Although this chapter presents three mysteries, it also...

         Peace on earth! Mankind has always longed for a utopian world that is free of disease and danger and death and destruction, a world that is free of war and want and hunger and hatred. Some think the answer is in reforming the economy. Some think the answer is in human reasoning. Some think the answer is in educating the masses. Some think the a...

A. W. Tozer said, “Worship is the missing jewel of the church.”  I believe that he is right. For far too many, worship is lifeless, heartless, and meaningless. What has happened? What is missing? What is true worship?  Who are the four living creatures in Revelation 4? Why do the four living creatures worship God the Father? Do we have the same reasons for worshipping God that these four...

Many supposed Bible experts are saying the idea of a PreTrib Rapture was never taught until the last 200 years. They say the idea of a Pre Trip Rapture is a false modern day invention. Are they right? Are there no early church fathers who taught a PreTrib Rapture before the 1900s? Join me as we walk through the history of the church and look for anyone who teaches a Pre Trip Rapture. 

This is a Missing Persons Report. The church is missing in Revelation 6-18. Why?  Why is the church mentioned 17 times in Revelation chapters 1-3 and mentioned zero times in Revelation chapters 6 through 18?   I believe the answer is the rapture! Join me as we look at a few passages of Scripture that present the truth of the Pre-Tribulational Rapture.

He wishes that they were hot or cold ... rather than lukewarm.  This episode will explore: 1) the reason why Jesus calls them lukewarm, 2) the impact this lukewarmness had on Jesus, and 3) the steps they needed to take to overcome this lukewarmness. The lessons they learned are incredibly relevant to our lives today...

       Stunning predictions and powerful promises are found in the book of Revelation. This episode of Wisdom from Above looks at the church of Philadelphia.

Toleration! Toleration? That starts with T and rhymes with D... and that stands for Disaster. Disaster… right here in Thyatira!    Toleration is good when it means allowing others the freedom to hold differing views. But toleration is bad when it means accepting false teaching as true. Toleration is bad when it means accepting evil actions as good. The Church of Thyatira was tolerating J...

Francis Shaeffer says, “ Here is the great evangelical disaster – the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth. There is only one word for this – namely accommodation; the evangelical church has accommodated to the world spirit of this age.”   A.W. Tozer writes, A new decalogue has been adopted by the neo-Christians of our day, the first words of which reads, “Thou shalt n...

They say that a crushed rose gives out a better fragrance. The church of Smyrna was being crushed, and those believers were diffusing the fragrance of the knowledge of Christ. Jesus brings words of comfort and hope to these dear believers... and in so doing He brings words of hope and comfort to us. In this brief letter to the church of Smyrna, Jesus shares how to handle suffering. Carve out the t...

The city of Ephesus was geographically strategic, economically wealthy, and religiously corrupt! The church of Ephesus was standing firm in the truth. Jesus had just one thing against the church of Ephesus... they had left their first love! They were sold in doctrine, but sick in devotion...

Satan has a strategy for your defeat.  He will mislead you with false impressions.  He will entrap you with false allurements.  He will steal your faith, kill your hope and destroy your love. We need to put on the full armor of God so we can stand against the schemes of the Devil. The book of Revelation is loaded with promises to those who overcome.    Is every believer an...

A little girl, reciting the Lord’s prayer said , “lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from email!”  Sometimes you might wish you could be delivered from email! But what a wonderfully quick and efficient way it is to communicate. In this Wisdom from Above podcast, I’m telling you that “You’ve got mail!” I’m not talking about email. I’m talking about letters! A stack of seven letters! W...

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each child’s work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was? The girl replied, “I’m drawing God.” The teacher paused and said, “But no one knows what God looks like.” Without missing a beat and without looking up from her drawing,...

This is our final episode of the 7th season... which has been focusing on The Last Days. We have been digging into the Olivet Discourse in Matthew chapters 24 and 25. In this final parable, Jesus reveals the upcoming Judgment of the Sheep and Goats. At first glance it looks like the sheep are saved by their good works and the goats are cursed because they failed to do good works. Does this passage...

Jesus reveals the upcoming Judgment of the Sheep and Goats. What? Are animals going to be judged? No. This is a parable in which people are likened to either sheep or goats. The sheep will be commended. The goats will be condemned. It is critical that we understand the timing of this judgment. In order to set the stage for this judgment, I am asking you to use your imagination and to place yoursel...

A steward is a person who has been entrusted with he responsibility of managing the affairs of an owner. As believers in Jesus Christ, we are stewards of the opportunities, the abilities, and the resources that God has entrusted to us. The Bible says "It is required of stewards that one one found faithful." (1 Corinthians 4:1-2). A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. In this revel...

Jesus' parable of the virgins is puzzling. It is difficult to determine just who the virgins represent. In order to understand this parable we will look closely at the Jewish wedding customs during the time of Christ.  Jesus' parable of the virgins is practical. It is always too soon to run out of fuel. Very likely everyone of us has exeperienced this first hand at some time in our lives. Wha...
