  • Are You Prepared?

    When the first Christmas came, when Jesus was born, most people missed it. Of course, there were no telltale signs like reindeer on front lawns. No Christmas songs had been written.

  • The Fountain of Youth?

    Will we live forever? The answer is "yes" and "no." Will our bodies live forever? No. Will our bodies cease to exist at one point? Absolutely. But the soul is immortal. Each one of us has a soul.

  • The Church Triumphant

    There was a period in church history that extended from A.D. 100 to A.D. 314, during which thousands and thousands of courageous Christian men and women sealed their fate with their blood. Secular historians are in agreement that there were 10 great persecutions—10 major attempts to wipe Christianity off the face of the earth.

  • Does America Need Israel More Than Israel Needs America?

    Let me make a controversial statement: In some ways, America needs Israel more than Israel needs America. Years ago, God made a promise to the patriarch Abraham and to his descendants, the Jewish people.

  • Indescribable

    The Bible doesn't give us a lot of details about the next life, the afterlife. We have little bits here and there. But one of the few people in Scripture who wrote about heaven was the apostle Paul, who died and went to heaven.
