    Christmas Billboards Point In The Culture War's Direction

    Christmas is the time of year when the thoughts of most Americans grow to be at their most devout.

    Sometimes it feels as if we are in the battle far too deep and are about to be defeated but we must remember, with God's help, we cannot be defeated.

    EMBATTLED BUT NOT DEFEATED Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Here as we struggle through the complexities of this Christian life, the ...read more

    Are these the same men who ran from Jesus’ crucifixion? Many times we place a high emphasis on our faith, and what we can receive, but your grace and your faith is all about Jesus!

    13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had ...read more

    Jesus' coming is delayed to give the greater number of people the greater opportunity to repent.

    TIME FOR TRUE REPENTANCE. 2 Peter 3. After the description of the false teachers who deny the second coming of Jesus - which is concluded with the horrible picture of 2 Peter 2:22 - Peter turns to his protégés and effectively says, “I am assured of better things concerning you” (cf. ...read more

    What is in store for us during the 1,000 year reign?

    Men down through the ages have dreamed and planned for a golden age of perfect life. I contend that the scriptures have much to say about this golden age.
