Passion 4 Him

Are you missing half the story about the last days? Virtually all attention these days is focused on the coming Antichrist--but he is only half the story. Many people are amazed to discover in Revelation 17 that there is also another mysterious character at the heart of prophecy--a woman who rides the beast. Who is this woman? Tradition says she is connected with the church of Rome. But isn't such a view outdated? After all, today's Vatican is eager to join hands with Protestants worldwide. "The Catholic church has changed" is what we hear. Or has it? In A Woman Rides the Beast , prophecy expert Dave Hunt sifts through biblical truth and global events to present a well-defined portrait of the woman and her powerful place in the Antichrist's future empire. Eight remarkable clues in Revelation 17 and 18 prove the woman's identity beyond any reasonable doubt. A provocative account of what the Bible tells us is to come.

This presentation is by Mike Gendron of progospel.org. You will learn truth and why it's so vital we act in love towards Catholics and share the truth with them!!!

   Such is the prospect which is before the Christian. He shall indeed die like other men. But his death is a sleep-a calm, gentle, undisturbed sleep, in the expectation of being again awaked to a brighter day, 1 Corinthians 15:6 . He has the assurance that his Saviour rose, and that his people shall therefore also rise, 1 Corinthians 15:12-20 . He encounters peril, and privation, and persecution; he may be ridiculed and despised; he may be subjected to danger, or doomed to fight with wild beasts, or to contend with men who resemble wild beasts; he may be doomed to the pains and terrors of a martyrdom at the stake; but he has the assurance that all these are of short continuance, and that before him there is a world of eternal glory, 1 Corinthians 15:29-32 . He may be poor, unhonoured, and apparently without an earthly friend or protector, but his Saviour and Redeemer reigns, 1 Corinthians 15:25 . He may be opposed by wicked men, and his name slandered, and...

John MacArthur Whenever I have preached through the story of Jesus' birth, I am struck with the simplicity and profundity of the Christian gospel. You can see it from the very beginning. It's right there in what the angel said to Joseph, "You shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins" ( Matt. 1:21 ). When the Father gave the incarnate Son a name, He proclaimed His rescue mission in no uncertain terms. Jesus , the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Joshua , means "Savior." Now, "there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved" ( Acts 4:12 ). Jesus is the Savior-that's been the joyful news from the start. But you might ask the question: "A Savior to save us from what?" That's certainly a fair question. The word savior implies that we need to be saved from something. Saved ...

Hunt, Dave An excerpt from  Whatever Happened to Heaven?   In the early 1970s the rapture was the most-talked-about topic in the church. [Hal Lindsey’s bestselling book,  The Late Great Planet Earth ], had captured the attention and imagination of his generation. Pastors preached about heaven and Christians eagerly anticipated being caught up at any moment to meet their Lord in the air. Even the secular world became familiar with the concept. There were movies, such as  The Omen , about the end times. Radio and television mentioned the Second Coming frequently, and cartoons and bumper stickers also took up the theme. One of the latter solemnly warned: “I’m leaving in the rapture, ride at your own risk!’’ All of that has changed. The bumper stickers have worn off, the movies have lost their appeal, and the sermons have gone on to currently popular themes.... The Late Great Planet Earth  h...

  “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me....”   — Galatians:2:20 Anti-Christian elements in the secular world would like very much to do away with all public display of the cross. Yet it is still seen atop tens of thousands of churches and in religious processions, often made of gold and even studded with precious stones. Most frequently, however, the cross is displayed as popular jewelry hanging around necks or dangling from ears. One wonders by what strange alchemy the bloodstained, rugged cross of torment upon which Christ suffered and died for our sins became so sanitized and glamorized. No matter how it is displayed, even as jewelry or graffiti, the cross is universally recognized as the symbol of Christianity—and therein lies a serious problem. The cross itself rather than what transpired upon it 19 centuries ago has become the focus of attention, resulting in several grave ...

Finney believed that a golden age of Christianity, in which Christ is honored, God’s moral law obeyed, and the need for further revivals ended could be brought about by the activities of the church. There are several problems with this, the greatest of which is that the Bible does not teach it. As we will see, Finney felt free to depart from Biblical orthodoxy in order to promote his ideals.
