How the prophecies of Gog and Magog in Revelation were fulfilled in first-century Jerusalem and Rome.

Revelation’s prophecies employ vivid, world-ending language that metaphorically signifies actual events.

Discover the spiritual and physical aspects of the mark of the beast, its ties to Roman authority, and the intriguing connection to 666.

The land beast was the resurrected Roman empire after Nero’s suicide. The horns of the land beast were its rulers, Vespasian and Titus, who reigned as joint Caesars.

What about people who never hear the gospel? Can they be saved?

God wants to answer our prayers. We often struggle with unnecessary hardships because we hestitate to ask God for his help. The Bible shows us how to overcome them.

Christ was promised every good blessing, however instead of receiving them, he traded the curse we deserved for his blessing so that today believers may inherit God’s favor and ask for his help by faith.

It’s easy to misunderstand the Bible and assume our salvation is fragil. We will bring clarity to these passages to restore the believer’s confidence in the gift of eternal life.

Believers are eternally secure the moment they believe. Moreover, God gives them the Spirit and helps them endure any persecutions or temptations that may come their way so they never depart the faith.

Christians have graduated from the Mosaic law in Christ. However, Jewish Christians of the first century continued to practice the law to keep the gospel from being offensive and save as many Jews as possible.

Instead of trying our best to make things right with God, we can rest and trust in what Christ did.

Condemnation leads us to obey sin, but grace leads us to obey Christ. Why obedience through love is far more powerful than obedience through fear.

Does Jesus promise that his generation will witness his second coming? Do we misunderstand him? Does Jesus change his mind or give a false expectation on purpose, or is he making a guess?

Jesus told his disciples to obey every letter of the law until all was fulfilled. Why did Paul preach that they were no longer under the law and shouldn’t observe circumcision? Wouldn’t this make him ‘least in the kingdom of heaven?’

Christians throughout generations have struggled with reconciling statements between Paul and James. Paul teaches salvation by faith they say and James teaches salvation by works. We will take a closer look at their statements and see if we can reconcile their opposing views. Romans 4:1-5 What shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to […]

We see many verses in the bible saying we are saved purely by grace because of what Jesus did, but we also see scriptures that indicate we will be judged based on our works. How do we reconcile these differences?

The thousand year reign and demise of Satan were expected to occur in that generation. Can we find any parallels in history that describe such an event occuring in the first century? Yes we can.

When Jesus promised to ‘judge each according to his works,’ he was promising the Great White Throne Judgement in that present generation. We set out to demonstrate that this is the only logical conclusion.

Jesus promised to return in that generation. He also promised that at his return he would resurrect the dead and judge everyone. If Jesus returned in that generation, shouldn’t the Resurrection of the Dead have happened at that time?

Preterism is not an easy Biblical interpretation to accept because it challenges our fundamental understanding of the future. If Jesus already came back, what’s left in our future? How are we to understand evil’s continuing existence now that Christ has returned? While I attempt to find some answers that bring hope to the question of […]

Hearing God’s voice is not a special gift, it’s simply a matter of learning when to attribute a thought as having come from the Lord. Our church was a rather unique church.

Does Jesus have higher sexual purity standards than anyone can keep?

At first, it may seem that Preterism is a hopeless doctrine. The second coming already happened? Jesus already judged everyone? Is this all there is? What are we still doing here? But it’s not until you dig a little deeper than we realize this is actually the most hopeful doctrine. Daniel 2:32-35 The head of […]

Does Jesus permit divorced couples to remarry? A reflection on the sayings of Paul and Jesus suggest Jesus condemned the common Jewish practice of sending their spouse away without formally divorcing her. I’ve heard going through a divorce can be one of the most difficult challenges emotionally. Not only are you loosing your spouse in […]

According to some preachers, God desires us to constantly be improving ourselves and that this is necessary for salvation. Is there ever a moment when a Christian can rest from their anxious self-improvement and settle for being a decent human being? So that’s a very sweeping and glorious and wonderful and precious promise. If you […]

Many of us learning about grace come from strict religious backgrounds and struggle to adopt grace-filled principles into our lives and behaviors. It can take years to adjust our thinking to what we have come to believe. But many of us have no idea what a grace-filled life should look like or how we apply […]

Jesus warns unbelieving Jews that their lineage doesn’t automatically qualify them for the kingdom of heaven. “Depart from me” is not written to Christians.

Does God forgive us if we struggle to forgive someone? I will show how unforgiveness is a sin like any other and God’s forgave us of all our sins on the cross.

I thought the end times were about to come upon us and slowly came to believe the thing I forbid myself from thinking, that the end times have already happened. I’ve often heard about how we need to be prepared because we are living in the last days. The increase of earthquakes, the blood moons, […]

Coming from a charismatic background, we desire to follow God’s personal inner guidance but often fear our sin prevents us from hearing his voice.
