Dark Eden

Did you know there is a place called Blood Falls in Antarctica?

In the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a remarkably blood-like flow oozes out of the ice and down the tongue of Taylor Glacier onto the frozen surface of West Lake Bonney. 

Below its strange geography lies a biological mystery scientists call "Dark Eden," the perfect place to begin the story of a world that has lost its soul as it rages on a collision course with justice. The novel Blood Falls pulls back the veil on a fascinating and fresh portrayal of the end of an age. CMADDICT.com has done an amazing job of producing the audio of the Preface and 1st chapter of the book. 

Why post a book about the Apocalypse on a website devoted to the celebration of Life?

Because I'm the author of the book, and I'm an ardent supporter of the pro-life movement...from the moment of conception to the natural end of the physical body. The novel Blood Falls reflects that in both concept and mission. Though it deals with hard issues in the fictional depiction of God's judgment upon an apostate world, God is always in the business of bringing life out of death. Even as He pours out His indignation upon the evil in the land, He is always working to bring humanity to Him. 

When I wrote this book, I wept as I penned the words to Chapter 35: Rachel's Gift. I still weep every time I read it. 

This chapter stirs my soul because it declares that God is Life. He's the King of the living. He rejoices in bringing life out of death. 

We honor Him when we get the message.

The coming Tribulation will not include alien zombies and purple skies.

 

The events portrayed in the prophetic portions of Scripture have been tortured until they hardly resemble anything modern folks can appreciate or take seriously. The day is fast approaching, however, when they will come upon the earth, exactly as predicted by the Bible. 

In real time. In this age. 

Those who have already accepted the gift of life offered in the sacrifice and resurrection of God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, will escape the tribulation of the Apocalypse before it begins. Those who waited, however, will still have the opportunity to choose life, though at great cost.

If it was ever the time to investigate what the Bible has to say about the future of Earth, the time is now.

He Is Risen, Indeed!

Where has the time gone? It has been a hard ten months since our lives entered a place of deep testing and trial. I have posted little about it, mostly because there has been scarce time or energy for reflection. The love and prayers of those who know us have carried us through the valley of the shadow. 

In this valley, it often looked like there was no way out. Thank God for His grace, comfort, and deliverance!

This Easter, we are tired. Our celebration will be quieter. But our joy is greater, having seen the sustaining and healing power of the One who conquered the grave. In His resurrection, He destroyed the plans of the evil one in our lives and lavished us with hope. 

I will be sharing more as God gives me opportunity. For now, I rejoice at the reminder of His victory and cry out with the hosts of heaven:

"Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."

Have a beautiful Resurrection Day.
