Reformation will put new clothes on a person. Regeneration will put a new person in those clothes. Born once, die twice. Born twice, never die. That's the difference the new birth makes.

Salvation is a free gift that once you receive it, you gladly in your heart understand that it costs everything. If you think you have Jesus on one hand holding on to the world with the other, you're flat out wrong. That's not salvation—that's religion.
A leper—walking death, isolated, hopeless—pushed through a hostile crowd for one minute with Jesus. Others would have stoned him. Jesus touched him. The corruption didn't transfer to Christ. Christ's cleansing transferred to the leper. That's still how it works today.
Jesus told a parable about four soils—but only one produced real fruit. Look closer: there are four hearers, three conversions, and two are false. What separates authentic faith from the counterfeit? It's time to examine yourself and see whether you are truly in the faith.
AI deep fakes. Spiritual hypothermia. Wars and rumors of wars. The 2026 forecast is stormy—but there's a shelter. Your Bible, your prayer life, and your church are the jacket, heater, and umbrella you need to weather what's coming.
Think of the Bible like a buffet table with 66 dishes. You get a small taste from each, but you'll know what that flavor is—and then you'll have a full plate. Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21. So, let's go.
Christmas will be gone in a week. Or will it? The Lamb was promised, prepared, and provided. When Simeon held the 40-day-old Messiah, he couldn't contain his praise. If you understand what Christ has done for you—praise is just the result. You can't help it.
Those swaddling clothes weren't just blankets. In Bethlehem, they wrapped spotless lambs' feet so they'd never touch the ground—marking them for sacrifice. When Mary wrapped Jesus that way, she marked him as the one. The Lamb of God had arrived.
For thousands of years humanity waited. And while humanity waited, God worked. The most challenging thing from a human perspective? Getting His Lamb into the world. This is the big mic-drop moment of all human history—when God became flesh.
Sometimes I wish the Bible wasn't true—especially when it lays out how sinful I really am. But with no bad news, the good news is easily disregarded. And when you finally see the diagnosis, the cure becomes everything.
Two prophets will preach in Jerusalem for 1,260 days. The world will celebrate their deaths—until they rise again. Revelation 11 isn't about end times timelines; it's about two truths: God is in charge, and our job is to be ready and stay ready as faithful servants.
What happens when ancient prophecy meets modern preparation? Revelation 11 foretells a fourth temple in Jerusalem—and Orthodox Jews have everything ready to build it. From temple implements to red heifers, the pieces are in place. God's plan unfolds.
