Christmas In Genesis: From The Beginning Sinful Mankind Was Promised The Savior

But the promise of the Messiah isn’t just found at the beginning of Genesis—it continues throughout the book. Actually, it continues throughout the entire Old Testament, as the overarching theme is “Humanity is sinful, but a Savior is coming.”

Christmas In Genesis: From The Beginning Sinful Mankind Was Promised The Savior

But the promise of the Messiah isn’t just found at the beginning of Genesis—it continues throughout the book. Actually, it continues throughout the entire Old Testament, as the overarching theme is “Humanity is sinful, but a Savior is coming.”

The Jesus Of Bible Prophecy: Christ Is No Longer A Little Baby Or Suffering Servant

The beauty and majesty of God’s Prophetic Word introduce us to a third image of Jesus that few, if any, encounter because they never study Bible prophecy. In the prophecies concerning Jesus’ Second Coming, human frailty is stripped away, revealing Christ’s true glory—a divinity that the Apostles could only glimpse at the Transfiguration. Christ’s true form stunned James and John into silence and Peter into babbling. The Apostles had witnessed Jesus in His eternal, glorified state!

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.

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."

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.

In The Face Of ‘Cancel Culture,’ Will Christians Blend In Or Stand Fast For Truth?

Our society has gotten lost in the addiction of “cancelling.” But let’s be real... this is not a new phenomenon. It’s time for you to decide for yourself. Will you blend in and accept the current calm while surrendering what God has laid on your heart? Or will you step forward boldly, knowing that God is behind you, before you, and beside you, no matter what the world says?

Despite What You Have Been Told, The Book Of Revelation Is A Story Of Hope For All Who Believe

When you think of the book of Revelation, what comes to mind? Fire? Destruction? 666? Whether you have read the book many times or your experience is limited to a youth group showing of Left Behind, the terrifying scenes don’t always spur excitement for the future. And yet, the book that concludes the story of the Bible—and the story of the world as we know it—is a story of hope.

Recognizing Prophetic Times: A Firm Biblical Foundation For Our Expectancy Of Jesus’ Appearing

Why did Anna and Simeon so readily accept that the infant Joseph and Mary brought to the temple was the promised Messiah? They believed Bible prophecy, and more specifically, the opening lines of Isaiah 9:6, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given.” They didn’t seem at all surprised that the baby they held in their arms was indeed the long-awaited Christ. They believed what Scripture said and didn’t try to allegorize (symbolize) the promise that the Messiah would arrive as a baby.

Christians Are Not Called To Fear The Future, They Are Called To Understand It

Indeed, it has become commonplace among many churches and Christian circles to avoid and even dismiss the subject of Bible prophecy. The rationale behind such a decision is often motivated by fear of teaching on matters that can be viewed as controversial or contentious. Instead of expounding on prophetic Scripture that may be viewed as difficult or having the potential for objections and debate, some churches choose to simply overlook, omit, and neglect these portions of God’s Word.

Isn’t It Time That We, As Christians, Stand Up For What We Believe?

We’re living in a time when people are standing up for all sorts of causes. And in some cases, people are even willing to lay down their lives for what they believe in. Isn’t it time that we, as Christians, stand up for what we believe? It seems to me that at a time when so many are standing up for so many causes, there are many in the church who are not standing up for anything. We are embarrassed. We are ashamed. But it’s time to stand up and be counted.

Giving Thanks For His Amazing Grace And The Prophetic Hope That Awaits

Whether this Thanksgiving finds you surrounded by the embrace of family or facing seemingly insurmountable challenges all on your own, remember that if you belong to Jesus, you have every reason for thanksgiving. Your salvation is secure, having been sealed by the Holy Spirit. Your future is bright, having been guaranteed by God’s faithfulness. And, your hope is imminent, in that Jesus could call His children home at any moment. These are the eternal realities that should fill your heart with gratitude, not just on one holiday, but every single day.

The Necessity Of Proclaiming The ‘Blessed Hope’ To The Younger Generation

Saints, future generations need us. They rely on our loving care and biblical consistency. This is true on many levels. They need us to be careful and consistent with the gospel, in how we love them, how we lead them, and how we teach them. They especially need us to be lovingly careful and biblically consistent when teaching about the last things—eschatology.

