Seven – The Privilege of Persecution

Joseph Herrin (09-28-2011) Luke 6:22-23 “Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and cast insults at you, and spurn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. Be glad in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven.” In recent days two separate...

Joseph Herrin (09-26-2011) Comet Elenin Back in April I began a series titled Under the Microscope in which I urged the saints to test carefully the many conspiracy theories and doomsday prophecies that are so rampant in this hour.

The Way to Life – Part Five – Sharing in the Sufferings of Christ

Joseph Herrin (09-19-2011) The union of Christ and His body is a great mystery. Much has been written and preached regarding the oneness of Christ and those saints who comprise His body. One aspect of our identification with Christ that has been largely neglected, especially in this late hour at...

The Way to Life – Part Four  – Suffering Saints

The Way to Life – Part Four – Suffering Saints

Joseph Herrin (09-16-2011) There is a great deception that Satan has foisted upon multitudes of Christians who are eager to accept it. The foundation of this deception is the belief that God wants Christians to have happy, materially abundant, pleasurable lives free of poverty, poor health,...

A Season of Injury

A Season of Injury

Joseph Herrin (09-09-2011) On Tuesday of this week (September 6, 2011) I spent the morning writing the previous post titled “Why Does God Require Christians to Suffer?” Little did I anticipate that before the day was over I would be entering into a further season of suffering. In the afternoon I...

The Way to Life – Why Does God Require Christians to Suffer?

The Way to Life – Why Does God Require Christians to Suffer?

Joseph Herrin (09-06-2011) The inescapable message proclaimed by Christ and His apostles is that Yahweh has appointed unto men that they suffer many things in this life. This truth is affirmed through the most common image associated with Christianity; the cross. The cross is an instrument of...

Special Note: Ruth Elias, a sister in Christ, has offered to make available at no charge copies of the Psalms recorded on CD. These are professional quality recordings that her father, Charles Koomruian, a retired minister, made not long ago. I have had a copy of this recording for some time. I...

The Way to Life – What Is Christ’s Invitation to You?

Note: I had anticipated heading down to South Georgia at this time to begin going into some prisons to minister to the men there. However, the Father has shown me that the time has not yet arrived for me to do so. He would have me to get some further things ready in preparation for the in-depth...

Days of Grace – Part Two

Joseph Herrin (08-29-2011) Special Note:  I have had a number of people write to me asking for further clarification on the previous post that spoke of the cost of discipleship. The most common question is whether it is necessary for everyone to surrender everything they have to be Christ's...

The Invitation

Joseph Herrin (08-28-2011) The Father is showing me that a pattern is being played out among the body of Christ.

Opening of the Prison Doors

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The Prison doors swung open today in a very sudden and unanticipated fashion and I was released.
