Though Its Implications Are Overwhelming, The Sound Doctrine Of Hell Is Vitally Important

With that terse observation, the late church historian Martin Marty summarized our attitude toward a vanishing doctrine that received a great deal of attention in previous generations. Hell is scarcely mentioned in most evangelical churches today. I must ask: When is the last time you heard a sermon or a serious Bible lesson on the topic? Sometimes it is given a quick mention, but yes, Marty is right, hell has disappeared, and we didn’t even notice.

Opposition, Apostasy, And Triumph: Examining The Church In Bible Prophecy

There is much talk going around these days about how unified, triumphant and glorious the Church will be in the end times right before the return of Jesus. This pollyanna image of the Church is certainly attractive, but it only partially corresponds with what the Bible prophesies. But before we take a look at end time prophecies regarding the Church, let’s take a look at the Church in Bible prophecy in the past and present.

Deception

Why You Can’t Fit Millions Of Years Into The Days Of Creation

That genealogy in Genesis 5 is very tight. In fact, the wording literally states about those listed, “He himself begat.” You can’t put gaps in there. There’s no way you can fit millions of years in there. So people say, “Well, if we’re going to fit millions of years into the Bible, somehow we have to do it before Adam,” which means somewhere within the six days of creation. And that is the reason I find that people don’t want to believe in six literal days—because ultimately they’re trying to fit the millions of years somewhere into the Bible.

Trump Deals Devastating Blow To The UN Climate Regime, Exiting America From 66 Globalist Organizations

As part of a broad exodus from “anti-American, wasteful, and useless” international organizations and agreements, President Donald Trump just dealt a devastating blow to the United Nations “climate” regime, as UN officials refer to it. Multiple analysts are now heralding the death of what Trump has repeatedly referred to as the global-warming “hoax.” But the UN and its allies are hitting back hard.

Pulpit Problems: Troubling Study Finds That 1 In 5 Churchgoers Have Participated In An Abortion

In other words, a large percentage of churchgoers do not have a biblical worldview when it comes to the sanctity of human life. Rather, these churchgoers have simply adopted the culture’s view (from the secular, thus anti-Christian, worldview) that children are a choice and their lives can be ended at the convenience of the parents—and 19% have acted on it!

Christians Are Not Called To ‘Self-Love,’ They Are Called To Self-Denial

Truth is, most of us are already pretty obsessed with ourselves—we love ourselves too much. We’re constantly thinking about our own needs, our own happiness, and we even live in a society that encourages us to do so. But Jesus completely flips the script on the world’s approach to self-focus and self-love. Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

Silence On Sin: How Satan Has Entered the Church

Yes, Satan is the god of this world, and he has deceived millions. But his deception hasn’t stopped there. It has moved into the church. Despite what the Bible says—that Satan is real, a deceiver, and the god of this world who blinds minds—look at what has happened. According to the Barna Research Group: "In 2004, an incredible 50% of those who profess to be 'born again' actually deny Satan’s existence."

Hilton Denies Hotel Service to Homeland Security Agents

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused Hilton Hotels of canceling and refusing lodging to federal law enforcement officers, asserting that the hotel chain denied service to agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other DHS personnel in the Minneapolis area.

White House Pushes Back on Jan. 6 Narrative, Accuses Democrats of Political Rewriting

The White House marked the fifth anniversary of the January 6, 2021, Capitol breach by launching a new website aimed at challenging what it says is a Democrat-driven distortion of events and years of politically motivated prosecutions against Americans who participated in protests that day.

Only The Tip Of The Iceberg: Somalia’s UN Ambassador Linked to Fraud Scandal Enveloping Minnesota

As to the full breadth of the scandal, “we’ve only seen the tip of the iceberg so far,” Adams emphasized. “But Americans can have confidence that we’re going to uncover the size and magnitude of this, and we’re going to do everything we can to return those dollars back to hard working Americans.”

Looking Forward To Christ’s Return: A Spiritual Litmus Test

Are you looking forward to the day when Christ returns? Does the thought of Jesus coming back at any moment cause your heart to leap with excitement? Or does it sink with dread? I think your response is a good litmus test of your spiritual character.

