After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the… Continue reading»
There is an interesting talk here about Bible prophecy, specifically focused on genetics and the Antichrist. As part of the discussion the matter of sin and maleness came up, and I’ve examined that issue before. But I’d like to once again highlight the problems that arise from concept of sin passed through only the Y… Continue reading»
One thing I’ve learned from watching online conversations is that a lot of people are hungry for some kind of awakening to a new consciousness. They are disillusioned with the world’s leaders and long for someone to step up and fix things. They want to believe, but in someone or anyone but God. Many who… Continue reading»

One would presume that a title like that would be for an article about the quality of our lives as Christians, and of course that’s the goal: to be like Jesus (Rom. 8:29). But today, as the churches plan to celebrate “Easter”, I’d like to focus on Jesus’ resurrection as it pertains to the physical… Continue reading»
I sometimes read articles at Grace Thru Faith, mostly about prophecy. I consider Jack Kelley one of the better prophecy teachers, though I strongly disagree with him on some other matters. But today’s post made a most intriguing observation: Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me… Continue reading»
As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth;… Continue reading»
