Who Are You? By Caitlyn Scaggs

Picture this. You are walking through a brand new art exhibit on opening night. The artist himself is present to interact with attendees and receive praise and kind words regarding his latest creative masterpieces. You walk up to this well-regarded artist and immediately launch into a critique of his work and all the things that could – and should – be better.

Armageddon is the gathering place for “the battle of that great day of God Almighty” (Revelation 16:14, 16). Interest in Armageddon is strong, and for good reason. Considering world events, it seems the fulfillment of this end-time proph

“Does what I do really matter?”

Have you ever felt like your hard work went unnoticed or didn’t make a difference? King David is the only person in the Bible who God calls a man after His own heart . But even David felt overlooked. When God told Samuel to anoint the next king of Israel, Samuel met with Jesse and his sons. Each of Jesse’s sons appeared to have the qualities of a good king, but God didn’t choose any of them. “… the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.

Christian Poetry: Escape the Temptation of Influence

Speak thus to the Forgetful Shepherds Give ear so that you might remember Make way for hearing So that you might not be forgotten! When you were weak and small in your own eyes, I knelt by your side and carried you up, I embraced you with many gifts and kisses I washed and cleansed you from the filth of the dunghill!

Saved By Nails: After I met Christ, my transformation was sudden - Dorcas

Saved By Nails: After I met Christ, my transformation was sudden - Dorcas I gave my life to Christ many times. I can't really recall each occasion, but if there's something it taught me, it's that being born into a Christian home doesn't attain to being born again or finding God. You have to do that yourself. It's something personal. The first time I gave my life to Christ was not really special to me. At this time, I was about age 13 and I cannot really remember what happened but I just knew th

The 12 men gathered on the hillside overlooking Jerusalem were intensely curious, even somewhat unsettled, about what was coming. Some of the impending events their leader had warned them of were fairly clear in their minds, although questions of when and how these things would unfold troubled them. The nature and timing of other big events, though

Christian Living: Living the Way Jesus Wants by Mike Bennett

Jesus came to give His followers an abundant life—full of purpose, potential and joy. But Christian living has challenges. How do we live the life Jesus wants? The Christian way of life is the best way of life possible! Jesus said He came so His followers “may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10 ). God’s way of living has great benefits for this life and offers “pleasures forevermore” in the next (1 Timothy 4:8 ; Psalm 16:11 ). That doesn’t mean that Christian livin

Who is the Antichrist?

Who is the Antichrist? John’s letters are the only books in the Bible to mention a figure called the antichrist, and John never says that there is just one. But even more surprisingly, John says antichrists are not preoccupied with world domination, but with teaching inside churches. The word “antichrist” evokes fear for many of us. Doomsday images of a quasi-human-spiritual power or world leader who hunts and kills Christians fill our minds. And many of us worry about what might happen to our f
