While some contend that the mark of the beast is non-literal or spiritual, meaning a mental allegiance (forehead mark) or physical action devotion (hand mark), this seems unlikely to me, since you need the mark to buy and sell. This economic aspect points to a bar code, chip, implant, RFID...

When my wife and I were searching for a new church to attend and serve in, we filled out the visitors card at each church we visited. We checked the box indicating we’d like a church representative to come to our home to explain the church. We were Baptists, but we explored Baptist, Nazarene...

We may pray fervently for something, trusting and praising God with all our might — but we do not receive what we prayed for. If the thing we prayed for was extremely serious, and not getting what we prayed for leaves us devastated, disoriented, and depressed, our faith in God can be shaken...

To one who truly repents, sin looks very different than it does to him who has not repented. Instead of looking desirable or fascinating, it looks odious and detestable. He is astonished that he ever could have desired such a thing. Impenitent sinners may look at sin and see that it will ruin...

Some scholars say that we should adore the mysteries of Deity and not try to figure out every little detail. Many devout questions will not be answered in this life. Yet attempting to probe deeply into the arcane secrets of God’s Word is an expression of our respect for the veracity and...

Taya Smith has an angelic voice. I heard this song on WBNH radio, a Moody affiliate, last night and it really impressed me. One of the sweetest songs I have ever heard. We praise God, even when it hurts, in the midst of trouble, anguish, confusion, pain, and suffering. It is a shame that the...

With gullible humans looking to ChatGPT bots as romantic partners and omniscient guides to life, the Anti-Christ seems to have his tyrannical global system in place to force all humanity to worship him. To pave the way, a test religion has been developed...

Do you read about things related to Jesus and say “that was His human side” or “that was His divine side”? Before the Word was incarnated, the Son of God never got hungry, thirsty, sleepy, or worried about anything. So when the Word was born from Mary, He entered a whole new experience as a...

Does your personal physical or mental suffering harm you spiritually? Can it increase or decrease your faith in God? What trials of sickness, injury, anxiety, or other misery are you going through now, or have you endured in your past? Right before Christmas Eve, I slipped on black ice in my...

It must have been bizarre for Jesus to turn into a human being, to be born as a helpless baby, in subjection to Mary and Joseph. As we approach the December 25th celebration of His birth, let us contemplate, however imperfectly, what His life must have been like before He was physically born...

I find it interesting that the Big Bang is being revised by some scientists who now call it the Big Stretch, which is more in line with the Bible. Of course, stretching implies something was there to be stretched. God created via logos generation, speaking the universe into being, then His...

Paul said to examine ourselves to test if we’re truly in the faith. Backsliders and hypocrites tend to have no deep self-awareness of personal sin. But let’s say you suddenly realize your life has been mostly sinful, after responding sincerely to the gospel message, and acting briefly like a...

Nearly every Bible teacher announces grimly that Jesus spoke of hell more than He spoke of Heaven, but based on what? In my Strong’s Concordance, I found 104 instances of Jesus referring to Heaven / kingdom of heaven, but only 28 references by Jesus to Hell or implications of hell fire. To...
