Imminency. It tells us we live each day on the edge of eternity. The Rapture might begin at any moment.
However, as the moments become days and then weeks, months, and years, we struggle to maintain our eager anticipation of Jesus’s appearing.
Finding Peace in a Fear-Mongering World
The Claim that Jesus Now Reigns Over the Nations Dishonors Our Savior
The claim that Jesus is already reigning over the nations is extremely popular in churches today. However, is this the rule of Jesus over the nations of the earth? Is our current experience the kingdom to which the New Testament says we are heirs?
What is this kingdom to which the Bible says we are heirs as believers.?
He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon
As I wondered about how to respond to the normality bias so evident in churches today, I thought about the title of the Francis A. Schaeffer book that I read in college, He Is There and He is Not Silent. I believe that name might be adjusted for today as, “He Sees, He Is Not Silent, and He Is Coming Soon.”
Sacred Promises and Our Hope of Meeting Jesus in the Air
As we watch the world grow increasingly violent and lawless, how do we know that the Lord will rescue us before the world feels the full weight of God’s wrath? What if we are not walking with the Lord at the time of His appearing? Will we be left behind?
1 Thessalonians 5:1-10 answers these questions for us. For those of us in Christ, it’s a passage that drips with God’s grace toward us as New Testament Saints.
The Forgotten Resurrection: Why Do So Many Pastors Hide This Glorious Truth From The Saints?
The Bible is quite clear about our joyful hope of receiving immortal bodies at Jesus’ appearing (1 Corinthians 15:48-54, Philippians 3:20-21).
This is not a fringe teaching, not at all, but it comes from several passages where the wording is unmistakable and cannot be misconstrued to mean anything else than our hope of resurrected bodies .

The Bubble of Normalcy
Many today live in what I call a “bubble of normalcy” where they feel secure because of exaggerated and unrealistic expectations of either a return to normalcy or of it continuing indefinitely into the future.
Even a great number of believers reside in a world of inflated expectations regarding what lies ahead for them.
The Resurrection: That's How We Know!
Jesus’ resurrection is the foundation of our faith. We know what we believe is true because we serve a risen Savior.
In this post, I touch on many things we know because of Jesus’ empty tomb. We know that someday we will possess an incorruptible and immortal body because Jesus rose from the dead with a glorified body.
The Sign of Fulfilled Prophecy
12 Signs the World is Running Out of Normal
I understand why so many question Jesus’ soon return given the fact that it’s been two thousand years since He promised to return.
In spite of the long wait, I’m convinced that Jesus’ appearing is imminent because of the myriad of signs telling us that the Tribulation period is right on our doorstep.
The Triumph of the Redeemed
It’s the particulars of our glorious future that provide us with a hopeful and biblical context into which we can place the storms and tragic circumstances that come our way and persevere when during the dark times in which we live.
It’s a glorious adventure that starts with the Rapture of the church.

Conspiracy Theories or Spoiler Alerts?
Many regard talk of threats to their wellbeing as conspiracy theories, outcomes they see as so far out of the ordinary that they cannot possibly be true. But what if they are more than just annoying musings of doomsday purveyors?
This article asks you to make the call: Are they conspiracy theories or spoiler alerts of what lies ahead in the future?

The Anchor Of Our Blessed Hope Holds Amid Wicked and Lawless Times
The Magnificent Glory That Awaits Us in Eternity
We use the word “glory” to refer to many aspects of our walk with the Lord. In a real sense, glorify His name when praise Him and sing worship songs. We see a foretaste of God’s glory in beautiful sunsets, the grandeur of snowcapped mountain tops, and in many ways through the beauty and wonder of nature.
We will not see the full display of Jesus’ glory, however, until He appears to take us up to heaven!
