    What I have read from those who believe in the Rapture, all the events described in Matthew 24 are yet in the future. In particular based on current events the belief is that it is about to happen in the near future. No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20).…

    There is of course time when nature around us becomes violent. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, and other sorts of storms which bring great problems to humanity as a whole. What we have to consider is that God set laws in motion for the preservation of all humanity. Storms of one kind or another cause concern about…

    As I write this article two earthquakes have occurred, one in Italy and another in Burma. The death and destruction from such events is hard to imagine. Recently in the state of Louisiana flooding has caused tremendous damage with people losing their homes and property. Tornados ripping across our country often leave behind death, destruction…

    The prophet Jonah receives a command from God to go to Nineveh (Jonah 1:2). He flees responsibility and heads the other way. If a person seeks to disobey God, they are always moving away from God. No doubt there is sins that are ones of ignorance. The case of Jonah depicts one knowing exactly what…

    A man named Felix had an opportunity to meet and study with the apostle Paul. Felix’s wife was a Jew and he had more knowledge about the way which Paul was speaking about (Acts 24:22-24). He was not swayed by the enemies charging Paul but instead desired to hear what Paul said. The book of…

    I find it hard to believe that individuals who want us to believe we are not under law, ignore passages like Romans 8:2. In that scripture we have the wording of “law of the Spirit”. If there is a law of the Spirit and it is connected to Jesus the Christ, then you have both…

    Matthew records for us that Jesus, a second time cleansed the temple area. The enemies of Jesus came to challenge Him on the issue of authority. He placed them on the hot seat by asking where John got the idea to baptize people in water for the remission of their sins (Matt. 21:23-27). Following this…

    Paul in his second letter to the brethren in Corinth made a contrast in 2 Cor. 1:24. On one hand you have the wording of “dominion over your faith” and on the other hand, the words of “helpers of your joy”. A reasonable mind would know that dominion over your faith is not consistent with…

    Jesus promised to build His church (Matt. 16:18). Did He build it? Paul says that the church is the house of God (I Tim. 3:15). The book of Hebrews shows that Christ is a Son over His own house (Heb. 3:6). He purchased the church with His own blood and therefore it belongs to Him…

    The above words are found in the 84th Psalm verse 10. In the verse the righteous man makes a contrast for all future readers of God’s Word to think about. What is the contrast? The righteous man chooses to be a doorkeeper (lowly position) than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. On one hand…
