Listen to The Book of Revelation, Part 43 by MorningStar Ministries - Word for the Week on hearthis.at The Lord warned in Matthew 24:12 about the time of the end of the age that we are now in: “Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold.” Lawlessness begins when we start to...

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.

Consider that if you give a child what they are demanding when they throw a tantrum, you are hardening their heart by causing them to think they can control others with...

In our search for understanding about the book of Revelation, it will help to understand for what we are looking. What are the two great “beasts,” “Mystery Babylon” and the “Great Harlot?” These are obviously great evils that come upon the earth, but are they connected? Could these be speaking of...
