Kicking The Dog (or how to say you’re sorry)
I watched a sermon online over the weekend that reminded me of a saying from my years in Biblical counseling. Apologies don’t contain conditional language. In the sermon, which I can’t find now, the pastor mentioned four types of apologies from a source he’d studied. For the sake of explanation, and because I can’t find…

Climbing our pedestals

It is a series of visions showing what must take place. After the seventh seal, the voice from the throne said “it is…

Revelation: The Final Harvest and The Bowls
We covered a broad range of topics last week in our discussion on the spiritual war. It is much more than a detail of the fall from Heaven—it’s a war for our souls that continues to mislead, distract, and corrupt. It’s very easy to get wrapped up in conspiracy theories and end times speculation. These…

Revelation: the spiritual war
In our last lesson, we talked about the ministry of the two witnesses. At the end of their ministry, there were killed by the beast and rose from the dead after 3 ½ days and were lifted into Heaven. Many people gave glory to God. The second woe ended. At that point, the 7th angel…
