The Falling Away Comes First

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 18, 2024

The Thessalonians were looking forward to His coming. But something caused them to be “shaken in mind and troubled.” The assurance Paul gives to them gives assurance to us as well: the Lord has promised to return for His own, and we have not missed it. The falling away will come first.

"Last At The Cross, First At The Tomb”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 12, 2022

Easter is not about us. Easter is not about our new Easter clothes. Easter is about hope. Easter is knowing that death on this earth is not the end of life. Your soul, your spirit, was created by God to live forever. Includes a quote from Mel Gibson's Pasion of the Christ.

The Only God, The First And The Last Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Aug 7, 2022

It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

One of my favourite Bible stories is in 1 Kings 18. That’s the chapter where God has a showdown with Baal, a dramatic contest on the top of Mount Carmel. You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more

What is the first step in knowing God? 1. ADMIT YOUR NEED — Your faults, failures, bad habits and human conflicts are all indications that your need is critical.
