The Rise of a One-World Government and Its Consequences for the Christian Community From a careful study of what the Bible says about the end times events, we have found six broad categories directly related to this topic. Each of these is significant in its own context, for the Christian community at least: (1) a one-world government is eventually to be established; (2) after a great war, there will be a need to heal and rebuild; (3) all the world's leaders will agree that the greater good will be served by all humanity becoming part of a one-world political system; (4) at first, the...

In our text, St. Peter refers to the return of Christ no fewer than five times (to say nothing of allusions or references to it elsewhere in those one and one-half chapters). This is the Apostle who is so strong on grace and life (a life which is a matter of relationship with God), that many have accused him of not caring about good works. Not at all. Peter knows that the behavior of Christians does not save them, but must be worked on, nurtured, strengthened, encouraged. The Christian life is to find the Him who is our way back to the Father, and to grow in appreciation of Him, in Christ....

We know who God is not because any of us was smart enough to figure Him out, but because out of His own love, grace, and mercy He has spoken to us. Moses says this explicitly in Deuteronomy 4:32: “To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.” The Israelites would not have known God at all unless He had spoken to them. This is the miracle of revelation, and I fear that we give this doctrine inadequate attention in our churches through our teaching and preaching. Instead of recognizing God’s speaking to us in Scripture as a miracle of grace,...

One of the hallmarks of our time is that we face a crisis of preaching. Indeed it would be an exercise in self-delusion if we tried to pretend that nothing is wrong with the preaching that happens in most evangelical churches. Let me ask some honest and difficult questions: If you picked an evangelical church at random and attended a Sunday morning service there, how likely is it that you would hear a faithful expository sermon, one that takes its message and its structure from the biblical text? If you answer that question honestly, you’ll admit that your expectation would not be very high....

Nuestra era actual está marcada por una crisis en la predicación. Sería un error ignorar los problemas presentes en la predicación encontrada en la mayoría de las iglesias evangélicas. Considera esto: si eligieras al azar una iglesia evangélica y asistieras a un servicio de domingo por la mañana, ¿qué tan probable es que escucharas un sermón expositivo fiel derivado del texto bíblico? Es probable que tus expectativas no fueran muy altas. La realidad es que la predicación, según la Biblia, es sinónimo de exposición. Desafortunadamente, muchos predicadores y congregaciones...

LO PROHIBIDO Y LO INVITADO Juan 7:32 al 39 En esta gran fiesta del templo, Jesús lloró dos veces. La primera fue el llanto de reprimenda (Juan 7:28), la segunda fue el llanto de compasión y piedad (Juan 7:37). Para ellos, al igual que para muchos ahora, Jesucristo era un gran misterio. Lo conocían, pero no lo conocían. No podían conciliar al "hijo del carpintero" con el Hijo de Dios. Sin embargo, Jesús declara valientemente su relación única con el Padre, y el propósito de su venida al mundo (Juan 7:29). Fue a esos "oficiales" enviados por los fariseos y los principales...

Is there an after life?
What happens when I die?
What Does The Bible Say Happens after we die?
Does the Bible tell us what happens right after death?
At a Given Time
The Bible speaks a lot about life and death and God gives us two choices as it says, “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live” (Deut 30:19), so we must be “loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them” (Deut 30:20). We can either repent and trust in Christ or face God’s judgment after we die or at Christ’s return. Either way, those who reject Christ die with the wrath of God on them (John 3:36). The author of Hebrews wrote, “it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment” (Heb 9:27), so we know that a judgment comes after a person dies, but if we have trusted in Christ, our sins were judged at the cross and our sins have been taken away because it was “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2nd Cor 5:21). Everyone of us has an appointment with death and none of us know when that day will come, so today is the day of salvation if you have not yet placed your faith in Christ (2nd Cor 6:2) today is the perfect day to do so.
