The voice of God is one of the most profound and awe-inspiring aspects of the human experience. It is the divine expression of God’s will, His character, and His heart for humanity. From the very beginning of creation, God’s voice has been central to His relationship with His creation. It was His voice that spoke the universe into existence, bringing light out of darkness and order out of chaos. His voice is not distant or impersonal but deeply intimate, inviting His creation into communion with Him. To hear the voice of God is to encounter the very essence of who He is—holy, loving, ...

Here are 10 Bible-based facts that help us see the difference between criticism and conviction: Criticism often tears down; conviction builds up – Criticism looks for faults to expose, but the Spirit’s conviction brings awareness of sin to lead us toward repentance and restoration (John 16:8). Criticism is man-centered; conviction is God-centered – Criticism focuses on what others think about us, while conviction is rooted in God’s truth and what He says about our hearts (Romans 3:19–20). Criticism condemns without hope; conviction offers grace – The enemy uses accusation to ...

John's emphasis on the spirit of Antichrist reflects the spiritual and doctrinal battles that the early church was facing. The Christian community was surrounded by various teachings and philosophies, some of which directly contradicted the apostolic message. These false teachings often came from within the community, from individuals who claimed to be believers but whose teachings deviated from the truth. John sees these influences not just as misunderstandings or errors but as the manifestation of a deeper, more sinister force—the spirit of Antichrist.

The Preterist Charismatic Movement aims to raise apostles to establish the Church in the workplace, transforming cities, states, and nations into Christian culture. Often called Partial Preterism, or 7 Mountain Dominionism. I have written a simplified description of this Movement and its theological and social implications. In some portions of this eBook, I have included more secular views of Charismatic Preterism to demonstrate concerns held within modern culture. Even though I am firmly committed to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, I see those very concerns held by many outside the ...

The Second Epistle of Peter, often referred to simply as 2 Peter, stands as one of the most intriguing and instructive letters in the New Testament. Its brevity, combined with the gravity of its themes, offers a powerful message to believers across generations. Written by the Apostle Peter, this letter is generally regarded as his farewell message, composed toward the end of his life. As a final exhortation, it reflects the urgency of Peter’s desire to strengthen and equip the Church against false teachings and to remind them of the core truths of the faith. The epistle is imbued with a ...

At the heart of the Christian understanding of grace is the life and work of Jesus Christ. The incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus are the ultimate manifestations of God's grace. Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross paid the penalty for sin, making it possible for humanity to be reconciled with God. This act of grace is described as a substitutionary atonement, where Jesus took upon Himself the punishment that was due to sinners, thereby satisfying the demands of divine justice and demonstrating the depths of God's love. The resurrection of Jesus is also a testament to ...

The imprecatory psalms are a unique and complex component of biblical literature that grapple with themes of justice, vengeance, and divine retribution. They are set apart by their intense calls for God to bring down judgment upon enemies, those who have committed acts of wickedness or injustice. This genre of psalms, scattered throughout the Book of Psalms, often shocks readers due to their raw emotions and unfiltered expressions of anger, grief, and a desire for retribution. In a broader context, these psalms serve as a testament to the range of human emotions found within biblical ...

This understanding shapes the values, priorities, and endurance of Christians. Recognizing that their ultimate home is not in this world allows believers to hold loosely to material possessions and earthly status, focusing instead on spiritual growth and service to others. It provides a framework for enduring trials and persecutions, knowing that these are temporary and that a glorious future with God awaits. This forward-looking faith anchors their hope in the promise of a new creation, where all things will be made new, and God’s justice, peace, and love will prevail eternally. ...

The Abrahamic Covenant is one of the most foundational elements in the biblical narrative, forming the bedrock upon which the entire redemptive plan of God is built. It is a covenant that God made with Abraham, the patriarch of Israel, which not only shaped the history and identity of the Jewish people but also laid the groundwork for the coming of Jesus Christ, through whom the covenant finds its ultimate fulfillment. Understanding the Abrahamic Covenant and its completion in Christ is crucial for grasping the continuity and unity of the Bible, as well as the overarching story of God’s ...

