Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life

Eternal life resides in Jesus and in Him alone. No one else! This is true now and will also be the case after Jesus removes His true church from the earth.

In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Salvation In No Other Name

What do people need the most? The answer remains the same as it’s always been: A clear understanding of the Gospel. By this I mean that people need Jesus, not the one that so many today create in their mind but but the One revealed on the pages of Scripture.

The Battle for Israel in the Church

The Battle for Israel in the Church

Amillennial beliefs have surged in recent decades in churches that profess belief in Scripture's inspiration and inerrancy. It’s not uncommon for statements of faith to include strong language affirming Scripture as God-breathed while also proclaiming an end-of-the-age Second Coming as the very next event on God’s prophetic calendar.

The Clarity of Bible Prophecy

The Clarity of Bible Prophecy

The underlying assumption in most churches today is that Scripture is less clear on the matter of Bible prophecy than on other matters of the faith. Although most Christians accept this assertion as fact, it’s simply not true.

Don't Be Disheartened—Jesus Is Coming Soon

Don't Be Disheartened—Jesus Is Coming Soon

The fact that we still wait for His appearing despite the increasing relevance of all the signs I wrote about back then demonstrates God’s patience as well as His restraining hand in holding back the calamities that loom over the world at this moment. And the clouds grow darker by the moment as the world teeters on the edge of the start of the Day of the Lord.

Does Amillennialism have an Achilles' Heel?

Does Amillennialism have an Achilles' Heel?

What if God is not done with Israel? If that is true, it undermines the very foundation upon which all the various forms of amillennialism rest. More than that, it causes all its core beliefs, pillars if you will, to also crumble.

Israel: The Journey from Cursing to Blessing

Israel: The Journey from Cursing to Blessing

The steadily intensifying antisemitism of our day points us to the reality of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period. It’s one of the more distinguishing signs of our day because it aligns with so many prophecies that predict hatred for Israel and the Jews during the last days.

Comfort for Melancholy Days

Comfort for Melancholy Days

The falling rain outside my office reflects the gloominess I feel today. It’s just one of those melancholy days that many of us experience from time to time under the weight of living in today’s world.

Through the struggles of my past, I have learned the value of clinging to God’s Word when the cares of this world threaten to undo me.

Our Eternal Hope Versus PTSD

Our Eternal Hope Versus PTSD

In The Triumph of the Redeemed, I tell how the Lord healed my twenty-year bout with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). He did so through my hope of Jesus’ imminent appearing as over time, my understanding of the blessedness of my future with Him brought healing to my soul.

Relief came as I focused on five biblical aspects of our glorious future that begins with the Rapture.

God Has Already Decreed The Future For This World — Be Assured Of His Sovereignty

Far too often we ignore this divine attribute as being far too abstract or of having little to do with our daily lives when in reality, it’s the basis of how we know the Lord is able to deliver on all His promises to us.

What’s the Big Deal About the Middle East War?

Typically, it’s just students of Bible prophecy who chime in on the prophetic implications of Middle East wars.

But what makes the current conflict particularly noteworthy are the many other voices also telling us why they believe the war has messianic and even end of the world implications.

It’s Not Just Errant Theology, It’s Unbelief

It’s Not Just Errant Theology, It’s Unbelief

The harm that this teaching causes extends beyond the walls of the churches where it’s proclaimed. The belief that the church, rather than Israel, fulfills all of God’s kingdom promises to the Jewish people breeds antisemitism among Christians, which far too often spells over into the unbelieving world.

Why a Post-Tribulation Rapture Contradicts What the Bible Says about the Millennium

Over the years, many people have told me that the Rapture must happen after the seven-year Tribulation. More often than not, they support their belief by offering an assortment of contradictory statements supposedly confirming their assertion.
