This got our attention. "Expecting the Possibility" - New message from Steve Martin, Love For His People

 

Sept. 17, 2025 Greetings to you once again. We all know it was a tough week as a mighty warrior for the Lord Jesus was assassinated. Charlie Kirk served faithfully, and his promised reward was given in heaven. Good for you, Charlie. We too stand with you and family. My message below, "Expecting the Possibility", is not for the faint of heart. But we must be ready. I hope you are along with me. Ahava and Shalom, Steve Martin Love For His People Ministry P.S. The day draws nigh. Our upcomg three month volunteer trip to Israel for Laurie and I is Oct. 15, 2025-Jan. 12, 2026. Please be praying for us. We sure would appreciate that. Israel Photo of the Week: Orthodox Rabbi Tuly Weisz, Founder of TeachForIsrael, Israel365, and the editor of "The Israel Bible", was very hospitable to me while in their office in Bet Shemesh, Israel, on Nov. 8, 2022. I was even invited to stay for their weekly special staff lunch. Sushi!   Expecting the Possibility “When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained;” (Revelation 6:9, NASB) As the days get darker, and the light continues to fade in the spiritual realm in many circles, there comes the time when believers in Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, must know of the possibilities facing us. We are in a spiritual battle, and it is not going away anytime soon. We won’t be raptured out of here before that time, and we too may be martyred before the Lord’s return to Jerusalem. (I hope you don’t stop reading…) It has happened since the time of Yeshua’s death on the cross, and to the followers that carried on His message of repentance, forgiveness, and everlasting life that follows this life on earth. For those who believe until the end; for those who do not turn their backs on the truth in His Word, that is the promise we hold onto. Others will not. “Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people. (2 Timothy 3:1-5, The Message) Charlie Kirk, the young man of 31, married to Erika with two kids under the age of 4, was martyred on Sept. 10, 2025, because of his faith in the Lord Jesus, and his stand for biblical principles, including Israel. The Lord had given him a strong message of faith, conviction, and courage to take to his generation, and it will continue as promised by his wife and staff of Turning Point USA. And I do hope many others will pick up this mantle and do the same. Personally, when my wife and I went on a Bible-carrying trip to China, as undercover “tourists” in 2002 with Derek Prince Ministries, I was prepared, even then of the possibility of not coming back, should we have been caught by the Communist government. The ten of us from the USA and the UK, carrying Mandarin Chinese Bibles and Derek’s translated books, snuck in these precious, truth-bearing materials to the underground church leaders. If caught, they and us would have faced dire consequences.    Prior to departure, I left a note in my DPM office desk, saying that if I do not return, what to do with my belongings. Not so great of a will at the time, but true. I included the word “martyrdom” as I believed it was a possibility and was prepared for it. I still am today. We must expect the possibility and be prepared for it. As the Lord calls us to stand for His truth in a world of hatred and violence, don’t be deceived thinking otherwise. Determine now that you will be among the ones standing for the Lord and on His Word.

Love For His People" Steve Martin (444 pages, 372 photos/images) Remains #1 on the Amazon New Releases List for "Jerusalem Travel Guides". (And I am not a tour guide.) In several of my previous 38 books, I wrote stories and chapters on Israel and our friends in the Land.

“No Christian could have said this better than Mr. Stein who is a Jew."

Ben Stein

“No Christian could have said this better than Mr. Stein who is a Jew. Beautiful. If you consider yourself a CHRISTIAN, READ IT, IF NOT, JUST DELETE IT AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW, EXCEPT MAYBE YOU! I only hope we find GOD again before it is too late." Jesse Calendar Nov. 29, 2012 Facebook

Editor's Note: This was reposted on Facebook following the assasination and martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry founder.

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.

My confession:

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat...

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school... The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about.. And we said okay..

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit.

If not, then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

Lion of Judah Roars: His Name is Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach Hardcover – December 14, 2022

“Thus says the LORD, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’ Zechariah 8:1

Our Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, promised before He left earth the first time, from Jerusalem, Israel, that when He returns the second time it also will be to Jerusalem, the city that has His Name written on it. He is not returning to New York City, Moscow, Beijing, London, Paris, or Chicago.

He is returning, as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, to Jerusalem, the Golden City, the Holy City, the City of Truth.

The Lion of Judah is coming back, to rule and reign over the nations, setting up His kingdom, made up of Jews and Gentiles that have acknowledged His Kingship and know Him as their Redeemer, the Savior of their soul.

The following chapters speak of the life that we can live in the here and now, as we await His return. We are not looking for the “escape out of this hell”, raptured away before the Great Tribulation as we have been so falsely taught since the late 1890s.

Jesus Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, is seated on His heavenly throne, but His soon return will be made known. Now is the time for us to see what He is doing, how He is doing it, and "get on board" as Bob Dylan sang in the 70s. We are working while there is still day, to accomplish His plan and purposes for our life and the nation He has placed us in now. Anticipate, prepare, be about the Father’s business, even as Jesus did.

That is what we are called to do. And then we will see the Lion of Judah ROAR!

"Expecting the Possibility" by Steve Martin, Love For His People Ministry

Expecting the Possibility

“When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained;” (Revelation 6:9, NASB)

As the days get darker, and the light continues to fade in the spiritual realm in many circles, there comes the time when believers in Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, must know of the possibilities facing us. We are in a spiritual battle, and it is not going away anytime soon. We won’t be raptured out of here before that time, and we too may be martyred before the Lord’s return to Jerusalem. (I hope you don’t stop reading…)

It has happened since the time of Yeshua’s death on the cross, and to the followers that carried on His message of forgiveness, repentance, and everlasting life that follows this life on earth. For those who believe until the end; for those who do not turn their backs on the truth in His Word, that is the promise we hold onto. Others will not.

“Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead.
