Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 16, 2021

The issue of the Apostle Paul's thorn-in-the-flesh has been hotly debated for centuries.

Gird Yourselves And Lament

God’s Refining Fire

The Rapture Theory Debunked

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 23, 2014

The Rapture Theory has been adopted by many Christians as being sound doctrine. In this study, we examine the subject by noting that this subject was created by taking texts out of context and ignoring plain statements of Scripture.

The Rapture Theory claims, in short, that the Lord will come secretly to resurrect only faithful Christians before the coming of the “Great Tribulation” on the Earth. After the seven years of Tribulation on the Earth, all people will be resurrected and brought before the Judgment Seat ...read more

The Best Is Yet To Come

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 14, 2023

However, we may not even see a glimpse in this life. We may have to go through what seems like Hell on the way to Heaven.

Everyone likes to use the phrase the best is yet to come. If you are not a Christian the worst is yet to come. Your life may be golden here, but in the end your life will be Hell for eternity.
