The most basic way to distinguish the church that God is building from what He is not is to know Christ. He is our Shepherd. He has never abdicated that position. He is our Teacher, and He has never abdicated that position. Do not follow anyone who claims to have taken the place of Christ in...

Most of what is considered God’s church at this time is not His church. It has been built by men, not God. He said that He would build His church, and He will. But many sincere Christians who seek to serve Christ are in man’s church, not God’s church. They can still grow and mature in Christ and be...

It was Abraham’s quest to find the city that God is building, not men. In regard to the church, once we see what God is building, it is easily distinguishable from what men are building, regardless of how much men may claim that what they’re building is for the Lord, done in His name. History...

When Israel was told to sacrifice and eat the Passover the night they were delivered from Egypt, they were told, “Y ou shall not leave any of it over until morning” (see Exodus 12:10). As we’re told in 1 Corinthians 5:7, “Christ is our Passover.” When Christians pick and choose which part of Christ...

The journey of mankind is a revelation for all of creation, and it will be studied for eternity. As we see in Revelation, Jesus will forever be called “The Lamb” for what He did for mankind and the world. Our history is basically a revelation of the consequences for rebellion against God, but its...

For the Lord to build His dwelling place among men is the main reason He did not take His authority over the earth immediately after His resurrection. His main purpose for this age is to seek a bride and a family to dwell with forever. After this, He is using this age to prepare workers for His...

Scientists have found that our minds get programmed over time by repetition. But mere repetition doesn’t mean something is true. How many things do we believe because we’ve heard them often? These can become strongholds that get embedded in our minds and resist the truth. Such hardened concepts in...

It is not enough to know the truth if we do not live it. It is also not enough to live part of the truth, though that may help us some. After an angel broke the apostles out of Herod’s prison, he told them to go and speak to the people “the whole message of this life” (see Acts 5:18-21). That’s...

In Revelation, the Great Harlot is also called Mystery Babylon. In Scripture, names are given to people, or entities, to identify their nature. We’ve covered why this system is called the Great Harlot, and this week we will cover in a little more depth why it is called Mystery Babylon, as the...

God’s love, truth, and justice are more powerful than any evil. Perhaps the most astonishing consequence of earth’s story is that, even after mankind rebelled and the earth fell into deep depravity under man’s dominion, God Himself determined that He is going to dwell on the earth among men! That...
