The Importance Of Teaching Bible Prophecy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 13, 2022

The events that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are coming to pass more rapidly each day. Bible Prophecy needs to be taught in the churches, for our "Blessed Hope" is about to appear (Luke 21:28: Titus 2:11-15).

The events currently happening between Russia and Ukraine demonstrate the obvious instability of worldwide leadership, the continuous slide into debauchery, perversion, along with increasing hatred, blind rage, and violence against one another and God.

Not All Is Lost

Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Mar 25, 2022

I was invited to minister at a conference this weekend. The Theme is, "NOT ALL IS LOST." I wondered why they phrased it that way, and why not "All is Not Lost,"

But when I continued to meditate on this I understood that this is what the Holyspirit wanted us to focus on. NOT ALL IS LOST! Do not rephrase or rearrange the sentence but pause, reflect and let it sink in NOT ALL IS LOST! Loss is one of the most devastating issues with no rules or plans. It ...read more

Temptations -- Jesus' And Ours Series

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Jan 1, 2025

Temptation is our awful struggle not to lose ourselves and our potential to lose ourselves. Temptation also highlights God’s mercy and grace in our lives in the wilderness for forty minutes, hours, days or years.

In Terms Of Eternity

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023

The Bible teaches that after death (Hebrews 9:27), we will face judgment and enter eternity, either heaven or hell. Consider what that means and how it should motivate us to spread the Gospel in these last days.
