Eternal life resides in Jesus and in Him alone. No one else! This is true now and will also be the case after Jesus removes His true church from the earth.
In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
What do people need the most? The answer remains the same as it’s always been: A clear understanding of the Gospel. By this I mean that people need Jesus, not the one that so many today create in their mind but but the One revealed on the pages of Scripture.
All the biblical depictions of this other-world domain, whether it be the glories of Heaven, the earth during Jesus’ thousand-year reign, or the eternal state, far surpass the mythical Narnia in their captivating beauty and splendor.

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.
Most people live in a “bubble of normalcy” where they feel secure because of exaggerated and unrealistic hopes of either a return to normalcy or of their current lifestyle continuing indefinitely into the future unhindered by the perils around them.

As I watch the signs of the coming Tribulation period fall into place, I conclude that one might righty say, “There’s a lion in the street!” The perils to our wellbeing are real; the difference between a sluggard and a wise person, however, rests in where they look for wisdom. The sluggard looks to himself while the wise looks to Scripture;.
