Biblical prophetic scenarios of the end of the age have much to say about the darkness growing darker and the light and the glory of the Lord becoming brighter. Which it will be for us is determined by us.

      It is a biblical principle that we are as close to the Lord as we want to be. We’re promised that if we seek Him, we will find Him, and if we draw close to Him, He will draw close to us. The choice of how close to Him we are will determine the light or the darkness...

      Last week we began to look into what the life would look like for those who stay on the path of life until the end. This is important because the Lord said it was those who “endured to the end” that would be saved (see Matthew 10:22, 24:13, Mark 13:13).

      As the United States approaches another election cycle amidst growing political polarization and international uncertainties, it is crucial for citizens to reassert the foundational norms that have guided our nation to higher levels of success and prosperity than any nation in history.

      Many believe the Constitution of the United States is divinely inspired, but it is not on...

      Any time believers in our congregation display weakness, we should try to strengthen them in the faith and not reject them. We should keep trying to help them as long as they continue to try. However, when they quit, it is not possible to prop them up. As harsh as it may seem, we cannot expend that which has been given to us in service of those who do not have the will to receive it.

      Nowhere do we see the Lord trying to compel or beg people to follow Him if they did not have it...
