The only way the kingdom of God is going to be manifest in this world before Christ comes is if we manifest it by the way we live as citizens of heaven and subjects of the King.

We are all servants. The only question is whom we will serve.

There are many today who believe that there are people running around this world right now who are performing greater miracles, performing miracles in greater abundance, and actually doing more incredible acts of divine healing than Jesus himself did. I can't think of any more serious delusion than that.

The rapture will not be secret but open and manifest. Its purpose will not be to whisk the elect away from the earth for a while until Christ returns for a 'second' Second Coming. The purpose of the rapture is to allow the saints to meet Jesus in the air as He returns and be included in His entourage during His triumphal descent from Heaven. His coming in this manner will be attended by the general resurrection, the final judgment, and the end of the world.

I get irritated when I hear preachers say, "Come to Jesus and all your problems will be over." That's just simply a lie.

A loving God who has no wrath is no God. He is an idol of our own making as much as if we carved Him out of stone.

Once we are reconciled to God, the estrangement is over, the hostilities have ended, and the peace is sealed for eternity.
