We learn many things about waiting from King Saul’s example. This insight, however, doesn’t come from his godly character but from his failure in all the tests the Lord put before him.
Awake and Watching
The good news is that Paul doesn’t limit participation in the Rapture to those who are watching for it. The opposite of looking for Jesus’ appearing is not that of physical death, but rather that of being asleep in the sense of not paying attention to the sings of the times, a common malady among the saints today.
Hope-Killing Precepts: Catholicism’s Key Departure from Scripture and Its Ramifications
Five hundred years have passed since the Reformation began and yet the influence of the Roman Catholic Church remains strong. I’m not referring to the mammoth oligarchy that seeks to dictate the lives of an estimated one billion people, but rather its continuing influence upon churches outside its realm, including many that adhere to the inspiration and inerrancy of Scripture.
Torch-Lighters, Modern Israel, and the Rapture
The path to unbiblical teaching always begins with those who illuminate their paths with their own wisdom rather than the light that comes from the words of Scripture. How many times have we heard people say that Jesus is not the only way to eternal life despite what the clarity of what He said in John 14:6?
Invitation to a Lavish Feast
Invitation to a Lavish Feast
The dearth of sound biblical teaching on Bible prophecy has created a void that false teachers have filled with a wide assortment of wayward beliefs regarding the church, Jesus’ appearing, the Second Coming, and Israel. As a result, most believers cannot discern the season in which we live and place their future expectations on temporal outcomes rather than eternal realities.
In Invitation to a Lavish Feast, I seek to provide the saints with a firm foundation for their hope in Jesus’ imminent appearing.
Can God Change His Mind about Israel? Or About Us?
What Are You Waiting For?
Our expectation is not only that of meeting Jesus in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:17), but also that of a resurrection body; one that will be a huge upgrade from our weak “flesh and blood” bodies. No matter what we experience in our current aging and disease-prone bodies, we know it’s temporary. And nothing, not even death, can change the fact that when Jesus appears, He will give us immortal bodies.
The Devastating Consequences Of The Church Ignoring Our "Blessed Hope"
In Romans 8:23, the apostle identifies a key aspect of Jesus’ appearing, “the redemption of our bodies,” and then in verse 24 he states, “For in this hope we were saved.” Paul regarded the event we call the “Rapture” as a key belief because it signified the “hope” contained in the saving message of the Gospel.

What Would Jesus Say?
If the first nine days of 2025 are any indication of what lies ahead, we are in for a wild ride. It was popular at the start of this century to ask, "What would Jesus do?" As we view pictures of the devastation left by the fires in Southern California, perhaps it might better to ask, "What would Jesus say?" about our day.

What Will It Take for the Church to Wake Up?
The complacency of those outside of Christ is what I might expect given the vast deception and gaslighting that floods the airwaves. Sadly, most believers also live in a similar state of unawareness concerning the perils that threaten their future wellbeing.

The Most Neglected Biblical Truth in Today's Churches
I have heard many presentations of the Gospel where the pastor never said the words “eternal life,” or if he did, he mentioned it as an afterthought or as part of John 3:16 during his closing prayer. Why do so many pastors refuse to mention the biblically sound promise that we will live forever in imperishable bodies like that of our Lord Jesus
