  • What are these “doctrines of demons” Paul warns us about? What can we do in this age of deception? What does the Bible have to say about the End Times? Matthew’s Gospel gives us the response of Jesus to this question. “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things be?

  • What is Common Core curriculum, and why is it effective in uniting parents, professionals and politicians in such a protest?

  • The Book of Ruth is a classic love story of loyalty and devotion, and yet it also contains some surprising insights that go far beyond the historical narrative itself.

  • As a group of believers, we are leaving our young people woefully unprepared to face a frequently hostile world once they leave the nest. When one looks around a church or a conference, many times there seems to be something missing. The Youth. It is a common complaint. Parents ask their pastor and friends, “What’s happened to my kids?”

  • In our haste to be “like Jesus,” many of us have forgotten the first basic step of the Christian life, which is to know the extent and the depth of god’s love for us personally.

  • When we choose to follow our own feelings and desires over God’s will, we quench His Spirit in us. This, then, blocks His Love not only from flowing through us to others, but also hinders us from experiencing His Love personally.

  • No matter where we live in the world or whatever generation God has chosen to place us, we will experience financial uncertainty. Thank goodness for timeless divinely inspired Scriptures that tell us how to live.

  • Worship is critical because it’s the key to God’s presence. It’s what brings us intimacy with the Father; worship is a two-way communication.

  • The Metacosm is the domain of transdimensional creatures such as angels (fallen and unfallen), demons, and—surprisingly—UFOs and other ostensibly hybrid forms encountered in the Scriptures.

  • What does it mean to “abide in Him” or to “abide in the Spirit”? Abiding means remaining in, staying in, dwelling in or continuing in the Holy Place. It means staying in the Lord’s presence. It means continuing to worship Him and be fruit bearers to others.

  • The term “Antichrist” is the most common appellation that fills thousands of books and speculations about his origin, his nature, his agenda, and his destiny.

  • The world is moving into a new phase of labor. It could be termed “Jobs 3.0.” We’ll have one group of people who will be working in higher skilled jobs that, as yet, have not been automated and a permanent underclass living off government assistance. Many would say we are already there.
