Update 2019: Articles Most Read
You will notice that
all of these most read articles are dated from the year 2016, when I did an expositional study in Isaiah. Therefore, most of these articles are from that book. That year we had a great upsurge in visitors
to our English blog and, naturally, they mostly read the current articles. Visits
to some excellent older articles were outnumbered, and therefore I will
continue to provide their titles, dates and links, which appear after the 10
most read articles up to June of 2018, followed by the update to June of this
year.
The order changes a bit, when the numbers are updated and also a new article appears among the ten. The update to 2019 also provides a short summary of each article and I do the same for the older articles below them. I hope, if you have not read these articles, that you will take time to do so.
Our grandson, John,
created this blogspot in 2011 and so the statistics are dated from that time. As
of today, the total number of visits to this English blog has risen to 149,749.
This past year we have had 25,498 visits. When we add the visits to our Spanish
blogspot, the total number of visits increases to 401,458 and the number over
the last year to 75,378 (obviously, we have many more Spanish than English
readers).

The Ten Most Read Articles from 2019:
1. Hezekiah’s Illness and
Error 11/04/16
This study covers both
chapter 38 and 39 of Isaiah. It includes an attempt to explain a very
complicated issue concerning the sovereign will of God.
2. A Mighty Move of
God 10/26/16
This is a study of
Isaiah, chapter 37, with subtitles: Judah humbles itself before God; Jerusalem
honors God above all; The house of prayer; The answer from God through Isaiah;
and A mighty move of God.
3. Divine Power and
Attributes 11/17/16
Here
is one of the most powerful chapters in the book of Isaiah… chapter 40. It
begins with these words from the Almighty, “Comfort, comfort my people!” You
know this chapter particularly, because of its last verse: “They that wait upon
the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
4. Eight Tactics of the
Enemy 10/22/16
This
is an important study about how the enemy works against the minds and lives of
God’s people to this day. It is from Isaiah 36.
5. Blessing Follows the
Curse 10/13/16
My comments on chapter
34 and 35 of Isaiah, verse-by-verse, learning as the Holy Spirit teaches us
from His textbook. It is wonderful to see, throughout the Bible, that the
Lord’s stories have good endings!
6. The Syndrome of
Hubris 10/01/16
The subject of this
article is one that I most frequently bring up in preaching these days.
Understanding this Greek term Hubris, helps us to understand
what is happening in the minds and hearts of many “Christian” leaders in our
times.
7. Spurgeon, Ryle and the Jews 12/17/16
Towards the end of the
20th Century, two men of God saw that His promises, given to the
Jews by their prophets, must be fulfilled. These specifically referred to their
return to the Promised Land. Around that time the Zionist Movement began, in
which the God of Israel placed in the heart of His people to return to
Palestine.
8. Only God Foretells the Future 12/05/16
One of the reasons
that Christians have determined that the Bible is the Word of God, is due to
prophecies that have literally been fulfilled. A high percentage of the
biblical writings are prophetic. There are over 300 details concerning the
coming Messiah in the Old Testament, which were literally fulfilled. Prophecies
have been astoundingly fulfilled in the past century and this will go one until
the end of time.
9. New Serbian
Blog! 9/08/16
This article over the
efforts of the Serbians to create their own blogspot is very encouraging. They
are providing excellent literature for believers in their country. How pleased I am to see good literature available to serious
Christians, who love truth and are hungry to receive something, with which to
be spiritually enriched!
10. Zion’s Sinners and Righteous Ones 9/13/16
Zion will be literally
restored in the Millennium, but today it serves as a type of the church. In the
parables of Jesus, He made it very clear that the Kingdom of God, revealed on
earth, is imperfect. There are sinners in Zion among the righteous and from
time to time they are exposed.
In addition:
I want to bring to
your attention older articles, written previous to 2016, which received
hundreds of visits. If you have never read them, I greatly encourage you to do
so. A short summary is given for each one…
1. Matt Luneau Writes about
Brandon 4/29/13
People continue to
read the stories about our friend, Coach Luneau. The coach suffered a stroke
since those stories were written, but he is back on his feet. The following
year, his high school team was undefeated, winning the Vermont State
Championship! The top story on this list is that of a star player’s accident
and how God moved through it to speak to hundreds of people (if not thousands).
If you have never read this story of God’s mighty moving upon high school
students, please read it. If you’ve read it, you may want to read it again.
2. A Voice
from Heaven by Dave Brueckner 11/2/13
I am always
anxious to get articles written by our sons, Dan and Dave. Dan wrote an
article, “I Have Found the Book” about King Josiah. I translated it to Spanish
and it is one of the most read articles on our Spanish blog. Right next to the
top of the blog is this article by Dave. He tells us that heaven is a
noisy place!
3. What Does It Mean to be
Used of God? 5/26/14
This article brings us a surprising lesson! It tells the story
of a young Spanish boy killed in Croatia and how God moved during the eight
months that he was in a coma before he died.
4. Quotes from Len
Ravenhill's Letters, no.
11 2/21/13
From 1983 to 1993 we received forty-five letters from Leonard
Ravenhill. These are two of them that have been most read on the blogspot.
5. Karyn's Letter about
Plane Accident 2/8/13
When our daughter-in-law, Karyn, heard
that Steve’s plane had gone down in the Alaskan bush country, she gathered the
children in the living room. Together they prayed.
6. Wake Up! It’s Later Than
You Think 3/19/12
This article is an attempt to make God’s
people aware of the great deception that is taking place even in the area of
Bible translation. Please be informed.
7. Strong
Delusion
7/29/11
And more deception! Here you will read of
two books that sold millions of copies. They both were written by people who
believe in universal salvation… the assertion that everyone will be saved in
the end. No one will go to hell. Christians, by the millions, lent an ear to
two false prophets.
8. Coach
Luneau
2/13/13
How Coach Luneau left a promising
future at Syracuse University, one of the highest ranking athletic universities
in the country. What drew him away? A high school basketball program in a small
town in Vermont… and a calling from God.
9. Old Christians 1/8/13
I am soul-weary in a secular
world that has no fear of God and is anti-God in every respect. I am tired of a
“church”, which can no longer be termed evangelical, in which
the bulk of the members are not born-again, have no spiritual discernment, and
tolerate the entrance of most of the world’s garbage.
10. The
Testimony of Herman Williams 2/29/12
And finally, the
refreshing life story of an old Navajo friend, Herman Williams. A Navajo named
Williams? The government agent, in charge of registering his father, couldn’t
pronounce, much less spell, his real name, so he became Williams. Herman, a
simple Christian, was one of the godliest men that I have ever met.
