The Trial of the Centuries

Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum Ariel Ministries Throughout history there have been many trials which have earned the title “The Trial of the Century.” The Trial of Socrates and the Scopes Trial are prime examples. But there is one particular trial that was more than just “The Trial of the Century”; it is “The Most Famous Trial in All History.” This trial revealed man’s viewpoint of the Son of God. The destiny of all men who have ever lived or will live is inseparably linked to its outcome. It is the trial of Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah. Then were gathered together the …

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN?

The Bible declares, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23 KJV). Because of sin, none of us can pay the price to enter heaven. Regardless of how many “good” works we do, we are still sinners by birth, unable to merit God’s favor. We have come short of God’s righteous standards.Thus, in order to enter heaven, we need God’s righteousness. The good news is that, through the finished crosswork of Jesus Christ on Calvary, we can be made “the righteousness of God in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). We can receive God’s righteousness …

Understanding the Times of the Signs – by Jack Kinsella

From time to time, it is good to take a step back from all the minutiae and historical details and current events relative to Bible prophecy, and reconsider the awesomeness of Big Picture overall. For two millennia, the faithful have kept watch, looking hopefully for signs that indicated that they might be among the generation whose time would see the coming of the Lord. For the generation actually living in the times of the signs, there are so many signs to juggle that they almost become routine. There is yet another old saying to the effect that “familiarity breeds contempt.” …

 Satan’s Corruption of Humanity

       Daniel E. Woodhead Introduction The Bronze Dragon by Hawkwood Our Lord Jesus told us that the conditions on this earth are going to be just as bad as they were before He destroyed the earth with a Flood many years ago: Matthew 24: 37 “37But as the days of Noah were, so […]

Worry Is Distracting

Philippians 4:6 6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Anxious. Intriguing word. It literally means “to be divided” or “distracted.” . . . We find a perfect illustration of this in the story of Mary and Martha recorded in Luke 10:38–42. Taking a minute to look into their little abode, we find that Martha is distracted, anxious. Jesus is sitting down talking, and Mary is sitting at His feet, enjoying His presence, . . . and His teachings. But not Martha. She is busy back …

WHEN WE FEEL HELPLESS

Psalm 50:15 (KJV)15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. In adventure movies, we often see people trapped and helpless, frantically looking for a way to escape. Real life can sometimes feel that way for us, and as we begin to look for a way out, our prayers become filled with requests for rescue—physical healing, changed circumstances, additional provision. Did you ever consider that even more important than physical rescue is spiritual liberation? (See Eph. 6:12.) First and foremost, Jesus Christ delivered you from the power and penalty of …

Question: “Who am I in Christ?”

Answer: According to 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” There are two Greek words which are translated “new” in the Bible. The first, neos, refers to something that has just been made, but there are already many others in existence just like it. The word translated “new” in this verse is the word kainos, which means “something just made which is unlike anything else in existence.” In Christ, we are made an entirely new creation, just as God created the heavens and the earth originally—He …

Remembering the Former Things of Old

Jack Kinsella ”Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:” (Isaiah 46:9-10) The Bible contains sixty-six different books, written by forty different men, most of whom lived and died in different centuries, in different countries, many of them unaware of other prophets or other prophecies. The writers of the Bible were shepherds and kings, statesmen …

God’s Perfect Plan

Psalm 37: 3-6 “Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.” Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. “Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. _____________________________________________________________ Do not give up! You have followed the Lord to this point, so why would you think of compromising now? His plan for you has not changed. In this world, the temptation will seek to get the best of you, but you must not let it derail you. All your …

PRAYING THE PROMISES OF GOD

ISAIAH 40:88 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. Jesus made it clear that we would endure many hardships in this life. But God provided amazing tools to keep trials from overwhelming us. For instance, He placed His Spirit inside each believer to guide and empower. In addition, He gave us prayer so we could not only communicate and stay connected with our Father but also bring Him our requests. Today I want to focus on yet another one of His marvelous gifts: the Bible. Scripture is the actual Word of God Almighty. …

Rapture – Critical Considerations

Gary M. Fisher A great feature about Bible prophecy is it has a built-in element of hope. It is the only reliable source for good news about the future. With this in mind, it seems a good time to review the great, positive future we have in the Lord. In addressing the need for hope, one of the greatest hope-building promises the Lord ever gave during His ministry is the one in which He said that He would come and take us to the Father’s House where He is preparing a place for us (John 14:6). The disciples were confused …

Living The Impossible – by Hal Lindsey

Someone recently reminded me of something I said in a sermon many years ago. “The Christian life is not a difficult life to live. The Christian life is an impossible life to live.” At first, those words are disturbing. We’re like the disciples. After the rich, young ruler turned away from Christ, the Lord said something that disturbed and astonished them. “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for …
