Lessons from the Oldest Living Person
Bessie Cooper died yesterday in Georgia. She was officially the world’s oldest living person. Her son reported that she had her hair done earlier in the day as if she was preparing to go. She had become something of a celebrity as she was the first Georgian to ever old a world record. I don’t […]
Prepare
It did not freeze last night. Contrary to some weather forecasts, it only dropped to about 37 here in Daphne. But I did notice my neighbors covering their plants yesterday. And even though they will awake to realize their work was not needed, they will still take similar preparations next time. When living in the […]
Ready for the Alarm?
5:00 AM comes early at the Evans house. The alarm sounds and we soon rise to begin the day. Both of us head to work and the children must be readied for school. Getting out of bed later than 5:00 always causes trouble. I awoke one day this week four short minutes before the alarm […]
Rapture Failure
Hello? Is anyone here? Well, if you are reading this it must mean that you either missed the “rapture” or Harold Camping was dead wrong again with his date setting hysteria. Camping is the 89 year old radio preacher from California who says the rapture was to come yesterday and the actual end of time […]
Wake Up, Man Up – Romans 13:11-14
While studying for another article I came across this paragraph in Romans. I think because I have been reading David Platt’s Radical the passage grabbed my attention. Paul is essentially saying get ready, man-up, its time to get serious about our faith. Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you […]
Second Chance Salvation & The Dangers of Dispensationalism
To some, the idea of the Rapture, Armageddon, the Antichrist and a 1,000 year earthly reign of Christ may seem harmless, although errant, variations on the end of time. But buried inside these teachings is a hideous idea that will condemn souls to eternal punishment. It teaches a second chance salvation which is not taught […]
Apocalyptic Literature
The Bible can be understood. God would never tease mankind by giving him a message only to make it incomprehensible. We can know the truth (John 8:32). But some sections of Scripture are more challenging than others. For example, “the abomination of desolation” from Mark 13:14 can be studied and comprehended but against “Thou shalt […]
The Rapture Package
There is much talk about the “Rapture” and the events associated with the return of Jesus in judgment. People like to talk about the “signs of the times” and speculate that the return of Jesus must be very soon because of unfolding world events. At the moment of this writing tensions are high on the […]
Is That A Ghoul in my Front Yard?
We do not like to think about death – except at Halloween. This once a year fright night brings around all sorts of “undead” to haunt the neighborhood in search of goodies. As expected there is also the usual crowd of scary movies released just in time for the spookie holiday. I thought I would […]
