The Martyrdom of Stephen 9
Jesus knows the troubles that we face but he also knows the victory that is coming. Those who hold unswervingly to the faith will know the great victory in Christ. Jesus will come to gather his bride, his beloved church, to bring them into the heavenly courts. In the heavenly courts, Jesus will tend to those who have suffered in the tribulations. And then King Jesus will return to earth once more, to bring justice and retribution and establish his kingdom.

We have already seen this principle at work, in China and Iran. Whenever the enemy seeks to bring darkness, the bright light of the gospel of salvation shines ever more brightly! Jesus knows the troubles that we face but he also knows the victory that is coming.

Sunday Review 8
Hi, yesterday I finished my series of posts exploring Matthew 24, the Olivet Discourse, from the point of view that these precious verses form a lighthouse of warnings and encouragements for all generations but especially for the end-time generation. However, certain theological positions seek to dilute or even evade these sound warnings. If you missed […]

Even To The Point Of Death
Please either listen to the audio clip above or read the notes below or both at the same time. We were praying and fasting this week for Afghanistan and in our prayer meeting I saw, in my mind’s eye, that Jesus was standing before a blackboard with a piece of chalk. And Jesus was saying […]

Sunday Review 5
Hi and welcome to this Sunday Review. As I write this, encouraging words are coming out of Afghanistan of the fearless work of Christian evangelists risking their very lives and sharing the gospel.

Understanding Afghanistan has most definitely never been an easy task! As the Americans withdraw their forces, the Taliban are retaking the land and developing a strangle-hold on this nation. As we read and watch the headlines on our screens there is every reason for us to be concerned. But yet behind the tabloid headlines there […]
