It’s often said by biblical prophecy teachers that there are no preconditions to the rapture. It can happen at any time. This is called the doctrine of imminence, the imminent return of Jesus Christ for His church which will be taken from the earth in an instant, and at a time when we least expect …
A Lesson in Preparation and Relief
Do you have what you need to see yourselves, your families, your church, your community through a crisis? East Tennessee and western North Carolina are finding out about prep in real time. They are also schooling the rest of our country in what it means for people to step up and take care of each …
Contemplative Prayer and Hallow
I post to you today from the country of Belize where I’ve come sharing the gospel. People here seem so open to the message of salvation in Christ. I wish I could stay longer. On to today’s topic… It seems every time I open YouTube, I get Jonathan Roumie’s face telling me to stop what …
Understanding the End Times from the Bible
In my recent lengthy search for a church, I had a few boxes to tick as “must have” before I would consider joining. One box was solid teaching about the end times from a premillennialism perspective. I did not find a single church that met this criteria. Some churches had premillennialism encoded in their statement …

What’s Going on in the PRC?
I’m going to give some top level news, an observation, and then speculate on the PRC and how it may or may not fit into end times. It is speculation, just some ideas that came to mind given current events I’ve been following. So recently in the PRC, some interesting stuff: There are many other …

By my count, there are 14 birth pang signs in the Olivet Discourse across the 3 synoptic gospels. I’ve covered ten of them in part 1 & 2 of this series, which updates the original series I did awhile ago. They are still here on the site if you want to go read them. When …
Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 2
Events in the world are happening so fast, it’s hard to keep up. Almost like horses galloping through the earth bringing prophetic change that wipes out freedom and brings global tyranny through war, suppression of the truth, famine, pestilence, and death. The world was even introduced to the apocalyptic imagery of the riders of Revelation …
Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 1
Awhile back I did a series of posts about the birth pang signs identified by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse. I believe we live in prophetic times in which these signs are increasingly present so I thought I’d update the post in a more summarized way. What compelled me to reissue the post is the …
Computer Crashes and the Church
How much do we rely on tech? In my career, I spent a lot of time in software development and testing. I know how the good software developers get it done. I know the rigorous testing military flight systems undergo before the capability goes out to the combat units. And yet we are told that …
Electrification and the Church
I wonder how many churches are aware of the “electrification” requirements that are rapidly being written into law at the federal and state level? My guess? Not that many. Maybe none. If you pastor a church or go to a church facility, you might want to get smart on the green goals in your state. …
