When Was the Old Covenant Fulfilled?, Part 2

March 10th, 2009 | Eschatology | No Comment  
In order to determine when was Old Covenant fulfilled?, we must come to some consensus about the meaning of fulfill. When ordering Barbecue, I call my local small store-front restaurant, -you know, the one with about 10 to 15 crowded tables, that do more take out orders than sit in. I order two rib dinner plates, one for me and one for my wife. But I get to eat one-and-a half plates of ribs because she can’t eat a full plate! They take down everything I want on the order, ribs, slaw, barbecue beans and bread. That’s a standard order. When I go in to pick up my order, I expect it ...

Why Is Rapture Ready Not Ready?

February 22nd, 2009 | Armageddon | No Comment  
Image via Wikipedia Why are people who sit around waiting for the Rapture always disappointed at its non- occurrence? Why is Rapture Ready Not Ready? Maybe this story from my grandmother will help to explain why. My grandmother was a very good cook. She could fry chicken that would rival Colonel Sanders drool any day. One of my deepest regrets is not capturing all of those savory recipes that we enjoyed during the time she was with us. On separate occasions, she taught me how to bake a pound cake, sweet potato pie, make homemade ice cream and cook dried beans. My grandmother also was very witty. She’d have allthese old sayings ...

Are We Living in the Last Days?

December 8th, 2008 | Day of the Lord | No Comment  
Ask 9.99 out of 10 people are we living in the last days? No doubt, they’ll say yes. How do they know? Just look at the signs, they say. Why does every generation believe they have a corner on the signs of Christ’s return? Are we living in the last days again? Is the end coming again? Are we about to be raptured, again? Why doesn’t someone stop and smell the burnt coffee beans of on again, off again eschatology? How many times do they need to cry wolf, before tiring of this? Wasn’t Hal Lindsey and Edgar Whisenant enough in the 80’s? How soon do some forget or ignore the facts? These Hagee types would rather nuke the world than give up their prophecies ...
