Xmas? Is it “Christmas” or is it “Xmas”? Or do they both mean the same thing? Many would say it’s wrong to substitute Xmas for Christmas. Some say it makes no difference. How about you? Does the annual celebration we call Christmas make any difference in your life?  If Christmas doesn’t make a difference in yourContinue reading “December 2015: Xmas?”

Anastasia! [Note:  this is the conclusion of a two-part series begun last month.] For many, many years, I’ve taught again and again . . . and again (in person and in print) that we are in Jesus.  We are permanently fused and connected with Him in his death and burial.  Likewise, we became permanently in Him when He was raised fromContinue reading “November 2015: Anastasia, Part Two”

Good Morning.  Wake Up! I love the way the word “Anastasia” sounds when it’s pronounced as the Germans or Russians pronounce it.  It has a mysterious, yet clear ring to it when pronounced the way they do.  There was a time when Anastasia was a popular name chosen for a newborn female baby, but it’s notContinue reading “October 2015: Good Morning! Wake Up! Part One”

In the first issue of The Traveler in September 2009, we wrote:  “Each of us is a traveler through the eons of time and beyond—into our final, eternal state of being!” Yes, we are all on a journey, a sojourn, a pilgrimage.  We are all wayfarers, wanderers, and “visitors” journeying through this life toward our True HomeContinue reading “September 2015: Happy Sixth Anniversary”

NOTE:  This issue continues the series we began last February.  We’ve combined the June and July issues.  Some Alternative Views Let’s look at some fact-based, alternative views of “end times” or “last days” in contrast to the gloom and doom views that everything is getting worse and worse.  For example, there are some people who feelContinue reading “June and July 2015: Last Days!?”

NOTE:  For the next couple of months I’ll be teaching some concepts which will complete what we wrote in the February and March issues.  After the two controversial issues of The Traveler in February and March, I believe God wants me to follow up those issues with some more controversial thoughts the next few months . .Continue reading “May 2015: Last Days?!”

Got LIFE NOTE: This month’s issue of The Traveler is sort of a parenthesis between some months I’m teaching about the “last days.” I’ll resume that teaching next month. As I visit with various Jesus believers and pre-believers here and there in person and by correspondence and e-mail around the world, I find that manyContinue reading “April 2015: Got LIFE”

Continued from last month Last month we introduced the biblical subject of the “last days,” suggesting the real last days likely occurred 2,000 years ago during the lifetimes of Jesus and his early followers.  Now, let’s examine some biblical references to support that suggestion.  I’m not trying to push this view on you, merely asking youContinue reading “March 2015: Last Days?!”

I already anticipate some of the mean-spirited, nasty e-mails and similar responses I will receive about this issue of The Traveler.  I read all responses I receive each month, but I throw away all the mean, nasty ones after I read them.  And I honestly appreciate those types of responses, as well as the positive and encouraging onesContinue reading “February 2015: Last Days!?”
