Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, and his special guest, accomplished Bible teacher, Dorothy Little discuss the biblical view of “End Times.” It is pointed out that there has been a proliferation of books and videos for the last several decades with many of the books ending up on the bestseller list. These two Bible scholars offer their opinions on why there is so much interest in the subject of “End Times.” The future found in Revelation 21:1-5 that promises God will wipe away every tear and death shall be no more creates a view that God will create a new earth and a new home and society. These promises are why the study of “End Times” creates a nearness to Jesus. When we realize that Jesus promises that he is coming soon it redirects our focus on our relationship with Jesus and away from speculation about the coming of an antichrist and the tribulation. This podcast ends with a prayer for the Lord to give us strength or encourage in our anticipation of the return of Jesus Christ. Can also be viewed on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/y1YpwOB5eQc.

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, discusses the origins of the season of Lent. Lent is intended to be 40 days of fasting, prayer and penance.

Dr. Hall also explains why ashes are used to make a cross on the foreheads of believers during Ash Wednesday services. What Lent has become today is very different than what was planned by early church leaders. Many Protestant churches refuse to recognize the season of Lent and Dr. Hall reviews the beginnings of that rejection by the Protestant reformists. The Protestant reformists point to the lack of any scriptural basis for the observance of Lent, among other things.
