Reflection C.4 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Destruction Of Jerusalem By The Romans – Still Relevant To Us

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 23, 2020

So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the ...read more

Reflection C.5 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Israel Is An Important Indicator

The New Church

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Feb 8, 2022

The church is an organization that will have a similar life cycle as any living person. Is it possible that some churches need to die so new church's are born? Is your church fulfilling the spiritual needs of its membership.

Reflection C.6 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Waves?!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 27, 2020

Matthew, Mark and Luke have a lot in common. But only Luke mentions waves in connection with 'End Times'. It sounds strange. But perhaps it isn't.
