Are we close to Christ sitting on the throne in Jerusalem? If we are, the events leading up to Christ's kingdom are even closer. Biblical prophecy tells us before Christ's one-thousand-year reign is the rapture of the church, the rule of the Antichrist, and the seven-year tribulation period. The Bible calls certain events signs of … Continue reading The Warning And Blessing Of Psalm 2

The I, Thee, And Them Of Christian Memory
Every holiday has two purposes - to remember and to celebrate. It's the remembering that we tend to forget. Christmas is a day to remember the birth of Christ and celebrate his birth with presents and family dinners. The Fourth of July, a day to remember our nation's birth and our freedom as Americans, is … Continue reading The I, Thee, And Them Of Christian Memory
Visual Signs A Person Loves God
Can people see that you are a Christian? If you have a cross necklace and a T-shirt that reads, "Jesus loves you!" you might think you are doing pretty well in letting people know you are a Christian. You may have had a cross tattooed onto your forearm. Surely, a permanent mark on your skin … Continue reading Visual Signs A Person Loves God
What Manner Of Persons
Hamas' attack on October 7th, Hezbollah’s constant missile barrage upon Israel from Lebanon, Iran's aerial attack upon Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles, and Israel's response to all these things all appear to be fulfilling the sign Jesus spoke about when He said, "Wars and rumours of wars" (Matthew 24:6, Mark 13:7). Some of … Continue reading What Manner Of Persons

How Close Are We?
I came to Christ at age fifteen, and God called me to preach at sixteen. From the get-go, I was fascinated by prophecy. When I was younger, I desired (and thought the odds were good) that I would live to see the rapture. However, as time passed, I began to think that maybe the rapture … Continue reading How Close Are We?
Seeking A Church Home
Loyalty is one of my attributes. I am loyal to my God, family, church, country, and employer. The list goes on, but those are the main things. You may have noticed that God and church are listed separately. That is because they are not one and the same - the church is not my God, … Continue reading Seeking A Church Home
Grab Yourself A Hymnbook And Sing
In January, I was at a fundraiser for a Christian non-profit organization. A college-aged woman sat down next to me. I know who she is, but I do not know her well. A fellow was singing on stage. His songs were songs a person would find in any hymnbook. He sang "Blessed Assurance." The woman … Continue reading Grab Yourself A Hymnbook And Sing
The Truth VS Our Truth
What a person believes dictates their actions. Most people I know are honest people. By that, I mean if they tell me something, they at least believe what they have said to be the truth. I also think the people who know me consider me to be honest. Using myself as an example, as a … Continue reading The Truth VS Our Truth
What Will 2024 Bring?
What will 2024 bring? God only knows. I wish the most important things to consider were who will win the Super Bowl and World Series. But alas, whoever wins the sporting events makes little to no difference in the grand scheme of things. For the record, I am a huge sports fan; go, Guardians! Go … Continue reading What Will 2024 Bring?
