HEREAFTER: It’s Far Better Than You Can Imagine 

In our new book, Hereafter, Terry James and I explore what the Bible reveals about eternity. What we discovered from our examination of Bible prophecy is just what the subtitle says, “It’s Far Better Than You Can Imagine.”

5 Popular Lies About the Rapture

5 Popular Lies About the Rapture

Within the walls of most churches that claim to believe in the inerrancy of Scripture, the most unpopular belief today is that of the pre-Tribulation Rapture. In such places of worship, one never hears about it while in other instance, it’s flatly denied.

As a result the backlash against our ‘blessed hope,” much of what people read about it in books and on social media just is not true.

What Lies Behind Today's Siege of Bible Prophecy?

What Lies Behind Today's Siege of Bible Prophecy?

Over the past few years, I have noticed an underlying current in teachings that deny such things as the Rapture, the seven-year Tribulation, and Jesus’ thousand-year reign before the eternal state. They have the net effect of diminishing Jesus’ role in end time events, which inevitably shifts the focus of the saints away from the Savior to the things of this life.

2024 Solar Eclipse: Coincidence or Final Warning?

2024 Solar Eclipse: Coincidence or Final Warning?

Could the upcoming completion of an X across the U.S. midsection by the April 8, 2024, eclipse point to another catastrophe in the months afterward such as happened in 1811 after another darkening of the sun completed an X in the same area?

Is this just an uncanny coincidence, or does it point to something far more ominous?

Scripture Must Have the Final Say in All Things Pertaining to Both Our Faith and Israel

Scripture Must Have the Final Say in All Things Pertaining to Both Our Faith and Israel

Since our status as justified saints can never be undone, the same perpetual quality must of necessity also apply to God’s promise of restoring a kingdom to the nation of Israel.

Both rest in the enduring quality of God’s Word and the unchangeable nature of His promises to us.

Why Was it Necessary for God to Choose One People?

Why Was it Necessary for God to Choose One People?

Why did God choose the sons of Jacob, later named Israel, to be His special people. The Bible does not tell us why; it was His sovereign choice, which Romans 9 makes clear.

Although we cannot look inside God’s mind on this matter of selecting Israel, in hindsight, we recognize why it was necessary for the Lord to choose one specific race of people.

Post-It Notes from The Edge: The Salve of Bible Prophecy

Jesus not only guided me safely through many “brutal” attacks against my heart, but He also brought me to a place of ministry that reaches thousands around the world.

How? What kept me from falling off the edge? Sometimes I wonder myself, but I know what the Lord used to keep me sane at such times.

He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon

He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon

As I wondered about how to respond to the normality bias so evident in churches today, I thought about the title of the Francis A. Schaeffer book that I read in college, He Is There and He is Not Silent. I believe that name might be adjusted for today as, “He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon.”

The Rabbi Who Sparked Israel's Quest for the Land

The Rabbi Who Sparked Israel's Quest for the Land

Because of a rabbi’s influence and the friendships that he formed, England went from forbidding Jews to live within its borders to publishing ben Israel’s book, The Hope of Israel, in English, honoring him late in his life, and opening its doors to the Jewish people.

The Mistaken Diagnoses of the Scoffers

The Mistaken Diagnoses of the Scoffers

The Rapture has become the object of scorn in many churches, even where it was once taught as a core belief. And of course, those outside of Christ give us much grief regarding our hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing, but that’s to be expected.

What lies behind the intense scoffing of our hope?

Good News for Weary Saints

Good News for Weary Saints

At times like these, the words of Scripture bring the most comfort to me and I suspect that they do the same for you. We can endure because the words on the pages of our Bibles ring out with the good new that Jesus will take us home to glory before the start of the seven-year Tribulation.

Sacred Promises and Our Hope of Meeting Jesus in the Air

Sacred Promises and Our Hope of Meeting Jesus in the Air

As we watch the world grow increasingly violent and lawless, how do we know that the Lord will rescue us before the world feels the full weight of God’s wrath? What if we are not walking with the Lord at the time of His appearing? Will we be left behind?

1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 answers these questions for us. For those of us in Christ, it’s a passage that drips with God’s grace toward us as New Testament Saints.

A Fatal Illusion

A Fatal Illusion

It’s been heart-wrenching at times, but now I fear I have become numb to the nonstop drumbeat of suffering, disability, and death about which I read on almost a daily basis.

In the past couple years, I have read several hundred reports depicting the pain, suffering, and death caused by the COVID injections. Stories thoroughly buried by the mainstream news, but nonetheless real to those still suffering or grieving the loss of loved ones.

The Forgotten Resurrection: Why Do So Many Pastors Hide This Glorious Truth From The Saints?

The Forgotten Resurrection: Why Do So Many Pastors Hide This Glorious Truth From The Saints?

The Bible is quite clear about our joyful hope of receiving immortal bodies at Jesus’ appearing (1 Corinthians 15:48-54, Philippians 3:20-21).

This is not a fringe teaching, not at all, but it comes from several passages where the wording is unmistakable and cannot be misconstrued to mean anything else than our hope of resurrected bodies .

It's Far Better Than You Can Imagine

It's Far Better Than You Can Imagine

My purpose for this article is not to expound upon the many reasons why we live in in the season of Jesus' appearing, but rather to explain why it's a cause for great jubilation regardless of our circumstances.

Heaven will fill us with unbounded joy and delight. Count on it.

King Charles III and His Doomsday Clock

King Charles III and His Doomsday Clock

On June 28, 2023, King Charles III and London Mayor Sadiq Khan activated a “climate clock” showing that there are 6 years, 24 days, 49 minutes, and 41 seconds left to limit global warming before it brings doom upon the world.

Despite the lengthy history of planet earth, King Charles III apparently knows to the second how much time we have left before the doom of civilization due to global warming.

We Are Heirs to the Kingdom

We Are Heirs to the Kingdom

The powerbrokers in our world work feverishly to bring about a global Marxist government over which they will rule and enslave the people of the world.

These globalists are powerful, famous, and exceedingly wealthy, but they will be forgotten relics of the past when we inherit an everlasting kingdom.
