As The Year Closes

I. A Season of Turmoil and Testing Scripture teaches that seasons of upheaval are not accidental. They expose foundations, reveal where trust is placed, and separate eternal hope from temporary security. As global instability intensifies through war, economic uncertainty, political division, and social unrest, believers are reminded that shaking precedes fulfillment.   “For yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.” Hebrews 12:26 (KJV) God’s people are not promised exemption from trial, but they are promised strength to endure. Peace in Scripture is not the absence of turmoil but confidence rooted in the Lord.   “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 (KJV) II. Treasures That Endure Beyond Collapse The Lord consistently contrasts earthly systems with heavenly investments. Empires rise and fall, currencies fluctuate, and institutions crumble, but what is stored in heaven remains secure.   “Lay not up ...

Peace and Safety

I. The Illusion of Peace in the Last Days Scripture repeatedly warns that the final generation will be marked by loud proclamations of peace while judgment quietly draws near. Human efforts to broker stability in the Middle East, especially concerning Israel, often mirror this biblical pattern. Political declarations, treaties, and global applause cannot produce the peace promised by God because true peace is not a policy but a Person.   “While they are saying, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV) Israel remains central in biblical prophecy because the land belongs to God by covenant, not by negotiation. Any attempt to divide or redefine what God has established invites judgment rather than blessing.   “For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.” Psalm 132:13 (KJV) Modern headlines echo ancient warnings. When leaders promise peace without repentanc...

The Gospel Must Go Forth

I. The Spirit Still Moves Among His People The Lord has not ceased from His work. Even as the world grows darker, His Spirit continues to shine through those who are faithful. This divine presence empowers believers to labor in love and truth, bearing witness to the light even in perilous times.    “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”  Isaiah 60:1 (KJV) False teachers continue to deceive multitudes. Yet the Spirit-filled believer remains anchored in truth and must discern and expose the lies infiltrating the Church.    “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”  Matthew 24:24 (KJV) II. A Time of Partial Tribulation and Birth Pangs We are not destined for wrath, but we are not immune to suffering. Before the fullness of tribulation unfolds, there is refining. This time of sorrow and delay is not abandonmen...

False Peace

I. The Land, the Promise, and the Unchanging Word From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture is clear that the land promised to Israel is not a political invention but a covenantal reality. God Himself declared its boundaries and purpose, and He warned against attempts to divide what He has established.    “Thus saith the LORD… this is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations.”  Ezekiel 5:5 (KJV) The modern world treats Israel as a negotiable issue, yet Scripture treats it as a prophetic centerpiece. Every peace initiative that ignores God’s covenant framework stands on unstable ground.    “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.”  Romans 11:29 (KJV) History repeatedly confirms this truth. Diplomatic efforts promise stability while Scripture warns that peace divorced from righteousness produces sudden collapse. II. False Peace and Sudden Destruction The Bible speaks directly to the danger of counterfeit peace. This is not merely a political warning, but...
