Satan is the Destroyer but Christ is the Restorer

The purpose of prophecy is to prepare the bride for her Bridegroom. It reveals to us where Christ is at each step of His ministry and what He is currently doing to cleanse and purify His bride for the day when He comes to take her home. Itʼs the greatest love story ever told.

The Purpose of Prophecy

Daniel and Revelation reveal as no other the great controversy between Christ and antichrist, the battle between two kingdoms, and the principles by which they govern. No where else in the Bible does God as thoroughly reiterate the identification of two critical time periods than in Daniel and Revelation....

Understanding Daniel and Revelation

We will find, by examining the following Bible verses, examples of the biblical principle that effect follows cause, whether that effect is a direct outworking of natural laws, or follows the respectful concession of a God whose right to mercifully intervene has been rejected in favor of the intervention of another.

Reaping and Sowing, Daniel 1

What's was God's purpose in revealing through prophecy the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms? Are God's kingdom principles the same?

The Rise and Fall of Earthly Kingdoms, Daniel 2

As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.

Interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's Dream, Daniel 2

This is the core issue of the great controversy. Whose principles will be found to be everlasting and able to sustain life, the principles of selfless love and liberty or self-exaltation and force? In other words, "Will the real God please stand up."

Self, the Greatest Battle Ever Fought, Daniel 3

In this study we are going to closely examine the parallels between Nebuchadnezzarʼs image on the plains of Dura and the final decree enforcing worship, as revealed in Revelation. What does this have to do with us, our present lives and our eternal destiny?

The Mystery of Iniquity- Self Worship, Daniel 3

The Final Showdown, Daniel 3

In his converted state, Nebuchadnezzar, the author of Daniel chapter four, reflects back on the events that led to a most humbling experience when he found himself out in a pasture grazing with the animals ...

The Humbling of the High and Mighty, Daniel 4

Prophecy reveals the play/counterplay in the great controversy between Christ and antichrist. Daniel and Revelation reveal as no other, the principles of the two kingdoms. It assures us of the victorious end. The things that were foretold and have come to pass assure us that the things that are yet unfolding will also come to pass.

The Prophetic Flow of History, Daniel 7

Our purpose in this study is to focus on the character development that all must possess when Christ finishes His work interceding for us in the heavenly sanctuary. The controversy started in heaven with pride which led to self-trust, which is a lack of trust in God. In Eden we find Satan successfully used the same subtle temptations with Eve.

The Daily & The Abomination of Desolation

Do you believe in righteousness? Do you want to be righteous? Hosea teaches righteousness comes only by faith. Faith in what? We are going to explore Hosea in search of a faith that saves.

Hosea's Passionate Lover

As God designed it, marriage sets in motion depths of motivation that surge in waves of joy. Each wants to please the other. Each feels an enthusiasm to do and to be what fulfills the other. If such surrendered devotion does not exist, the parties to marriage weary of acting the part, of trying to do what love would do apart from the motivating power of a genuine love.

The Gospel According to the Laws of Marriage

Can the Bible be trusted? Does the Bible contradict itself? Is every word of the Bible inspired? Is there a difference between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New? Will there be any new light? How can we know the truth? Are there principles of interpretation whereby we might rightly divide the Word of Truth?

The Bible Must Be Allowed To Interpret Itself

The essence of this study reveals the key issue at the heart of the conflict between God and Satan. Which can be trusted? Which is telling the truth? Which one truly loves us? . . . Letʼs read of Adam and Eveʼs disobedience and how it came about. The story begins with Godʼs warning about the subtlety of the serpent, a subtlety commending more than just a superficial reading.

In The Beginning

Who done it — Egypt’s Gods or Israel’s God? Who killed the firstborn of Egypt? How did the plagues come about? Who hardened Pharaohʼs heart? Who was the “destroyer?” On closer examination we will discover that things are not always as they appear.

Will The Real God Please Stand Up!

What Is It — Imposed Punishment or the Inevitable Consequence of Sin?

God's Wrath.

Some people believe that Christ went to hell after He died. This would be true in the sense that hell is sometimes properly interpreted as the grave both in Hebrew and Greek, and Christ went to that grave. But hell has another biblically proper interpretation by which Christ went to hell before He died. In fact, when He gave up His spirit and died, it was a sweet release from the torment of that living hell.

