Perhaps the Book of the Prophet Zephaniah is skipped over by some who would rather not hear its proclamations of judgment: judgment on Judah (Zeph 1); judgment on the Gentile nations (Zeph 2:4-15); judgement on Jerusalem (Zeph 3:1-7); judgment on the nations: “All the earth shall be devoured with the fire of My jealousy.” (Zeph [...]

“I come to the garden alone….” This hallowed hymn always strums an emotional chord deep within me. It beckons me to that place of sweet delight with the Lover of my soul. “And the joy we share, as we tarry there, none other can ever know.” It is there that we enter the Holy of [...]

My precious granddaughter’s name is “Hephzibah”. It’s a beautiful name but it isn’t simple and it isn’t convenient. When people first hear it, they want it re-pronounced, spelt, and explained. But the meaning is lovely: “my delight is in her”. Would every child know that their parents delight in them! God placed this name in [...]

We confess this frequently at my church:  “Christ has died. Christ is risen.  Christ will come again.”   These are foundational Christian beliefs.  Do you believe Christ is coming again?   Many,many  Scriptures reference the Lord’s Coming.  Some of these just reference the “Day” or the “Revelation” but are included to show how foundational the Second Coming [...]

Do you think you can spot an antichrist spirit?  If you know the real Jesus Christ, you should be able to discern the [...]

In I Thessalonians 5:1-10 Paul describes the arrival of the day of the Lord.  Considering that the preceding verses spoke of Christ’s return and when Paul uses the word Lord he is speaking of Christ in particular it seems most appropriate that this phrase mean the coming of Christ.  Further support for this interpretation comes [...]

I Thessalonians 4:13-18 speaks of Christ’s return and taking His saints with Him.  The express purpose of Paul in this section is to encourage the Thessalonians (v. 18) in particular regarding those who are asleep (v. 13), that is the dead in body.  What stands out most to me is that whether you have died [...]

In order to understand the passages in I Thessalonians regarding Christ’s return it is important to understand the context of the book.  The first two chapters are helpful in understanding who the Thessalonians are and how Paul views them.  Later in the book of Thessalonians Paul encourages them regarding Christ’s return.  I believe two important [...]

I love charts because it helps me to see the big picture in a glance. Years ago, I made a chart of the various characteristics of each Church as described in Revelation 2-3. Unfortunately, that style chart doesn’t fit into this blog format so I’ve revamped it somewhat. Because the Lord admonishes us to “hear what the Spirit says [...]
