40-Year Friend: Beware of Evil Reports Regarding Mike Bickle
Years ago, I had a divine appointment with Billy Graham and asked for advice. Pointing to his Bible, he said, “Stay in the book!”
Let’s do just that as we consider a fresh look at the challenging situation Christian leader Mike Bickle currently faces.
A month ago, allegations were raised by a group alleging Bickle conducted himself in untoward ways requiring investigation and possible disciplinary measures.
Tragedy Strikes as Church Bombing Claims Multiple Lives
A horrific attack unfolded on Sunday morning at the Mindanao State University gymnasium in Marawi City, Philippines, during a Catholic Mass, resulting in the death of four individuals and leaving over 50 injured, according to media reports.

Unity in Christ: Reflections on the Flat Earth Debate
On a chilly Saturday evening, the tent of Global Vision Bible Church in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, echoed with passionate arguments as Pastors Greg Locke and Dean Odle engaged in a heated debate over a question that has come back to prominence in recent years—is the earth flat or a sphere? While many anticipated a civil but passionate debate grounded in biblical and scientific evidence, what unfolded was a dramatic clash of ideas that ended with an abrupt halt, police intervention and a shattered sense of unity.
Both Pastor Locke and Pastor Odle, deeply rooted in their convictions, believed their positions were biblically sound. Locke argued for a spherical earth, drawing on scientific evidence and interpreting biblical passages that he believed supported his viewpoint. On the other side, Pastor Odle presented a flat earth perspective, also claiming biblical backing and scientific evidence as well as subject matter experts who were in the audience.
The debate, lasting more than four intense hours, saw emotions running high as each pastor fervently defended his position. Unfortunately, these emotions eventually boiled over, the event collapsing in an abrupt end and subsequent chaos with unconfirmed reports of drug use in the parking lot and property damage to vehicles.
The Ancient Mystery Behind Hamas’ Invasion
In a recent revelation, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn shared a profound mystery predicting the recent Hamas invasion in Israel, disclosed the night before the events transpired. During a Friday night service at Beth Israel, Rabbi Cahn delved into an ancient mystery foretelling an attack on Israel with specific details, documented in the transcript from his video message.
Rooted in God’s instructions to Moses about the Jubilee over 3,000 years ago, the mystery signifies restoration and the return of ancestral possessions every 50 years. Rabbi Cahn meticulously traced this jubilean pattern through critical moments in Israel’s history, revealing a divine orchestration that defies human comprehension.
The mystery first surfaced in 1897 when Theodore Herzl proclaimed the founding of the Jewish state, predicting its recognition by the world in 50 years. This set the stage for the U.N. vote in 1947 that brought Israel back into existence. Rabbi Cahn connects these dots, illustrating the precision with which the mystery unfolds. {eoa}