NYC Far-Left Candidate Denounces Veterans Day, Fourth of July For ‘Silencing Immigrants’

A Democratic Socialist candidate in NYC frowned upon American holidays like Thanksgiving and Veteran’s Day, claiming those celebrations represent the silencing of immigrant communities — according to recently resurfaced commentary.

Mamdani’s Inauguration Speech Rife With Radical Rhetoric, Troubling Symbolism

A common crime of American politics occurs when a politician jazzes up the base with partisan rhetoric only to transform into a muddled centrist after Election Day. At least for now, New York City’s smiling socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani is not guilty of that crime. But if he keeps on this track, he’ll be guilty of much worse.

Is Israel Still A Part Of God’s Ultimate Plan Of Redemption?

In Romans 11, Paul is proclaiming that even though Israel rejected Jesus, that doesn’t mean God’s plan of redemption was thwarted. Instead, it was spread to the nations and the once-severed relationship between God and His creation was reconciled in Jesus. That’s real good news. However, the news gets even better, Paul looks ahead prophetically to that day when Jesus will return

The Destructive Nature Of The Goddess Movement

Although we see different names and different locations, in essence they all originated in mankind’s desire to worship a goddess figure. Although there have also been false male gods worshipped throughout the millennia, it is interesting to see mankind continually stumble into the worship of a feminine divine figure. Why is that so?

Are We Listening?: Rightly Dividing God’s Prophetic Word

At the heart of the disagreement between the various eschatological viewpoints lies the Millennium. We have addressed the theological variance in those perspectives many times, but suffice it to say that anyone who simply opens the Book and reads God’s prophetic revelations will tend to come to a Pre-Tribulation, Pre-Millennial understanding.

Federal Crackdown Targets Massive Fraud Networks in Minnesota

Federal authorities are launching what the Department of Homeland Security described as a “massive operation” in Minnesota aimed at identifying, arresting, and removing criminals accused of defrauding American taxpayers.

The Church Cannot Impact The Culture If We Conform To Rather Than Confront Sin

Paul was calling out Corinth and its culture. He loved the people enough to tell them the truth and wasn't afraid to confront sin using the power of the Gospel in love. 1 Corinthians 1:18 says, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." What was the result? The Corinthian church exploded. Prostitutes became believers, and idolaters became worshippers.

How Does Jesus View The Silence In Most Churches Today Regarding Biblical Prophecy?

Jesus wept for the people of Israel long ago because they did not recognize that their Messiah walked among them. Does He not feel a similar grief when pastors and believers push biblical prophecy aside and fix their hope on earthly aspirations? I believe so. Bible prophecy is not just about recognizing the signs and drawing peoples’ attention to the lateness of the hour in which we live, although these things are vitally important. Its primary focus must be Jesus and the eager expectation of His appearing (Philippians 3:20-21).

Biblical Creation Is Not ‘Contrary To Reason’—Science Confirms The Truth We Find In God’s Word

It’s not creationists ignoring the evidence! We see over and over that science and reason agree with and confirm the truth that we find in God’s Word. Just consider the complexity of DNA, the intricate language system written into every cell of every living thing; the “fearfully and wonderfully” developing unborn baby (human development is incredibly complex!); the precise order of the heavenly bodies; and the intricacies of earth’s ecosystems. It all cries out for a Creator God.

When Is It Time To Leave?: A Woke Cancer Is Growing In The Church

Wokeness teaches that we are not responsible for our own lives. We’re born privileged or oppressed. The Bible says we are personally accountable for our sins (James 1:13-15). God created us all equal. Acts 17:26 says we are all created “of one blood.” The sin of racism requires repentance, like any other sin. Wokeness replaces repentance with reparations.

Preterism Is On The Rise In The American Church, And Christians Should Be Aware Of The Dangers

In its most extreme form, Preterism will tell you that Jesus has already come back, there is no future resurrection of the dead, and we are currently living in a spiritualized version of the New Heavens and New Earth! Preterism is on the rise in the American church, and Christians should be aware of some of the issues involved.

