    Someone asked: “What’s all the fuss? Why are some Christians giving so much attention to the end times? There are so many different theories. Everyone thinks his or her theory is right. Where did these theories come from? It is all very confusing.

However, it should give us great comfort to know that God has a plan for our world, and it is all coming together according to His Divine purpose. Almighty God, who knows the end from the beginning, will make sure that everything turns ...read more

    This message views the revival at Pentecost and notes how revival often occurs after a season of prayer and during times of economic hardship. Also noted is how true revival will continue to thrive and not die out quickly.
