What is frightening is the “sensitivity training” to accept, embrace and advocate every kind of sin has escalated.  If you believe what the Bible teaches about any controversial subject, you will be allowed to silently believe but not allowed to practice or say what you believe, especially in "post-Christian" Europe. God is going to allow human … [Read more...]

There is no specific instruction to celebrate or observe Easter in the New Testament. Easter is not about “Easter eggs” or wearing pastels. All these are pagan practices. To a Christian, Christ is risen and alive ‘every day’, and his life should be enjoyed and celebrated as such. Christians also have a Passover meal regularly, for the Lord’s … [Read more...]

During this weekend, Christians around the world will be celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. For the Jews, they will be celebrating Passover, which commemorates Israel’s escape from Egypt when the blood of a lamb was painted on their door frames and saved their firstborn sons from death.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun but God alone can satisfy], yet so that men cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 AMP) I don’t usually … [Read more...]

Isaiah prophesied that a king would come who would reign like no other. Details of his reign are given: his birth; his ministry in ‘Galilee of the Gentiles’; his lineage, from the line of Jesse; his anointing to do God’s work. Anyone who doubts the validity of Christ’s claim to kingship needs to look back to the accuracy of Isaiah's … [Read more...]

God created a special sinless blood in a very special and involved manner. 800 years before Christ, the Old Testament prophet Isaiah predicted that: Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God with us) (Isaiah 7:14 … [Read more...]

In her book Treasures in Dark Places, Leanna Cinquanta shares a powerful, haunting story of an encounter she had with Jesus Christ. It’s worth recounting here because she came face to face with the suffering Messiah so clearly revealed to us in the prophecy of the suffering servant described in Isaiah 53: Face-to-Face A new year had begun—1986. … [Read more...]
