Antichrists- Part 1

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 3, 2020

The Bible teaches that when the Antichrist comes in the end times, he will try to be the Christ that men are looking for.

First John 2:18-27 contrasts Christians with Antichrists. Verse 18 says, "Ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists, by which we know that it is the last time." That verse introduces a term that is very familiar to Christians: Antichrists. This is the ...read more

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 30, 2024

What can you do when God is far away? You cry out to him and receive no comfort, no strength, it just seems like your prayers bounce off the ceiling. That actually happened to Jesus, and when it did, he quoted a psalm that teaches exactly what to do in times like that.

Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Introduction What can you do when God is far away? You cry out to him and receive no comfort, no strength, it just ...read more

John begins chapter two by addressing his readers as "my little children." "My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin."

The bad news is that we do sin. The good news is that if we confess our sin God is faithful and righteous to ...read more

Prepare To Meet Your God

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021