Hell At The Cross

In this study we begin by observing several manners of speech related to the flood which similarly, if taken at face value, leave the reader at best puzzled at God, and at worst leads them to reject Him as a loveless tyrant. We sympathize with those who look at the simple language and have difficulty concluding that it does not entirely mean what it says.

She

She’s a woman, a woman and a lady,

A lady and a lover, a lover and a friend.

She’s a teacher, gladly sharing what she’s learned,

Teaching joy in life is earned, by abiding in Christ’s love.

She…is more than delight; more than a tender embrace,

soft kiss in the night.

She is a lasting joy in my life…She paints a perfect picture of wife.

A picture of peace and understanding,

Gentle but demanding, of virtue in our lives.

Eve Of Love

Awakened by the great Creator

Adam knelt to praise his Maker

Viewed the world in sinless glory

Heard the angels tell the story.

Soon beheld the matchless grandeur

Towering bowers with flowering banners,

Loyal to efflorescent duty

In a world of endless beauty

He inquired:

“Lord, each creature has another

Two by two, they please each other

As I view this garden by-way

I find no one looking my way

Who could be my life companion

To explore these hills and canyons

And to train these vines and flowers

Into a home.”

His Gift By The Light

In the still of the night

I awake to the sight

Of the moon’s silken light

On the brow … I adore.

 

As I gaze on your face

I reflect on the grace

Of the One you embrace

In your heart … as Lord.

 

As I browse through the years

Since my longings were stirred

By the One who endeared

Me to you,

 

In the still of the night

How I still find delight

In His gift by the light

Of the moon.

Is She Here, Lord

Come my dove, there’s a coy fragrance on the air

Near the gold-gilded glow of our roses there,

Year by year they’ve matured in Love’s garden fair

To bloom anew each Spring!

 

See their blush in the hush of the evening hours

How their deepening gold pales Youth’s passion flowers

Breath in deep, feel the sweep of God’s fragrant power

Come dream with me!

 

See how soon, we both shall fly away

With the true and faithful on that Day

Hallelujah, we must watch and pray

Draw close with me.

The Other Man

When others talk about him

I see it in your eyes

That longing look of love

You can’t disguise.

 

I sensed before we married

The deeper love you carried

In your heart –I knew

Your love for him was true

Yet knowing, still I said “I do.”

 

I’ve never seen you with him

Yet I know you’ll miss him

If I’m in the way

When he calls today.

 

Unseen he comes before me

I see that you adore the

Way he makes you feel.

I know he’s real

But he’s no ordinary man.

When You Opened Your Hand

When you opened your hand and your fingers pressed

Into mine soft winds blew through.

When you opened your lips and that love confessed

How I thrilled to hear “I do!”

How I thrilled to hear “I do!”

 

When you closed your lips and pressed that love

Into mine with prayers imbued

In your open arms in love’s sweet embrace

I felt my worth anew.

I felt my worth anew.

You, You’re The Only One

You…You’re the only one

My joys had not begun

‘Till you said “I do.”

There, glowing as my bride

Vowing you’d confide

In all I’d do.

 

We felt our flames twofold

Merging… then implode

into One.

 

Now the years have proved our name’s

Not simply just the same…

As begun.

We are One.

How Will It Be With Us My Love?

How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived one thousand years

Then having passed our earthly tests both with selfless love ensured?

What will this marriage have become on sinless earth made new?

Oh can you tell me how this love unfolds that made me one with you?

 

How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived ten thousand years

And seen vast worlds now yet unknown still veiled from human tears

What will this marriage have become when countless friends endear

Our hearts in universal love, will we still be called “My Dear.”

 

How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived one million years

Communed with God and angel hosts, and explored endless spheres?

And will there be a place where we return to share alone

Our deepest thoughts and fondest words in our own eternal home?

You Have Loved Me

You have loved me

Really loved me

I’m convinced now

It’s true

 

Not for favors

Or earthly pleasures

God shares pure Love

Through you

 

Though you’d perish

I would cherish

Till I’d perish

This one truth

 

You once loved me

Oft thought of me

Held and hugged me

In your youth
