“And many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many, and because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.” (Matt. 24:11,12 NAS) It is well known that one of the greatest challenges facing believers in the end times is deception, but are you aware of the second one? While deception increases, so willContinue reading “The Mystery of Lawlessness”

Is There no King?
“In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.” (Judges 17:6) When I read this statement, I do not immediately see how this could be wrong. We are all individually accountable to God for our actions. The context of this verse, however, refers to aContinue reading “Is There no King?”
The Gate of Heaven
“’How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!’” (Gen. 28:17) For the longest time, I did not understand the implications of the dream Jacob had about a ladder that stretched from the earth to heaven (Gen. 28:10-22). Even now I only understandContinue reading “The Gate of Heaven”
Angels and the Holy Spirit
“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Heb. 1:14) Angels have an important role in helping the Church extend the Kingdom of God. They have many functions like bringing God’s protection and delivering God’s messages, but the function we hear little about is their ability toContinue reading “Angels and the Holy Spirit”
The Bride
“‘Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.’ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God.” (Rev. 21:9-10) The Book of Revelation ends with a description of theContinue reading “The Bride”
The Normal Christian Life
“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (Jn. 1:4) After my retirement, my wife and I moved unto an acreage. A large part of the reason for this move was our understanding of the times we live in. We are preparing for more glorious and more difficult days ahead. AsContinue reading “The Normal Christian Life”
The Powers of the Age to Come
“and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come” (Heb. 6:5) As we enter the last days, we can see from a distance the start of the Millennium Age where the Bride of Christ will rule and reign with Christ on the earth (Rev. 20:4). Soon, Christ willContinue reading “The Powers of the Age to Come”
Restoration of the Church
“They have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.” (1Sam. 8:7). Even though this happened in the days of Samuel, there is a principle here that applies to believers today. Of course, we do not want to be guilty of rejecting the Lord as our King, butContinue reading “Restoration of the Church”
The Main Thing
“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 3:13,14) I have never forgotten the instruction theContinue reading “The Main Thing”
The Restoration of All Things
“That He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you, whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things, about which God spoke by the mouths of His holy prophets from ancient times.” (Acts 3:20,21). It is very important for us to understand what the Holy Spirit was declaring through Peter inContinue reading “The Restoration of All Things”
