All the “Trump is the Antichrist because I flunked Eschatology,” folks are in full bloom.The Israeli Peace Plan has finally surfaced and some people are losing their minds because they’ve been taught that the Antichrist is the “one who makes peace with many,” in Daniel ch. 9. “And he shall make a strong covenant with […]

Not only exclusive to non-believers, but also including us in the Church, humans seem to have an uncanny understanding for violence, and a notable fascination with it as well.

If God “Knowing” someone, equals their election and inescapable salvation, then logically speaking, God doesn’t know the reprobate, therefore, He isn’t “All Knowing.” The transliteration of the word “know,” or “knew,” in 2 Timothy 2:19, is “ginóskó.” Another verse we see this word appear, is in Matthew 1:25, which states that Joseph took Mary as […]

If you wait for God to humble you, then you will ineffectually wait till the grave calls you. The Bible tells us to humble ourselves, not to sit on our thumbs waiting for God to do it for us. Humility is a choice of the wise, it is laying down your arms, your intellect and […]

I wanted to wait a day to post this, as it’s best we pause at the thought of war and really think about what we could be getting ourselves into.