Mormonism, at first glance, presents itself as an admirable faith centered on family, community, service, and moral living. Many who observe the lifestyle of practicing Mormons recognize their commitment to strong familial bonds, their dedication to help others, and their focus on personal discipline and wholesome living. These values create an appealing sense of security, stability, and purpose, which draws many people toward faith. In this sense, Mormonism offers an attractive outward structure that appears to promote a righteous and fulfilling way of life. However, when one moves beyond ...

For all who say the Antichrist is just a spirit, or a religious political system the volume of evidence which teaches the Antichrist is also an individual will be clarified. As the apostle John spoke of both of an antichrist spirit, and the actual person in his epistle of 1 John. Then in his final writing the Book of Revelation John’s visions of the Antichrist are recorded as confirmation the Antichrist is both a government and a person. When Christians warn of a coming one world government ruled by the Antichrist, I confirm this is the true position of Bible passages.

Christian Identity is Rooted in Sonship One of the greatest truths of the Christian faith is that believers are not only saved from sin, but they are also adopted as children of God. This divine sonship is at the very heart of Christian identity. Many people think of Christianity merely in terms of religious beliefs, moral teachings, or a system of rules. However, the gospel reveals something far greater: those who put their faith in Jesus Christ become sons and daughters of God, receiving an identity that is rooted in sonship, inheritance, and divine relationship. The apostle John ...

The Church of Philadelphia, one of the seven churches addressed by Christ in the book of Revelation, holds a unique position among them as the only church that did not receive any rebuke or correction. Unlike the others, which were either warned, chastised, or even threatened with removal, Philadelphia was instead commended for its faithfulness, endurance, and obedience to Christ’s word. The promises given to this church carry significant implications, particularly in their connection to the kingdom promises made to David, a man after God's own heart. Understanding the history and ...

Why God’s Sovereignty 1. It Shapes Our View of God God’s sovereignty means He rules over all things with wisdom, power, and love. Without this truth, we might see God as small, limited, or distant. But when we grasp His sovereignty, we recognize Him as the Almighty who cannot be overruled. It gives us reverence, awe, and worship, because we know He is the supreme King. 2. It Brings Comfort in Suffering Life is filled with trials, grief, and unexpected losses. If everything were left to chance, we would live in fear and despair. But knowing God is sovereign means that even the hardest ...

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, holds a unique and central place in the universe. From the beginning of creation to its ultimate fulfillment, everything finds its purpose, meaning, and direction in Him. As the sum of all things, Jesus is not only the Creator but also the final goal and culmination of all that has been made. His life, death, and resurrection inaugurated the fulfillment of God’s eternal plan, and through Him, all things are reconciled, redeemed, and brought to their intended end. Understanding Jesus as the sum of all things invites us to explore the profound truth that He is ...

The cry of loneliness is one of the most universal sounds in the human heart today. It is not always spoken in words, but it echoes through sighs, silence, and the restless searching of people who feel unseen. A man scrolling endlessly on his phone at midnight is crying out, though no sound escapes his lips. A woman who posts carefully filtered pictures of herself online is crying ou t, though her smile hides the ache beneath. A teenager sitting in a crowded cafeteria with no one to talk to is crying out, though his eyes are fixed on the floor. Loneliness has many forms, but its cry is the ...

In the dim light of a forgotten age, when the world was young and the stars still sang their songs of order and glory, an ancient man lifted his voice to heaven and asked a question that echoed through the corridors of time: “What is man, that You are mindful of him?” (Psalm 8:4). It was not a cry of pride, nor a demand for significance, but the humble question of a soul suddenly aware of the greatness of the Creator and the smallness of himself. He saw the heavens, the work of divine fingers—the moon, the stars, the rhythm of seasons, the law of sowing and reaping—and something ...

A Biblical look at historical and modern day Jezebel Spirit warfare

The perfect storm that is forming will not only test the resilience of governments and institutions but also challenge individuals and communities to rethink how they live and interact with the world. Traditional models of governance, economics, and social organization may no longer be sufficient to navigate the complexities of a world in crisis. As the impacts of these crises deepen, there will be increasing pressure for systemic change, whether through revolutionary movements, policy reforms, or the emergence of new forms of global governance. However, the path forward is fraught with ...

The debate over the Christian doctrine of rapture. What does the Bible say, and what do historical Church fathers teach. Why many teachers in the modern Church reject the doctrine of rapture.