Accountable To God: One Of Christianity’s Most Offensive And Important Teachings

Because of Christianity’s biblical teaching on Hell, some atheists have criticized our faith and said that it’s at the root of a lot of the world’s problems. Actually, history directly contradicts that assertion. History shows us that a lack of belief in God and in the afterlife is at the root of many atrocities. If the atheistic Joseph Stalin really believed that he would be accountable to God and face Him one day, do you think he would have been as cruel as he was? Would Mao Tse-tung and other atheistic mass murderers have done the things they did if they believed they would face a final judgment?

Blessings In Disguise: Serving A God Who Can Bring Good Out Of Terrible Tragedy

Two Scriptures came to mind as I prayed in the aftermath of Charlie Kirks death. The first was the familiar Romans 8:28 … that “in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” But how could this be good? The answer was in the second verse, John 12:24: “… unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”

In The Wake Of Charlie Kirk’s Assassination, Are We Truly Witnessing A ‘Revival’?

Over the last few weeks, I have been repeatedly hearing one word in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and that word is "revival." My heart broke when I heard the news of Charlie’s passing, and my soul still mourns for him and the family he left behind; yet, out of such terrible darkness, it has been amazing to watch what the Lord has been doing across America and beyond in response to such a grievous tragedy.

Wonderful Beyond Imagination: Examining The New Heavens And New Earth

Although I am sure that all of us are very excited about seeing God bring about the new heavens and the new earth, for good measure, I remind you that in 2 Peter 3:13 we are instructed to look forward to this promise: "Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells."

The Nation Of Israel Stands As An Example — No Nation Exists Outside God’s Sovereign Purview

When it comes to God’s sovereignty, the Enemy continues to sell two great lies—and people continue to buy them. The first is as old as Babel itself (Gen. 11). It is the notion that nations are masters of their own fate. The second is that if the nations try hard enough, they can destroy Israel (Ps. 83:4). However, God’s Word stands against both of these lies.

Knowing Christ’s Return Is Imminent, What Must We Do To Be Ready?

Jesus commands us to look out for His return. You’ll hear some people ignorantly claim that Bible prophecy is all nonsense. And yet, Jesus Himself has said that when we see these signs of the end times, then keep watch. Therefore, Jesus wants us to expectantly watch for His return.

The Simpleness Of Evangelism: The Great Commission Isn’t Just For Pastors Or Missionaries

Have you ever felt nervous about sharing your faith? You’re not alone. Many Christians are uptight about sharing it, just as non-believers are uptight about hearing it. And yet, most non-believers haven’t even heard an accurate presentation of the gospel, in my opinion. Why is it that we hesitate to share the greatest news in the world?

Legacies Of Anticipating Jesus’ Soon Return—Do Christians Long For The Rapture In Vain?

When it comes to Bible prophecy, one of the dismissive criticisms of scoffers is that generations of Christians have come and gone without the promise of Jesus’ coming being fulfilled. Skeptical of the “practical” value of anticipating Jesus’ soon return, they will ask, “What’s the point?” Were they able to testify to us still, I have every confidence that those who have gone to be with the Lord after longing for the Rapture in this life would strongly encourage us to share the anticipation they exemplified.

Examining Motivations: Why The Rapture’s Timing Truly Makes A Difference In The Christian Life

The pre-tribulation rapture view makes Christ the central focus of the end times and elevates His preeminence over all. It seeks to glorify God above all. It creates authentic praise to God as the believers’ hearts swell with grateful anticipation for what comes next. It propels the church to reach the world with the urgent and important Gospel message.

The Gospel Is The ‘Power Of God To Salvation’

The Gospel was powerful enough to change Saul of Tarsus into Paul the Apostle. It was powerful enough to save 3,000 in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. It was powerful enough to convert thousands in the First and Second Great Awakenings, and it was powerful enough to move 2.2 million people to say yes to Jesus Christ under the ministry of Dr. Billy Graham, of which I’m one. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation.

