Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?

...t of this prophecy in Christ. This should now be our battle cry as we go forward in Christian life; death has no hold over us who are sealed by the Holy Spirit through baptism, raised to new life in Christ. I won't go into this topic too much now, as I've written on it plenty before here and here. I just wanted to focus our minds on the victory we have because of Jesus and what he did for us this day, centuries ago. I'll close with this worship song which celebrates the resurrection, which I really like. Focus on the words of the song and praise God for Jesus! Happy Easter, everyone....

The next 50 years

...The next fifty years in this country (the UK), and the U.S. — the West in general especially really — is going to be very interesting for society; for the Church. Mainly for the Church. Society is going through a major shift, almost on a global scale. A great divide is coming and will hit the Church over issues of sexuality and marriage. More so than it might already seem. A great divide is coming Only one side will come out of it as the dominant "winner". The other, to reside in obscurity in the annals of embarrassing history. Everything is being done under the guise of "love" — almost as if to try and shame the Church into looking as though it...

How Old Was Jesus When He Died? A Fresh Look At The Historical Clues

As to what caused the darkness mentioned in the Gospels during the crucifixion (Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44), no astronomical data can support this fully. However, we have fragments from a Samaritan-born historian called Thallus, who lived and worked in Rome around AD 52. His original works are lost to us, but fragments are preserved in citations from other writers. One such relevant reference is found in a chronology from Julius Africanus, written around AD 221: Thallus, in the third book of his histories, explains away this darkness as an eclipse of the sun—unreasonably, as it seems to...

Did Herod’s Massacre Of The Innocents Historically Happen?

...tures and prophecy: Jeremiah 31:15A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled. This quotation from Jeremiah originally spoke of exile — of mothers mourning children taken away or lost to imperial violence. Matthew recognises Bethlehem’s grief as another moment in that long story of sorrow, displacement, and hope deferred. Isaiah, too, stands in the background of Matthew’s infancy narrative. The promised light to the nations does not arrive without resistance. Kings are troubled. Power reacts violently. Darkness pushes back against revelation. Epiphany shines precisely becau...

Armageddon Is Not A Battle Plan: What Revelation Actually Says — And Why It Matters Right Now

...Something bizarre happened in the White House Oval Office this week. Photographs circulated on social media showing President Donald Trump seated at his desk, surrounded by approximately twenty Christian pastors from across the country, their hands extended towards him in prayer. The image provoked sharply divided reactions: some saw it as a moving expression of faith; others found it deeply unsettling. Whatever one makes of the optics, it arrived at a charged moment. Trump held a prayer meeting in the Oval Office after his administration admitted the war with Iran will likely last weeks longer than promised | Credit: Dan Scavino's X account Days earlier,...
