A Needed Wake-Up Call

A Needed Wake-Up Call

The sight of Damar Hamlin suddenly collapsing on the playing field shocked a great many people, including me. I believe it’s another reminder that the world is running out of normal. In this post, I explain why.

Don't Fall for the Illusion of Peace in Our Time

Don't Fall for the Illusion of Peace in Our Time

As I reflect on 2022, the illusion of peace that’s become the hope of many saints saddens me. This deception has come about through false teaching concerning the end times, which prevents them from recognizing the signs of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period.

The Sign of Fulfilled Prophecy

The Sign of Fulfilled Prophecy

We learn a lot by looking at fulfilled prophecy. At His first coming, Jesus fulfilled forty-eight specific prophecies concerning His birth, lineage, life, death, and burial.

What does this tell us about our approach to the many prophecies that remain unfulfilled?

12 Signs the World is Running Out of Normal

12 Signs the World is Running Out of Normal

I understand why so many question Jesus’ soon return given the fact that it’s been two thousand years since He promised to return.

In spite of the long wait, I’m convinced that Jesus’ appearing is imminent because of the myriad of signs telling us that the Tribulation period is right on our doorstep.

The Triumph of the Redeemed

The Triumph of the Redeemed

It’s the particulars of our glorious future that provide us with a hopeful and biblical context into which we can place the storms and tragic circumstances that come our way and persevere when during the dark times in which we live.

It’s a glorious adventure that starts with the Rapture of the church.

Is America at the End of the Road?

Is America at the End of the Road?

Has the United States reached the end of the road?

I believe so; God’s judgment upon America has already begun. This doesn’t mean revivals will not happen in various locations or that we will stop seeing people come to faith in Jesus.

Conspiracy Theories or Spoiler Alerts?

Conspiracy Theories or Spoiler Alerts?

Many regard talk of threats to their wellbeing as conspiracy theories, outcomes they see as so far out of the ordinary that they cannot possibly be true. But what if they are more than just annoying musings of doomsday purveyors?

This article asks you to make the call: Are they conspiracy theories or spoiler alerts of what lies ahead in the future?

A Tale of Two Churches: Understanding the Differences

A Tale of Two Churches: Understanding the Differences

Revelation 3:7-22 describes churches in the towns of Philadelphia and Laodicea. In Jesus’ letters to them, we discover aspects of each that help us understand the differences between these assemblies of believers today.

Persevering in a Dangerous World

Persevering in a Dangerous World

We live in a time like no other because so very few people are paying attention to the deadly crises that loom on our horizon. We live in biblical times because what we see worldwide is precisely what God's Word says the world look like just before the start of the seven-year Tribulation.

Waiting for Jesus' Appearing Amid the Rampant Evil of Our Day

Waiting for Jesus' Appearing Amid the Rampant Evil of Our Day

As we wait for Jesus’ appearing, our hearts often grow weary amid the rampant evil of our day and the hardships we encounter. Our cry often becomes one of “how much longer, O Lord?”

If you feel overwhelmed with life and long for our Savior to appear and intervene in our world, I am writing especially for you.

Israel’s Future Restoration Validates Our Hope as New Testament Saints

Israel’s Future Restoration Validates Our Hope as New Testament Saints

Both Israel’s future and our security as New Testament Saints rest upon both God’s promises and character. That’s why I always begin my defense of the pre-Tribulation Rapture with the biblical teaching regarding the Lord’s future restoration of Israel.

The Anchor Of Our Blessed Hope Holds Amid Wicked and Lawless Times

The Anchor Of Our Blessed Hope Holds Amid Wicked and Lawless Times

As the walls of the world close in on us and threaten our wellbeing, freedoms, and perhaps even our lives in the days ahead, we know that our hope rests in the “steadfast anchor of our soul,” namely Jesus and our anticipation of His soon return for us.

The Magnificent Glory That Awaits Us in Eternity

The Magnificent Glory That Awaits Us in Eternity

We use the word “glory” to refer to many aspects of our walk with the Lord. In a real sense, glorify His name when praise Him and sing worship songs. We see a foretaste of God’s glory in beautiful sunsets, the grandeur of snowcapped mountain tops, and in many ways through the beauty and wonder of nature.

We will not see the full display of Jesus’ glory, however, until He appears to take us up to heaven!

Globalism, War, Economic Turmoil, Devaluing Human Life — The Day Of The Lord Is Looming

Globalism, War, Economic Turmoil, Devaluing Human Life — The Day Of The Lord Is Looming

I’m still convinced that Jesus is coming for us soon.

The end of September didn’t put an end to the multitude of signs telling us that the seven-year Tribulation is ever so close, even right on our doorstep.

Amid Today's Ridicule of Our Blessed Hope, Dare To Be An Enoch

Amid Today's Ridicule of Our Blessed Hope, Dare To Be An Enoch

Enoch lived 365 years before God took him away from the earth. From all that we know about the antediluvian world, that’s a long time to walk faithfully with the Lord.

Like Enoch, we must persevere amid today's ridicule of our hope, such as the article CNN mocking the Rapture, as we eagerly await our “blessed hope.”

Jesus Is the Only Path to Eternal Life

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.

Depopulation: The Sign that Tells us Jesus' Appearing Is At Hand

Depopulation: The Sign that Tells us Jesus' Appearing Is At Hand

On the one hand, the depopulation effort of the globalists is frightening.

On the other hand, it opens our eyes to what’s happening around us and reminds us that God is sovereignly directing history to accomplish His purpose in preparing the world, and Israel, for Jesus’ upcoming thousand-year reign on the earth.

Although Popular, It's a Dangerous View of the End Times

Although Popular, It's a Dangerous View of the End Times

We believe that Israel’s miraculous reappearance as a nation and the Lord’s supernatural defense of this country mark the beginning of His fulfillment of promises that He made to Israel through the Old Testament prophets.

We most assuredly live in biblical times!

Salvation In No Other Name

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.

Why Is a Biblically Sound View of Eternity so Essential?

Why Is a Biblically Sound View of Eternity so Essential?

We need a true Bible-based perspective of our future beyond this life in order to understand our journey through it. Without such a Scripture-based forward look to the paradise that awaits us, we often err by making this life our destination and eternity but an afterthought.