One Day, The World Will Be Governed By The Perfect Ruler: The King Of kings

The actions of many world leaders, particularly as it concerns Israel, is most certainly a cause for distress amongst the remnant church.  The quality of leadership which exists throughout the nations (with the exception of a few) is extremely poor.  Yet, we look ahead with confident assurance that one day, the world will be governed by the perfect Ruler and the redeemed will no longer be distressed or depressed!  No votes will be cast, no UN resolution will be sought, no social media poll will be taken.  Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords will reign and He will do so from Jerusalem. 

Cutting Through The Controversy: Is The ‘September Rapture’ Hype or Hope?

Regardless of what we believe about Rosh Hoshana or its fulfillment in the Rapture, we all agree that the time is exceedingly short until Jesus takes us, His true Church, home to glory. We know that the Rapture will happen before the Tribulation period, and that day of wrath is approaching faster than few of us can even imagine. It’s not easy to fully grasp just how quickly our world will change in the twinkling of an eye.

Raised Into Eternity: Examining Distinct Resurrections In The Bible

We often focus on the resurrection of Jesus (and so we should) but the Word of God also tells us about the resurrection of mankind, some to the resurrection of life and others to the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:29). In Daniel 12:3 we read something similar: "Any many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt."

What President Trump Got Right… And Wrong About Heaven

Bringing peace to Ukraine and Russia is a goal worthy of praise. But it’s not enough. Being as perfect as our Father in heaven requires an entire life of righteousness. Think of God’s law as a unified whole. Break any part of it, and you have broken the law. Break any part of it, and you are a lawbreaker. That’s us. That’s all of us. Getting to heaven requires more than we can achieve. Only Jesus lived a life of perfect righteousness.

God Warns, Calls To Repentance, And Offers Hope—But That Window Doesn’t Stay Open Forever

Let us not be like the man building bigger barns, or the crowds who ignored Noah’s warnings. Let us be like the Bereans—searching the Scriptures daily, receiving the Word eagerly, and living with an urgency rooted in the hope of Christ. Because one day, the door will close. The writing will be on the wall. And it will be too late. But today? Today is still the day of salvation.

Pentecost: One Of The Most Incredible Examples Of God’s Prophetic Foreshadowing

Many people look at the biblical feasts and presume these are simply Jewish traditions. However, these aren't just random celebrations; they are divine prophecies planted throughout history. Pentecost is one of the most incredible examples of God's perfect planning, also known as Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks.

The Beginning And The End: Examining The Amazing Symmetry of Biblical Prophecy

A time is coming when God is going to restore everything in this world back to the perfection of its starting point! Only God could execute such an incredible plan! As we eagerly anticipate its coming blessing, come with me on a brief study of the first and last books of the Bible which demonstrate the need for restoration and detail the amazing symmetry of biblical prophecy!

From Dry Bones to Living Nation: Even Secular Israelis Are Unknowingly Participating In God’s Prophetic Timetable

Those of us who take the Bible seriously know that the feasts of the Lord celebrated in Israel paint a prophetic picture of God's end-time plan. But these three modern observances, often considered "man-made traditions" by the average Israeli, stand as signs of fulfilled prophecy and God's faithfulness.

Passover: Jesus Is The Substance Behind Every Prophetic Shadow

Friends, the mystery of the Messiah, hidden for ages, is now revealed. He is the substance behind every prophetic shadow. These feasts were prophecies in action that only the true Messiah could fulfill to the letter. God is not after the rituals, He wants hearts that recognize His Son.

No Accident: Scientists Can’t Help But Acknowledge The Intelligent Design Of DNA

Could DNA’s amazing structure have come together by accident? Or does it point to an intelligent Designer? Even the director of the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute concluded there is a God based on his study of DNA.

The Bible Stands Alone As The Greatest Book Ever Written

What is it that makes the Bible different, continually relevant on a myriad of issues, and the bestselling book of all time? Simply put, the Bible is God’s Word. It is the Book of books—and it has been the wellspring of truth and accuracy for more than 3,500 years.
