Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we consider more of Revelation chapter 14  " Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads" Why is that the Book of Revelation has two accounts of the 144,000 , and how are they different? The comparison between the 144,000 of Revelation 7, and the 144,000 o...

Send us Fan Mail AI will quickly become a substitute for God on a very practical level in the culture of our day.  But can there be any replacement for God at any level of the Christian life?   One example is in the realm of communication with the Divine, otherwise known as prayer.   God takes His time and answers in His way, while AI offers immediate answers (along with "emotion support&quot...

Send us Fan Mail In this brief "one-off" (away from our Revelation series) we examine the question: "Was the thief on the cross actually saved?"  Jesus promises him a home in Paradise, so we certainly assume that he is a redeemed man.   But can it really be as easy as all this? Is this not "easy-believism"? We address this perplexity in this episode. If you wish to co...
