In 2 Timothy 3:1, Paul warns, “Realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.” This statement should bring us encouragement, as Acts 14:22 declares, “It is through many tribulations that we must enter the kingdom of God.” Trials and tribulations are doorways to His kingdom. The...

When the disciples asked the Lord about the signs of the end of the age, the first thing He said was, “ See to it that you are not misled” (see Luke 21:8). Obviously, this will be a time dominated by deception. Other biblical prophecies corroborate this. Could deception get any worse than it is now...

We continue this week with what it means to be a bondservant of the Lord. One thing it means is that we live to serve Him, not just ourselves. It also means attaining a level of trust with the Lord where He can count on us to do with excellence any job He gives us, and we can trust the Lord fully...

Our goal for these Words for the Week is to cover timely, important issues from a biblical perspective, with the depth needed to not only know the truth but to be able to stand on it. Understanding what is called “the beast” in Revelation and how it will attempt to rule the earth through its power...

“And he causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, and he decrees that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of...

As we study the seven churches Jesus addressed in Revelation, we need to see how they apply to their time, our time, our churches, and to us personally. As we see our connections with the church in history, we will see how closely the history of our own local church can mirror the churches in...

In these times when lying and deceiving to gain political advantage are so prevalent, we must become even more devoted to the truth. As we’re told in 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, God will destroy “… the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of...

We can be humble and contrite as the ones the Lord is seeking to build His house with, but this will not guarantee that we will not fall into the same traps as others have. Being humble and contrite is a good foundation for the other qualities we need, but there is more needed. Our trust cannot be...

We must keep in mind that God is as gracious as He can be to all people because He loves all. So, He prefers mercy over judgment.