Though Many Try, The Church Cannot Erase The Ongoing Importance Of Israel

They either say that God’s promise to Abraham was conditional or that it was only spiritual or that it was all part of a grand scheme to do a “God’s chosen” quick swap with the advent of the church age. This doctrine continues to spread rapidly through the body of Christ, and it is not new. There have been many in the history of the church who have been doing all they can to erase the ongoing importance of Israel.

A Privilege And Challenge: Considering Our Place In God’s End-Times Plans

Our world is getting worse. At first we might think, Who would want to be an end-times Christian? However, we have been called for such a time as this, and we are here on assignment! It is a privilege and a challenge to be alive in these days. We have a front-row seat to the last act. The drama has become intense. The players are all in place. The stage is being set. And you can’t understand the times without developing a biblical perspective that helps to shine the light of God’s truth on everything.

Should The Blame For America’s Moral Depravity Be Laid On The Pulpits Of The Nation?

Few in the body of Christ would deny that America has fallen into unprecedented moral depravity. The question is, who is to blame? Is it the politicians? Hollywood? The liberal media? I’m inclined to think that we should lay a big part of the blame on the pulpits of the nation. Let me tell you why.

Worship Of The Environment: The Religious Framing Of The Climate Movement Takes Center Stage At The UN

At COP30, Communist China unveiled a grotesque, demonic image that it calls the “dragon jaguar guardian spirit.” It displayed devil horns on its head and human hands holding the world. It shows that Satan, whom Jesus described as “the father of lies” (John 8:44), is advancing the need for all the world’s religions to unite under one banner using the ruse of a climate change emergency as its justification.

Psychologists Argue That Belief In God Was Invented By Mankind, A Byproduct Of ‘Evolution’

Man can’t escape the fact that “that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, both His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse” (Romans 1:19–20).

To Claim That Hell Is Not ‘Eternal Torment’ Is To Downplay The Entire Gospel Message

Failing to understand God’s judgment means that you also neglect to recognize your desperate need for a Savior—and what you have been saved from. Severely downplaying the horrific nature of Hell may be popular in a culture not wanting to be judged for their sins, but it undermines the entire Gospel message.

Welcome To The Brave New World: Who Needs God In An Age Of Artificial Intelligence?

Young people are particularly drawn to artificial intelligence. Some of them will tell you that they can get an answer more quickly from a search engine or Alexa than they can get from God. Who needs God in an age of artificial intelligence? A.I. is almost all-knowing. And these technologies will tell you what you want to hear in technicolor, 3-D, and in an instant.

The Throne Of David: The Divine Orchestration Of History And The Fulfillment Of God’s Promises

Nathan's presence in the genealogy of Jesus underscores the divine orchestration of history and the fulfillment of God's promises, which have been given in detail throughout the Bible. So, this Christmas, as you celebrate the cradle, make sure you also celebrate the fact that Jesus will wear the crown and rule from David’s throne, as revealed to Mary in Luke 1:32-33: "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end."

Despite Being An Atheistic Stronghold, France Experiences ‘Quiet Surge’ Of Evangelicals

A few weeks ago, a short documentary from a secular news media outlet proclaimed “the quiet surge of France’s evangelicals,” sharing that “evangelical churches are booming in France, a country often seen as one of the most secular [atheistic] in Europe. They’re multiplying so fast that every ten days, a new evangelical church opens its doors”—a new church every ten days!

Can We Know With Certainty That The Rapture Will Occur Before The Seven-Year Tribulation?

The Rapture agnostics tell us we cannot determine whether or not we will go through all of the Tribulation or perhaps a part of it. This is not true. The Bible provides us with a clear path leading to the certainty that Jesus is coming to take us home before the start of the Tribulation period, or what the Old Testament describes as the Day of the Lord. The absence of nary a hint that we must prepare for this time adds confirmation to this trek through Scripture.

At The UN’s COP30 Climate Summit, The Chinese Communist Party Was Calling The Shots

The real story of the COP30 is the ongoing reshuffling of global economic power—away from the once-dominant West and toward communist China and its allies. From foisting more economic carnage on Western economies to creating more demand for Chinese-made “green” junk mandated by Western governments and subsidized by Western taxpayers, the CCP is laughing all the way to the bank.
