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.
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.
I’m convinced that we live in biblical times that are far different than any time since the first century AD. I say this because of the abundance of signs pointing to the soon arrival of the seven-year Tribulation with the Rapture occurring before it starts.
Although many mock our expectation of Jesus’ soon appearing, the words of Scripture side with those of us who cherish the hope of His imminent return.
Over the past few years, I have noticed an underlying current in teachings that deny such things as the Rapture, the seven-year Tribulation, and Jesus’ thousand-year reign before the eternal state. They have the net effect of diminishing Jesus’ role in end time events, which inevitably shifts the focus of the saints away from the Savior to the things of this life.
Could the upcoming completion of an X across the U.S. midsection by the April 8, 2024, eclipse point to another catastrophe in the months afterward such as happened in 1811 after another darkening of the sun completed an X in the same area?
Is this just an uncanny coincidence, or does it point to something far more ominous?
Why did God choose the sons of Jacob, later named Israel, to be His special people. The Bible does not tell us why; it was His sovereign choice, which Romans 9 makes clear.
Although we cannot look inside God’s mind on this matter of selecting Israel, in hindsight, we recognize why it was necessary for the Lord to choose one specific race of people.
The claim that Jesus is already reigning over the nations is extremely popular in churches today. However, is this the rule of Jesus over the nations of the earth? Is our current experience the kingdom to which the New Testament says we are heirs?
What is this kingdom to which the Bible says we are heirs as believers.?
As I wondered about how to respond to the normality bias so evident in churches today, I thought about the title of the Francis A. Schaeffer book that I read in college, He Is There and He is Not Silent. I believe that name might be adjusted for today as, “He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon.”
Whether it’s the Gospel or any other belief, we depend upon the words of Scripture for truth rather than our own intuition or reasoning. “Why restate such an obvious truth?”
I do so because many believers do not understand how the words of Scripture relate to the perils we face today as our world teeters on the brink of a devastating war.
Because the events of October 7, 2023, and days following involve Israel, we know there will be prophetic implications that will reverberate for the coming months and years.
This article expands of several prophetic observations that flow from massacre of Israeli citizens and many from other nations as well.
We most assuredly live in biblical times. The convergence of signs is like that of the grand finale of a fireworks show that noisily illuminates the sky with its bright display of colors. Yet sadly, many believers and pastors turn their heads and walk away from the spectacle telling themselves and others, “There’s nothing to see here.”
As we watch the world grow increasingly violent and lawless, how do we know that the Lord will rescue us before the world feels the full weight of God’s wrath? What if we are not walking with the Lord at the time of His appearing? Will we be left behind?
1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 answers these questions for us. For those of us in Christ, it’s a passage that drips with God’s grace toward us as New Testament Saints.
It’s been heart-wrenching at times, but now I fear I have become numb to the nonstop drumbeat of suffering, disability, and death about which I read on almost a daily basis.
In the past couple years, I have read several hundred reports depicting the pain, suffering, and death caused by the COVID injections. Stories thoroughly buried by the mainstream news, but nonetheless real to those still suffering or grieving the loss of loved ones.
As many of you can attest, those of us in this group have been disenfranchised, ostracized, by churches that claim to believe in the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture.
How did we get to this place? Why are we regarded as outcasts in churches that claim to believe the Bible and in many cases faithfully proclaim the saving message of the cross?
On June 28, 2023, King Charles III and London Mayor Sadiq Khan activated a “climate clock” showing that there are 6 years, 24 days, 49 minutes, and 41 seconds left to limit global warming before it brings doom upon the world.
Despite the lengthy history of planet earth, King Charles III apparently knows to the second how much time we have left before the doom of civilization due to global warming.
