We are just past the halfway point of 2020, and if nothing else happened this year, it would still go down as one of the strangest years in history. The best word to describe it, I believe, is "uncertainty." People are uncertain about their health, the economy, social reform, the nation, the world. Christians around … Continue reading The Pre-Tribulation Rapture

Equality Under The Law – God’s Law
Most people have a misconception about God's law. We know that no one is perfect, but after that fact, two general beliefs prevail. First, overall if we do the right and stay away from wrong as much as possible, we will have achieved God's favor. Second, there is a line, and if we cross it, … Continue reading Equality Under The Law – God’s Law
What Is Coming.
Since the start of the virus, this column has focused mostly on Biblical prophecy. I feel it prudent to take a step back and give readers an overview of what is coming according to the Bible. With the outbreak of COVID-19, specific political news from the Middle East, natural disasters around the globe, and civil … Continue reading What Is Coming.
Signs, Signs, And More Signs
If anyone wanted to point to signs of Christ's return, the last two weeks have been a prophecy student's dream. Worldwide pandemic. Earthquakes in Utah, Tennessee, Nevada, and the Carolinas. World economies on the verge of collapse. Locust swarms in Africa. A world toilet paper shortage. Okay, the Bible does not say anything about number … Continue reading Signs, Signs, And More Signs
RIP – A HOUSE DIVIDED
Both President Trump and Speaker Pelosi have the position and authority they have because of God. Romans 13:1, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." A house divided shall not stand is such a vital truth God … Continue reading RIP – A HOUSE DIVIDED

The Bible, and the New Testament, in particular, are filled with signs for the second coming. Think of prophetic signs this way - they are like clouds. Clouds … Continue reading Signs All Around Us

The misinformation of the first Christmas grew from tradition and experienced a growth spurt during the twentieth century with the increase of media through movies and television. One error, in particular, is seen in nearly every place that … Continue reading Wise Guys And A Toddler
Would You Believe If You Saw A Miracle?
Would you "believe if you saw a miracle? The answer is "no," unless you would have believed God's Word in the first place. Jesus tells the story of a rich man and a beggar named Lazarus. Lazarus hangs around the rich man's house, usually laying by the front gate. The beggar develops sores on his … Continue reading Would You Believe If You Saw A Miracle?
MEEKNESS
“Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.” - Matthew 5:5. Often people will confuse being meek with being timid. Someone who looks down at their feet while speaking barely above a whisper appears to be meek when in actuality that is timidness. Jesus is, without a doubt, the main character of the … Continue reading MEEKNESS
Sitting, Standing, Running, Rising
When reading the events of and surrounding the Crucifixion of Christ, it is interesting to watch how people respond. The self-righteousness of Caiaphas, the High Priest, as he refuses to put the blood money that came from the treasury back into the coffers. Governor Pilate as he struggles with his agonizing question, “What is truth?” … Continue reading Sitting, Standing, Running, Rising
