Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then...

Another calendar year has passed, along with all of it’s victories and tragedies. No doubt we’ve all experienced or witnessed many of the “times” declared in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. I do not think that anyone needs to have prophetic insight to say that the year 2019 will...

Luke 6.46-49 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good...

This Scripture is found in Galatians 5:6. Actually, this verse can be split into two parts. One, “faith works” (the result of genuine conversion) and two, “by love” (the fruit of genuine conversion). Genuine faith works. Saving faith is active faith. James explains...

“For I have not held back from announcing to you the whole purpose of God.” (Acts 20:27) This verse states the apostolic ministry of Paul. Note that just prior to this verse he records his motivation, and just after this passage he records a warning. One of the cliché...

In the third chapter of Acts, quite an interesting scene takes place. A lame man is healed by God through Peter and John. What I find interesting about this whole incident is the reaction of the “temple-goers”. Questions: Why were they going to the temple? Who were...

Gideon is recognized in Hebrews 11:32 as a man of faith. As is true with so many of us, Gideon didn’t consider himself a “super-hero”. In fact, when God called him to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Midianites, he informed the Lord that He made the wrong choice....

To be a respecter of persons, if you examine Strong’s Concordance for the New Testament number 4382, means to show partiality. One thing that each believer has to understand by faith, because God’s Word declares it to be so, is that God is not a respecter of persons....

It is vitally important that we draw our image of God from Scripture alone. Neither a good nor a bad earthly father can be used as a comparison to our heavenly Father, for obvious reasons. The best dad (and praise the Lord for them!) has limitations, but our Father in...

One of the things that God seemed to be repeatedly perturbed about was the nation Israel’s evil imaginations or thoughts that were so contrary to both His purposes and plans. Three Hebrew words describing Israel’s imaginations clearly reveal a twisted, hostile frame...

How would you react if you found your spouse lying with another man or woman? What emotions would arise? Anger? Hurt? Bitterness? I’m sure that just the thought of this happening enrages you. Did you ever stop to think about adultery of another kind – spiritual...

This passage is found at the end of 2 Chronicles 20:12. More than we would like to admit, these words are very familiar to us in our daily walks: “Lord, we just don’t know what to do.” Unclear direction from the Lord never means a lack of fellowship with the Lord. In...

The Song of Solomon is one of the books of the Bible that is often overlooked. Its pointed love theme nearly causes one to blush. Sadly, it may sound like “the way it used to be” with us. This, like all other Scripture, is God inspired for the same reasons any other...
