The Future Is Here

An in-depth study of the book of Revelation is no simple matter. But what could be timelier in these uncertain days than a verse-by-verse review of this prophetic book?

Dr. Rogers reminded us often of how grateful we should be that God gave us Revelation! But I can tell you Satan is not. He hates this book, for it dispels the fog and gives believers a hope that is steadfast and sure.

We would do well to look carefully at what the Bible says about “those things that will be hereafter,” for false prophets seek to profit, charlatans concoct predictions, and “ministers” promote themselves with doomsday warnings.

The Decision To Become An Atheist

Why does someone decide to become an atheist? Perhaps they’ve been raised in a home where their parents are atheists. Perhaps they started out in life believing in God, but when they prayed about a situation and didn’t get the answer they wanted—or didn’t get it quickly enough—they said, “Well, there must not be a God after all.” Or they decided the problem of why God allows evil in the world is just too great to overcome.

A Thanksgiving Visit With Adrian Rogers

Chris Fabry: We’re going to go behind the scenes as it were, maybe just a short step back from the pulpit, and hear a personal word from your heart. When you were a boy growing up in south Florida, what was Thanksgiving like for you?

Dr. Rogers: We didn’t go “over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house,” or let the sleigh bring us through the snow, because down there it’s like summer all year long! We had Thanksgiving, but for some reason my mother just did not get into celebrating birthdays, Thanksgiving or Christmas to a big degree. I love the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. I’m an innate Thanksgiving person.

Mustard Seeds And Mountains: Learning To Think Small

A mustard seed is very small, about like a fleck of ground pepper.  A mountain, of course, is huge.  What is Jesus saying here?  That the least amount of faith is greater than greatest amount of difficulty. 

Perhaps what we ought to do is “think small.” A grain of mustard seed faith can move mountains.

The Bible puts a big emphasis on small things. Many small things have big consequences. When an atom is split, you have nuclear fission; the smallest of entities can cause the biggest of explosions. Small things have great import.

If you want to be fruitful, be faithful in small things.

The Conquest Of Jesus Christ

All the great religious leaders of history have one thing in common: they are dead. Only one man has risen from a grave never again to taste death. Jesus Christ rose again! God validated His Kingship and accepted His payment for our sins with one incredible stroke: He raised Jesus from the dead!

The Politics Of Pilgrims

Some people think it’s morning in America and some think it’s the morning after. What should be our attitude toward the crisis we find ourselves in?

First, this may shock you, but it’s a foolish thought to hope that help will come from Washington. As Christians, we’re children of another world. We are pilgrims. We’re not vagabonds or strangers. A vagabond has no home; a stranger is away from home. A pilgrim is headed home. What should be the politics of pilgrims?
