It’s Not What You Might Think
Over the weekend, Iran launched 300+ drones and missiles toward Israel.

Authorities claim there was no significant damage. There is a seven-year-old … Continue reading It’s Not What You Might Think
How To Live A Quiet Life
2 Chronicles 20:30, "So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest round about." Often, we describe life as noisy. Many things are confusing, complicated, and nerve-wracking.

Two Wars Are Coming
After last week's Preacher's Point describing the battle of Psalm 83, questions came in about the invasion of Israel in Ezekiel chapter 38.

However, any Bible teacher mentioning … Continue reading Two Wars Are Coming

Rise Of The Antichrist
Everyone wants to know everything yesterday. We even want to know about tomorrow - yesterday. Questions about the Antichrist fill my mailbox - Is he alive? What is his name? Where will he be born? Is it (fill in the blank with anyone's name)? This column will concentrate on how the Antichrist comes to world … Continue reading Rise Of The Antichrist
There Comes A Point
God is love (1 John 4:8), but God is also "a consuming fire" (Deuteronomy 4:24; Hebrews 12:29). Both aspects, love and consuming fire, are seen in the book of Jeremiah. Israel had forsaken God and fallen into sin. The Israelites were so far into sin; they were no longer embarrassed by anything anymore (Jeremiah 6:15; … Continue reading There Comes A Point
