Listening to a Christian radio program recently I heard two men talking about how most churches in America any more never preach about sin. As a result they said, numerous people are never reminded that sin is bad and even find excuses for their sins in their preachers’ messages. And I got to thinking, a lot.

We’ve been talking about how close we are getting to Jesus coming for His church, and then returning to earth to save Israel and put down all enemies. Before it is too late, the time has come for you to make sure you really are ready. Answer some questions to yourself, about you.

As technology opened new doors to my understanding of Scripture in early 2022, I finally reached a point where I knew I had to preach on something that would be difficult to handle properly.

This is a community submitted press release. Sunlight reflects off scintillating waterfalls flowing into the public baths of the City of Arches. People of all species walk through the eclectic markets of the city, enjoying the intermingling aromas of foods from different lands and worlds. And all the while, above, below, and beyond the city's mysterious archways lie sites of endless adventure—and the shadowy grasp of an ancient evil seeking to return.

It’s a terrible sight; but if you will look closely all around you, you can find people living with no hope. You can see it in their eyes and in their countenances. It is a picture of lifelessness.

I’ve been stressing lately that we should not assume Jesus is coming for His Church real soon, as it may be a long time into things deteriorating so badly in this world before He comes for us.

If you can remember the Burma Shave signs, you may be older than me. I have a very slight recollection of them from my early childhood, though I did see a set when I was an adult somewhere in Illinois. The last sign I saw for Wall Drug was in Roseville in the mid-1980s.

The word “remnant” appears about 90 times in most English Bibles. The vast majority of times are in the Old Testament. In that section of Scripture it is used in reference to different groups of people as well as other things, but mostly references the fact that Israel always has some people who are true believers.

Those who know me well know I have written some poems in my life. None of them are serious except one, “The Books of The Book of Books.” It’s about the books of the Bible, and was set to music to the tune of “Here Comes Santa Claus.” Yeah, I know. But it worked pretty well with both youth and adults. But I really love poetry, especially poems that tell a story. One of the best I have ever read is titled “The Church Walking with the World.” It was written by Matilda C. Edwards in 1836.
