Terror in America: Hamas Style!
By
Jim Fletcher
An hour ago, at least two bombs were detonated at the site of the Boston Marathon. Of course, information continues to come in, but some reports are that the bombs had ball bearings. That is classic jihadist terrorist. This reminds me of the terror Israel has endured since the (in)famous Oslo Accords were signed. In…
Happy Birthday, Israel!
By
Jim Fletcher
In 1882, the first wave of modern Jewish immigration to Palestine began. Today, it is the land of Israel, eight million souls nestled in a tiny but vibrant country. I’ve been blessed to have visited several times and find it to be not only an exciting country, but also quite safe. Much to the frustration…
Egyptian against Egyptian
By
Jim Fletcher
“And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.” (Isaiah 19:2) Egypt is famous for many things, including an ancient civilization that paid homage to a pantheon of gods. Many people are not…
Mid-America Prophecy Conference
By
Jim Fletcher
One of the oldest prophecy conferences in the world just wrapped up the 2013 gathering, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was great to see old friends. I am proud of them for continuing to teach this incredible message, especially in the face of continuing marginalization by the evangelical community. Younger speakers and researchers like Paul Wilkinson…
Mismatch
By
Jim Fletcher
His red jersey, with the white no. 5, blended perfectly with the green carpet. It was the first real football game I’d ever been to, November 30, 1974. My father and I drove down to Norman, Oklahoma on the coldest day I ever remember. We would watch our beloved Sooners try to nail-down a perfect…
Prayer by Night
By

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. (Matthew 26:39)
Those Crazy Creationists
By
Jim Fletcher
Last week I had the opportunity to tour the Creation Museum, a $30 million spectacular near Cincinnati. The brainchild of well-known creationist Ken Ham, the museum bears no resemblance to the backwoods, knuckle-dragging reputation that Bible believers “enjoy” in today’s culture. The compelling displays and no-expense-spared quality of the museum is somewhat stunning, even for…
The Valley of Decision
By
Jim Fletcher
It’s quaint today, to watch an old movie that speaks to values of yesteryear. It is true that man has always been evil, but today it seems that immorality is out of control. In the 1945 film, “The Valley of Decision,” Greer Garson’s character listens to a letter written from a nephew, who has gotten…
Mission of Hope
By
Jim Fletcher
Ten years ago today, the crew of the space shuttle Columbia was lost; a punctured wing broke up during re-entry, and the nation mourned another space tragedy. The loss of life also opened a window into a story several decades in the making. The whole thing has now been told in a new PBS film,…
The Second Coming…?
By
Jim Fletcher
It perhaps isn’t a surprise that Newsweek has gone all-digital. That means the magazine’s footprint is getting smaller. A recent cover shows how far removed the editorial board is from reality (although it fits their leftist worldview). Barack Obama has been tagged as a (the?) messiah for some time. Yet when a cover story by…
