WHAT GOD LOVES & WHAT GOD HATES
An election year often brings out the worst in people. Sadly, even Christians abandon the "love thy neighbor” spirit. Some have lost sight of the qualities of true righteousness, replacing these with moral relativism, which is subject to popular culture. “...every man is doing what is right in his own eyes...” (Proverbs 12:15) If we are God’s, we are responsible to not only know what He loves, but equally important, to know what He hates.
DIVINE GUIDANCE OF THE BIBLE PATH
The historic journey of God's Word reads like a mystery novel, complete with intrigue, brave heroes, treachery and murder. Satan has used every conceivable means to destroy it, but the Bible has survived! To Christians, the Bible is a priceless treasure — the thoughts of the Divine Creator Himself! We should not only reverence this incredible Book, but should also appreciate the divinely directed path it took to arrive at this end time destination.
COMPELLING SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
CONFIRMS A CREATOR
There is something quite unique about humanity in contrast to all other life on earth. We humans have superior intelligence, but we also possess a curiosity and appreciation of the infinite as well as the finite. This is powerful evidence that humans are designed by an intelligent Creator. Even more compelling are the many scientific discoveries which corroborate gems of Bible truth written three millennia ago!
PROPHETIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
JEWISH PASSOVER TO CHRISTIANS
For Christians, knowing the deeper meaning of the original Passover brings greater appreciation of "Christ our passover who is sacrificed for us." (1 Cor. 5:7) Learn the many prophetic fulfillments pictured throughout this historic Passover event! Christians should have great reverence for Jesus' sacrifice, so why has his directive to memorialize his death been replaced with Easter, bunnies, & eggs?
One prophetic theme weaves its way like a golden thread throughout the Scriptures — God’s merciful plan which was set in motion before the foundation of the world. Every holy prophet has spoken of this plan to restore all that was lost in the Garden of Eden. Bible chronology indicates we are nearing the very end of this thread of prophecy. “…spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.” —Acts 3:21
Every architect has a blueprint from which to accurately construct his creation. So too, God has a blueprint for His Creative Plan outlined in the Bible. And, just as an architect asks that no one judge his project by its unfinished work, we should not judge God’s Creation before its completion. View God's prophetic blueprint which illustrates His merciful plan from the creation of man to the completion of His Grand Creative Work.
In this time of great prophetic expectation, the expression “new heavens and new earth” is frequently interpreted to mean the complete destruction of planet earth, followed by the creation of a new planet. However, this gloomy prospect is far from the message of 2 Peter 3:13. Examination will reveal the truth of this highly symbolic verse, which describes the end of an era of evil — not the destruction of planet earth.
ANTICHRIST:
Bible Truth vs. Popular Fiction
Popular Christian books and movies present a sensationalized depiction of Antichrist — fiction it is... biblical teaching it is not! Learn the Bible truth about the definition, prosperous rise and ruinous demise of Antichrist. Discover what the Protestant Reformers taught about the identity of Antichrist based on Scripture. — 2 Thessalonians 2:3-8
