(To read Part 1: click here.) He’ll step into history at the time of the great apostasy (falling away from the faith). (2 Thessalonians 2:3) He’ll be a miracle worker ~ but not by God’s power.

Is Your Fire Fading?
August 10, 2010 by
On a recent Sunday afternoon my 11-year old daughter asked my wife to come into her room. Once there (and alone) she put on the saddest face and said to her mother, “I think the message (in church) was about me. I think my fire is fading.” (That’s right. She’s just eleven.) The sermon was […]
When Sheep Beat Up The Shepherd
August 7, 2010 by
(This is a follow up to the post: “When Shepherds Beat Up The Sheep” -> click here.) They are in the line of fire. They are on Normandy Beach pinned down. The heavy guns are trained on them. They won’t come out alive. They are not meant to. (A professor in college told us: “Don’t […]

When Shepherds Beat Up The Sheep
August 1, 2010 by
Have you ever been injured in church? I’m not talking about tripping on the steps or getting a splinter from the pew (we don’t use those anymore, but it fits). Rather, I’m talking about when the Pastor (shepherd) starts (quote) “throwing blows” from the pulpit. Here’s how it happens. The Pastor is upset over something. […]

He’ll be a politician ~ and a crafty one at that. (Revelation 17:12-13) He’ll be a literal military genius. (Revelation 13:4) He’ll be charismatic. He’ll be able to “wow” the crowds with his great speaking ability. (Daniel 7:8) (He’ll make Hitler look like an amateur.) He’ll be a “law breaker.” He’ll operate illegally. He’ll be […]
Dangerous
July 27, 2010 by
I once introduced myself to a friend of my daughter’s, “Hi. I’m dangerous. Nice to meet you.” And why not? Am I not supposed to be? Am I not supposed to be “dangerous” as a Christian? As a believer in Jesus Christ, I am lethal. I am toxic. I am radioactive (with the love of […]
