Why the Modern World?

Since the first advent of Jesus Christ, the world has been living in the age of the church. We call this the modern era in today’s vernacular. Does the modern world have an expiration date? The answer is yes! Some theologians call the time we are living now the post modern era. While that is a term I have heard, the modern age or era will only really end when the church age ends. The bible doesn’t teach that we will know the time when this happens, but it is the time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:20 “teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen.

No matter what shape the secular world takes, the modern world will never cease to be until the church is taken off this planet through the rapture. At that point the modern world will be transformed into the system of the anti-Christ. The governments of the world will be united at that point, there will be a one world religion and a one world political leader. After a time of peace, the anti-Christ will unleash his wrath upon the earth, until God starts bringing His Revelation Judgments onto this earth. The wrath of the anti-Christ and the wrath of God upon the world, will bring the swift and final judgment to all of unbelieving humanity by the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ will come from Heaven with all his angels and Saints. We believe the rapture of the church can happen at any moment, there is nothing holding this back. The modern era/world still gives men, women and children time to repent and receive the forgiveness of their sins by God. But when the age or dispensation of the church ends, so will the opportunity to be forgiven end too. This is Mike.

On Christian Marriage. (Short)

On Christian Marriage. (Short) The modern co-habitation crisis has produced a lot of single moms and dads, and has fractured "family units" allowing other family members and relatives to take a bigger role in these "Separated families." There isn't a "one cause" why families have separated or divorced, it is a complicated issue, sometimes resulting in very hard emotions for Society to process. Things like the "millennial sexual revolution" have contributed to the widespread "non-committal" attitude, which in turn has given the traditional marriage the "black eye" it currently has and has turned many Christian men away from seeking a life partner. The more society devalues "traditional marriage" the more co-habitation you will see in all the other generations as well as the Millennials. This is Mike.

Why Christians must show Mutual Concern for One another.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life. Psalm 142:4. Christians in the church should have mutual concern for one another, this is what it means to be part of the body of Christ, 1 Corinthians 12:25. It’s takes good pastoral leadership to foster this sense of concern, and where it is missing, individuals who are suffering in the church are overlooked and not supported. Every believer needs support and encouragement, but when this is missing, the church divides and loses it power and testimony. Christians live like the world, and become vulnerable to Satan’s attacks when nobody is supporting them outside the church. I used to belong to an evangelical church which had great leadership, and something called small groups. This church felt like a family and I had people who shared my Christian walk with me when I was not in the church building. I have been attending a different denomination that doesn’t hav...

The Existence of God

Since the beginning of time, man has learned about the existence of God. It began in the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve walked and talked with God, however when they sinned, they died spiritually and their closeness with God was severed. In Genesis 4:26 it reads “Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to call on the name of the LORD.” Seth was the third son of Adam and Eve, so it’s fair to say that not too long after mankind fell, we also called upon the Lord. From that time until now, mankind was closer to God then, but it’s a modern shift that the world is in the state it is in now, mainly unbelief, because even 30 years ago from now, mankind was closer to God. It is also true that in ancient Israel’s history, there have been generations that fell away and forgot God, but in the time of the prophets Israel was never left without a word from the Lord. Many generations have come and gone, but there have been remarkable generations all thr...
