Through the Lenten season, I focused on the Gospels — the Good News — of Jesus Christ following His footsteps through Holy Week, then His ascension. I then followed His disciples as they dealt with His death and what they did After the Resurrection. I now start a series through the Book of Romans. It’s

The Rapture is one of the most controversial topics among Christian scholars and preachers. I’ve heard them all, and what makes sense to me is a pre-tribulation Rapture. Let me explain…. Read along with my blog — there are links to more resources and 2 videos with more information…. If you want the assurance of
