Estonian descendent Irma Faulkner tells me her moving and dramatic story of how her six-member family fled their-homeland from oncoming Russians in August 1944 towards Nazi Germany in a one horse cart.  On the journey the Germans even took their horse away away as they continued to walk and hitch rides as they headed West.  All six of them courageously survived hunger, bombing and other perils.
The journey started on their farm south of Tartu, through Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia and finally refuge in the American Zone of Germany.  Hear a story of faith and Providence and what she learned and wants to tell you.

God’s Gentleman (Psalm 15) by Victor Kubik

This is the time of year we observe the Feast of Tabernacles, a time that pictures the coming world, called the Kingdom of God on the earth. 
No more evil.  No more crying, no more tears.  A time of rejoicing as this world’s governments are replaced with the Kingdom of God..
I want to replay a message I gave seven years ago in Sevierville, TN entitled "God’s Gentleman."
It is an exposition of Psalm 15 the second most popular Psalm after Psalm 23,   "The Lord is My Shepherd."  This Psalm describes the kind of person who will inherit the Kingdom of God and live forever. 
I hope that you find this of value.
