Numbers 14:2 After the Israelite spies came back from the Promised Land, ten of them warned … Continue reading An Ungrateful Murmuring
In part one, I discussed my thoughts on why I believe we are in the “end times” predicted thousands of years ago in The Bible. In part two, I offered possibly pathways to explaining away the Rapture and reaching the one-world government, currency, and religion. In this section, I hope to deal with the person … Continue reading The End Times (Part 3): The Antichrist
****UPDATE: 3/18/2020**** The COVID-19 pandemic should be driving people to church, but our churches have been shutting their doors to “live stream” services. The unsaved will likely not respond to this tactic as much as they would to meeting face-to-face with Christians. Fear typically drives unbelievers to God. After 9/11, churches were filled.

These are extraordinary times, and I cannot believe I am updating this again in just six months. In early 2020, we … Continue reading The “End Times” (Part 1): Are We There Yet?
Coronavirus. COVID-19. Pandemic. Whatever your desired nomenclature, there is no doubt that this pestilence is a global phenomenon.

There is an interesting trend in Christianity that far too many preachers refuse to acknowledge – liberal churches are producing agnostics and future generations will not saved at all. According to sociological research conducted by Roger Finke and Rodney Stark (The Churching of America, 2005), church strength can be gauged using three propositions: 1) The … Continue reading The Cycle of Secularization
