This particular virus, it is argued, must be a sign of the “last days” that are prophesied of in the Bible, specifically in the book of Revelation. But is this really the proper way to think about the current global situation?   As of yesterday, there have been nearly 3,500 confirmed cases of a novel... Continue Reading

When Jesus was talking with His disciples shortly before He died, He told them that His Father would send the Holy Spirit, who would not only dwell with them but be in them (John 14:17).

If so, then Revelation 7 parallels the Lion and Lamb vision of Revelation 5:5–6. In that earlier vision, John hears about the Lion of Judah but actually sees the Lamb slain.

For all things work together for those that love Him (Rom. 8:28), and disease certainly does not fall outside the category of “all things.” By it, He weans us from the passing treasure of this world, and He...

The Church, the body of Christ should be made up of His disciples. Of course, within the visible Church there are two groups, Jesus Disciples and those who are not Christians, but appear to be or claim to be. The Beatitudes are nine statements from Jesus giving the attributes of His genuine disciples.  Those who are...

Is your faith waning today? Do you feel as if you are losing your grip on the incredible promises of His Word? Are you thinking that you must certainly be lost because your faith has once again fallen to sin? Then learn one more time to give up your prideful desire to be the one... Continue Reading

Only when we realize that our lives are brief will we begin to adopt the right attitude, valuing God and living for the things that truly matter. Don’t miss the perspective that a brush with COVID-19 can give you: if you handle this moment well, you will gain a heart of wisdom. You will die, like... Continue Reading
