2017: The Year in Review

Prophecy – Signs Monday, January 02, 2017 Pete Garcia After a volatile and ‘seemingly unpredictable’ election year, the newly forming Trump administration likewise promises to be one that is largely driven around the personality of Donald Trump. His campaign of Make America Great Again (MAGA) has pumped new vigor into a sagging economy, and has spurred both trepidation and curiosity of almost every nation around the world. President Elect Trump is unlike anything, anyone has ever seen in that office, and has been closely scrutinized for operating largely off script and predictably-unpredictable. With that said, Fortune Magazine (Fortune.com) has teamed …

A MAN AFTER GOD’S HEART

What would it take for you to be described as a man or woman after God’s own heart? Acts 13:13-22 (KJV) 13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem. 14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down. 15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of …

A SAVIOUR WHO WILL SAVE

“…Jesus Christ of Nazareth… Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:10,12 KJV). Today’s Scripture tells us who alone can save man from the everlasting hellfire he deserves! A frequent objection made against Christianity is that every religion has “good” members, and to ignore them and limit heaven to a few Christians is unfair. This is a defected notion. How does one arrive at a definite conclusion when there is no one standard to gauge everyone’s “goodness?” They are “good” according to whom, …

The Need for Revelation

Reflections From the Psalms Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? (Ps. 2:1) Without a true, inward knowledge of Jesus Christ, there is little more than any of us can do than, “imagine a vain thing.” We will live in the futility of our own mind; the self-assurance of our own mind. This is certainly true of unbelievers. But sadly, it is true of many who profess Christ. There are many whose supposed knowledge of God is a product of their imagination. They try to walk with a Jesus that they have created from out …

I Am the Life

Reflections In him was life. (John 1:4) If I put my faith upon Jesus Christ, I do not merely receive a THING called, “eternal life.” I receive Christ Himself — IN WHOM there is all life. Jesus Christ is THE LIFE. (John 14:6) Thus, if Christ is in me, I am alive – in Him. If He is not in me, then I am spiritually dead. Many professing Christians limit salvation to what amounts to a new legal classification. Yes, the doctrine of justification by faith rightly states that because Christ died for us, that if we put our faith …

Revelation Msg 5 Times of the Gentiles II

In this fifth message from the Book of Revelation Dr. Woodhead continues the parenthetical discussion of the “Times of the Gentiles.” The focus in this session is the Last World Empire. The last World Empire is imperialism and terminates with the Antichrist stage.

The Prodigal Son: by JACK WELLMAN

The parable of the Prodigal Son is a story about God’s redemptive grace and mercy. It is a story of His unconditional love and forgiveness. It is about God seeking sinners. In Luke 15, Jesus tells about the youngest son coming to his father to ask for his inheritance ahead of time. The youngest son would only receive one-third of the father’s inheritance in accord to the Old Testament laws in Deuteronomy 21:17. He then took the inheritance and ran away to spend it all on having a good time. He had plenty of “friends” to help him spend it …

~ಌ~ I AM a Christian ~ಌ~

Not sure about anyone else but it is really something how people look at you when they know you are a Christian.. They look at us with eyes of entrapment.. looking even closer from afar to see a way to label.. Watching for a slip up so they can discredit each Christian along the way.. Waiting for us to fail.. waiting for us to trip so they can turn it into gossip.. Being a Christian does in no way make us perfect.. We have no magic wands.. We have no special powers.. We are only being transformed into perfection.. God …

What is Christianity?

Reflections Of all of the numerous passages that could be presented as a short definition of Christianity, perhaps the best one is found in Colossians: Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Col 1:27) Christianity is CHRIST IN US, or if you prefer, Paul often speaks of US being IN CHRIST. These are the same Truth. There is certainly much that could be added as to how Christ comes to dwell in the believer, and of the Christian walk that emerges from His presence in us. But in the end, our personal Christianity is founded upon whether Christ dwells in …

The True Vine

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper. (Ps. 1:3) Jesus Christ in us through the Spirit of God is, “the river of living water.” It is only by being planted into Jesus Christ as our living river – as our life — that His life can become our life in a practical way. It is incorrect to say that Jesus Christ gives us a THING called, “eternal life.” No. Jesus Christ gives us HIMSELF …

What Does The Eagle Represent In The Bible?

The Eagle Bears us Up The image of God as an eagle is found throughout the Bible but primarily in the Old Testament. It is a sign of strength and able to bear much weight, as Moses wrote, “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself” (Ex 19:4). This is further symbolized when Moses said of God “Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions” (Duet 32:11). The eagle …
