    When heaven opens the books, God’s justice, mercy, and love stand revealed—and the Lamb alone secures our place in eternity.

He writes: “The court was seated, and the books were opened.” — Daniel 7:10 Just a simple line. But ...read more

    There’s no perfect church. Jesus commends a faithful church—Philadelphia—for keeping His Word and not denying His name. The question for us: not “Are we perfect?” but “Are we faithful?”

    Have you ever heard this expression before? “If you’re looking for the perfect church, and you find it – if you find the perfect church – well you better not join it because it won’t be perfect anymore.” I love this. And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more
