What can we say about God's wrath and the Bride of Christ? Pretribulationists often declare that Christ doesn't beat up on his Bride - therefore the rapture must occur before the Tribulation. Is that true? One leading proponent of a non-pretrib view took exception to Ed Hindson's declaration that the … [Read more...]
Is the Pre-Wrath Rapture Satanic?
Note: Our Google Analytics recently picked up unusually high volume traffic on our website. We researched this back to a prominent Prewrath Rapture View group on Facebook. In one of the threads, this article was lumped in with Jan Markell's alleged accusation that PW is satanic and a graceless article by Bill Perkins. … [Read more...]
The Battle for Inerrancy
The battle for inerrancy isn't new. It is a cyclical battle which has dogged the church for centuries.

The issue has become a battleground for Christians once … [Read more...]
Welcome to Facebook Jail
Have you ever been convicted of a cyber misdemeanor and sentenced to Facebook Jail? I've never been jailed by Facebook - at least not yet. But they deleted one of my Islam related news posts once. As I recall the article was all over Facebook, so I was miffed that mine was removed. My reasoned guess is that a … [Read more...]
Human Nature and Imminent Rapture Problems
Human nature and imminent Rapture problems: is the expectation of Christ's imminent return to rapture the church an incentive for holy living? Some think it isn't. What about other alleged problems?

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
When will Christ return? What are the signs of His premillennial coming? What's taking Him so long? When I first expressed interest in prophecy I was quickly reminded that people have been watching for Christ's return for centuries, and it hasn't happened yet. We've all the seen mocking cartoons of a man with long … [Read more...]
Remembering Nabeel Qureshi
On the 16th of September 2107, God called 34 year old Nabeel Qureshi home to glory after a long battle with stomach cancer. He leaves a grieving wife and daughter behind, as well as parents, a sister, and countless people whose lives he touched. I first came to know something of him through his book (Seeking Allah, … [Read more...]
What Drives Our Biblical Interpretation?
What drives our biblical interpretation? Should we interpret Scripture based on tradition or science? Most Reformed Christians would disagree. They'd likely even add that their theological position is biblical, anyway. If we believe that Scripture is God breathed, we should also agree that it must drive our theology … [Read more...]
Where are you heading, Friend?
“I’ve drunk of every fount of pleasure and quaffed every cup of fame, yet, alas, I die of thirst!” ~ Lord Byron I haven't been able to ascertain if this attribution to Byron is correct. But, true or not, it seems appropriate to begin this article with it. The quote came across my desk after watching a conference … [Read more...]
