Jesus said in these times, “ Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold. But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved” (see Matthew 24:12-13). We must recognize that the lawlessness is the enemy, not the authority people are rebelling against. We must...

If a child has not been disciplined, or held accountable for their behavior, they will likely view any exercise of authority as cruel, extreme, and dictatorial. On the other extreme, those who have been wounded by abusive authority will tend to see even the wisest, most gentle, and caring authority...

When the Bible says the Spirit moved upon the “formless void,” which could also be translated as “chaos,” this describes what the earth was in the beginning. But as the Spirit moved, He brought forth a beautiful new creation. This is what He does when He moves. His specialty is to turn chaos into...

In the Lord’s last recorded prayer before He was crucified, He asked the Father for one of the greatest benefits of all for His disciples: "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth” (John 17:17). To be sanctified in truth is more than just believing it; it is being changed by it. How is it...

In the previous Word for the Week , I began discussing a series of dreams I’ve had recently about the coming harvest. They were warnings about how near the harvest is and how unprepared the body of Christ is for it. Even so, we must now turn to the Lord, for Whom nothing is impossible, as we are...

We have taken some time to prepare for a deep dive into the books of Daniel and Revelation. I was compelled to do this because I know much of what we cover will shake some foundations. For this reason, we need to strengthen our foundations, which is always a good thing, as we are already...

The most basic way to distinguish the church that God is building from what He is not is to know Christ. He is our Shepherd. He has never abdicated that position. He is our Teacher, and He has never abdicated that position. Do not follow anyone who claims to have taken the place of Christ in...

Most of what is considered God’s church at this time is not His church. It has been built by men, not God. He said that He would build His church, and He will. But many sincere Christians who seek to serve Christ are in man’s church, not God’s church. They can still grow and mature in Christ and be...

It was Abraham’s quest to find the city that God is building, not men. In regard to the church, once we see what God is building, it is easily distinguishable from what men are building, regardless of how much men may claim that what they’re building is for the Lord, done in His name. History...

When Israel was told to sacrifice and eat the Passover the night they were delivered from Egypt, they were told, “Y ou shall not leave any of it over until morning” (see Exodus 12:10). As we’re told in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “Christ is our Passover.” When Christians pick and choose which part of Christ...
