Escape From the Fallen Planet

by

Pete Garcia Growing up, I used to listen to a Christian pop-rock band called ‘Crumbacher’, who released an album in the mid-80‘s called ‘Escape from the Fallen Planet’. It was a little campy, full of keyboard riffs and cheesy 80‘s outfits, but looking back on it, I’ve grown quite fond of the concept of it as in regards to the Rapture. So, it’s not that I’m a fan of escapism, but of one day being reconciled to my Creator and becoming what I was intended to become. Not a tent of flesh, prone to sin and the fallenness of this …

The Holy Spirit: Filling the Believer

by

When we refuse to submit to the Holy Spirit in every area of our life, we limit His work in and through us. Ephesians 5:15-2115 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 …

Nowhere to Hide: Part II (Dedicated to the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Haters)

by

By  Pete Garcia July 22, 2019 Perhaps you’re a Christian, but you think the Pre-Tribulation Rapture is all a bunch of warm hooey. It is an escapist eschatology; built specifically for weak-spined western Christians who are afraid of a little persecution. You frequently tell anyone who will listen, that the word “rapture” is not even in […]

Moving Day

by

Dr. Mike Murphy Among my many, many faults and shortcomings, not always asking others for prayer is near the top of that list. I have always found it easier to pray for others than to ask them to pray for me. Looking to lead others in prayer for those around me in need, instead of directing that focus to the problems in my life. And I must admit, it often leaves me trying to put the proverbial lipstick on a pig, With the cancer, others will frequently contact or message me, asking me, out of concern, how I am doing. …

Courage in the Lonely Hour

by

It is in the midst of loneliness that we learn to rely exclusively on God. DEUTERONOMY 31:6-86 Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.” 7 Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance. …

Joseph, A Type of Christ

by

from Care for God’s Fruit-trees and other Messages by H. A. Ironside The story of Joseph as given in Genesis (chapters 37 to 50) is perennially fresh and delightful. Young and old alike revel in it. Looked at as an old-world picture of customs and people long-since vanished, there is a freshness and charm about it that stirs the heart and holds our attention in a remarkable way. But in studying Scripture there is not only the literal application, which is always important, but every part of the Word of God has a spiritual, typical, and dispensational application as well, …

Is Salvation Eternal, or Can It Be Lost?

by

The question is often asked. If someone is truly saved, can they lose this? Those who say “yes,” haven’t thought the issue through very well. Usually, a question on this matter will be accompanied by the example of a homosexual who has called on Christ and then fallen back into his old ways. We will go with that below, but it could be any sin or addiction leading to a supposed “loss of salvation.”First, a few questions. Answer now, and then see how you score. No need to email me your answers. It’s just for you to think it through …

The Judge of All the Earth Will Do Right :: By Paul Kocourek

by

by RRadmin7 Category:General Articles I believe in the Pretribulation Rapture (Pre-Trib Rapture). Many do not. Some insist the Church will go halfway through the 70th Week’s seven years (Mid-Trib Rapture). Others insist on maybe three-quarters (Pre-Wrath Rapture). Still others insist on going through the entire seven years of the 70th Week (Post-Trib Rapture). I wonder if the non-Pre-Trib Rapture proponents really understand what they are saying. Let us look at some rather unnerving math about the 70th Week (aka the Tribulation). The Bible teaches in Revelation chapter 6 that, by the time the first four Seals have been broken, 1/4th of the …

Why did the Messiah have to die?

by

“By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.” – Hebrews 10:10-14 This passage points out how the high priest had to sacrifice …
