Living with Venezuela’s high inflation

"As the world watches the Greek debt crisis unfold, the economy of a country in another corner of the planet is also struggling, and some experts are even trying to draw similarities. Venezuela has the world's highest inflation, leaving many facing shortages and soaring prices. While the government of president Nicolas Maduro says this is the result of an 'economic war by capitalists and the United States against the country's socialist revolution', critics say the high inflation rate is simply showing the government's economic incompetence. The BBC's Daniel Pardo explains how inflation affects what Venezuelans buy every day, like the popular snack called Arepa." Continue reading →

Bible Stumbling Blocks by Jesse C. Jones

The chapters in this book are about eight different subjects that seemed to me worth collecting into this volume: 1) believing or not believing what the Bible says about God; 2) Jesus taking our sins; 3) biblical forgiveness; 4) temptation(s), 5) the rapture/resurrection of God’s elect 6) when does God give the Holy Spirit, 7) strongholds, and 8) dead or alive. Although I (Jesse C. Jones) know that God has led me to write on many different subjects, and has given me guidance and insight in the writing, I do not know if others can, or will, accept this writing as truth from God’s Word. I have attempted to accurately interpret what the KJV of the Bible records on the subjects God has led me to, but in many cases what I have written differs from accepted Bible exposition. I hope that readers will be led to check everything I have written against God’s Holy Bible. If they do, this writing will certainly have achieved one of God’s purposes in putting me on this path. God has taught me much about Himself during this time, and that may be the purpose He had in convincing me to undertake this task: I have been greatly blessed by doing His will in this effort. The book is 171 pages.

Weighed in the Balances by Jesse C. Jones

Weighed in the Balances traces the path of a natural man becoming a spiritual man. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 says, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.” The book is 69 pages.

50 States Worth of Harry Reid’s “Liars”

Tow Dog blogheader

Lying liars, all. Why do it? It’s easily proven false, so why come out as Harry Reid did and call a majority of Americans liars? Because they can, and won’t be questioned by the nightly news. They care about one thing – power to rule over you. They know what’s best for you.

Can God by Known? by Jesse C Jones

The wisdom of God is obviously beyond our comprehension, but with His book (the Bible), and guidance from the Holy Spirit, we may be able to grasp at least an inkling of His nature, as it relates to bringing some to eternal life. This is the task undertaken in this book. I can only pray that what is documented here accurately describes God’s purposes, thoughts, and understanding in this great mystery, so that some insight concerning these things can be conveyed to readers. This book is 86 pages.

Has God Divorced America? by Jesse C Jones

I recently came across a prophecy by David Wilkerson having to do with the state of our nation, and its need for revival. He pointed out that we cannot have faith for revival unless we are convinced that God still wants to pour out His Spirit upon us. He makes his point here by comparing America to Judah, the Southern Kingdom of the Jews, after the Northern Kingdom of Israel had been conquered by Sargon, King of Assyria, in 722 B.C. “God had already divorced Israel, giving them . . . a certificate of divorce” (Jeremiah. 3:8). But now His attention was on Judah, a people who had cheated on Him and walked away from him. God still had a heart for Judah, and He came to them crying to see the certificate of divorce (see Isa. 50:1). He was saying, ‘Show Me your divorce papers! Prove to Me I ever put you away. It was you who walked away from Me! I did nothing to grieve or hurt you. I loved you the whole time. I came to you and I called to you!’ ” Editor's Note: This book was written before the overturn of Roe vs Wade in June 2022.

The Mystery of God by Jesse C Jones

This book presents an analysis of the biblical scriptures that prophesy events that must come about just before and after Jesus Christ returns to earth in the clouds to gather His elect in what is referred to as the rapture/resurrection. His coming to earth occurs in two phases: 1) to gather those identified in the Bible as the elect given to Him by God the Father, and 2) to bring Satan’s rule as prince of this world to an end by defeating his hordes at the battle of Armageddon. It is the first phase of Christ’s coming that is the focus of this writing.

James Altucher: How To Break All The Rules And Get Everything You Want

"The key is that we were simply nice to everyone and didn't argue and were very thankful at everything we got to do. Don't break the laws. Don't kill people. Don't steal. But most other rules can be bent. If you act like the river, you ultimately flow past all the rocks along the way." Continue reading →
