As we begin to work our way through the 24th chapter of Matthew on Sunday morning, we are going to be wading into the study of eschatology.  Our eschatology is our theology of the end times.  As I noted on Sunday morning, when Jesus delivers His Olivet Discourse, He is speaking of two different events:  the “near” event of the destruction of Jerusalem which came just 40 years later in 70 A.D., and the “far” event of His second coming and the final judgment, which at this time is still a future occurrence for us.

Rightly interpreting apocryphal texts, like those we have in Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, and here in Matthew 24, is often very challenging.  These texts are recorded visions which employ an incredible amount of metaphor and symbolism to reveal truths about God’s judgment of the wicked and His preservation of the righteous.  Though we might prefer more clarity, we must remember that Scripture is absolutely Continue reading

In January of every year, evangelical Christians and other social conservatives observe a Day for the Sanctity of Human Life.  It is a day set aside to remember that there is an ongoing holocaust in America.  Though abortion rates have dropped slightly in the past decade, there are still millions of babies aborted every year.  Unfortunately, because this practice has been protected by law for well over three decades, it has become an accepted reality, even among those who oppose it.
