“Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” To understand this chapter, it is not enough to try to identify who this harlot is; […]

God took me on a bit of a journey today, as I ended up learning a bit more about why my Rapture-centric friends believe in the Rapture. I’m not saying I think as they do, but I CAN say that I understand their point of view better, and that’s progress! I am a firm believer […]

The Three-Part Harvest This entire chapter draws its imagery from the rhythm of the yearly harvest, a cycle deeply familiar to Israel.

In this Podcast, I conclude my thoughts on Amillennial vs Premillennialism and remind myself where my focus needs to be. The conversation between those two points of view is important, but this conversation should NOT be driving the bus; in other words, the controlling factor of how we live as believers.
