Top 3 Reasons Why Christians Are Ignoring End Time Prophecies

by

Posted by James Charles   Why aren’t more Christians talking about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and end time prophecies? In a period of time that has so much visible evidence, an overwhelming majority of Christians do not discuss it at all. Many do not even tie current world events and figures to anything biblically prophetic. They don’t put the thought in their overall world perspective and future that the world will be very different when Jesus comes back again. This article covers the 3 top reasons why Christians are ignoring end time prophecies. It also clears up the …

Question of the Day: Q. My family and I are trying to witness to a small group of young adults. Their beliefs are currently a hodge podge of the various agnostic worldly views. Can you offer us any suggestions?

by

Gracethrufaith   A. When Paul went to Corinth, it was a large prosperous city. There were many eloquent speakers, promoting a wide variety of beliefs. Paul knew that trying to debate them on their individual opinions was foolish so he resolved to “know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” (1 Cor. 2:2) That’s still good advice . This group of young adults can easily side track you with irrelevant questions if you’re not careful. Stick to the basics. We’re all sinners in need of a savior. Out of love, Jesus agreed to be our Savior by giving His life …

“Even If”

by

Sometimes all we have to hold on to
Is what we know is true of who You are
So when the heartache hits like a hurricane
That could never change who You are
And we trust in who You are
Even if the healing doesn’t come

And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come

Lord we know Your ways are not our ways
So we set our faith in who You are
Even though You reign high above us
You tenderly love us
We know Your heart
And we rest in who You are

Even if the healing doesn’t come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come

You’re still the Great and Mighty One
We trust You always
You’re working all things for our good
We’ll sing your praise

Even if the healing doesn’t come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come

You are God and we will bless You
As the Good and Faithful One
You are God and we will bless You
Even if the healing doesn’t come
Even if the healing doesn’t come

Daniel 3:17-18 “If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire ; and He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. But even if He does not, let it be known to you, O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”

Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: (begins the seven years)

by

…and in the midst of the week (3 and 1/2 years after the confirmation of the covenant) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ~~~~~~~ Daniel 11:31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and …

The Seven Deadly Sins – by Jack Kinsella

by

In the Book of Proverbs, God lays out a list before us of what are often called the “Seven Deadly Sins.” They earned that nickname, not because those sins will cause a believer to lose his salvation, but because they are the most destructive sins to a believer’s spiritual progress before the Lord. “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and …

Light Is Come

by

Reflections Any gospel that does not tell the Truth about the lost condition of man, and his need to be saved from it, is a false gospel. Any gospel that denies the sin nature denies the need for the Cross. John wrote: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the Truth is not in us.” (I John 1:8) The Truth will expose our lost condition. God exposes the Truth about us so that we might see the Truth about HIM – that He is our only Savior. God is redemptive God and all that He does …

“Guilty”

by

Romans 1:16-17

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 
“Guilty”
 
When did it become breaking a rule
To say your name out loud in school
When your name’s the only one that sets us free?
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When your life gave us all eternity?
 
Even if it gets me convicted
I’ll be on my knees with my hands lifted
 
If serving you’s against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I’ll stand right before the jury
 
If saying “I believe” is out of line
If I’m judged ’cause I’m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I wanna be guilty
 
I’ll rise up and honor you
I’ll testify to the good you do
‘Cause your grace and your mercy have overtaken me
 
So even if it gets me convicted
I’ll be on my knees with my hands lifted
 
If serving you’s against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I’ll stand right before the jury
 
If saying “I believe” is out of line
If I’m judged ’cause I’m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
 
Then I wanna be guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways, your truth, your life
I’ll pay the price to be your light
 
If serving you’s against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I’ll stand right before the jury
 
If saying “I believe” is out of line
If I’m judged ’cause I’m gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
 
Then I wanna be guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming
Your ways, your truth, your life
I’ll pay the price to be your light
 
Oh, I wanna be guilty

 

Isaac And Ishmael, An Allegory

by

Isaac And Ishmael, An Allegory For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a promise. (Galatians 4:22-23) Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave …

In the account in Mark 14:72, of Peter’s reaction to his denial of Jesus

by

In the account in Mark 14:72, of Peter’s reaction to his denial of Jesus, it tells of his going out and weeping bitterly. I wondered why, at the core, he was doing that. Was it because he was exposed as the fraud he really was? Was he disappointed that the brave warrior he envisioned himself to be had crashed and burned? Was it because the One who knew everything about him, loved him with an unfailing love? I am thinking that it must have been for all of these reasons. In Peter’s ongoing revelation of the Christ, over the period …

Mark 11:20-26 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever …

“For me to live is Christ.” Philippians 1:21

by

The believer did not always live to Christ. He began to do so when God the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was brought to see the dying Saviour making a propitiation for his guilt. From the moment of the new and celestial birth the man begins to live to Christ. Jesus is to believers the one pearl of great price, for whom we are willing to part with all that we have. He has so completely won our love, that it beats alone for him; to his glory we would live, and in defence …

Psalm 104

Psalm 104 104 Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the …

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

by

It is a happy way of soothing sorrow when we can feel–“HE careth for me.” Christian! do not dishonour religion by always wearing a brow of care; come, cast your burden upon your Lord. You are staggering beneath a weight which your Father would not feel. What seems to you a crushing burden, would be to him but as the small dust of the balance. Nothing is so sweet as to “Lie passive in God’s hands, And know no will but his.” O child of suffering, be thou patient; God has not passed thee over in his providence. He who …

January 15th: 70 Nations Will Gather In Paris To Discuss The Future Of Israel

by

On January 15th, representatives from 70 different countries will gather in Paris, France for an unprecedented global conference.  The stated goal of this conference is to promote a “two-state solution” as the way that lasting peace will be brought to the Middle East. In Israel, there is a tremendous amount of concern that whatever is agreed upon at this conference will immediately be used as the basis for a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel and create a Palestinian state. But things would have to move very rapidly in order for that to happen, …
