Globalism: Preparation for the Antichrist

By Thomas Ice No matter how the problems of today are defined, increasingly the world believes that the only viable solutions are of a global nature. Everywhere we turn, globalism is being talked about and touted as the only answer to mankind’s problems. I agree wholeheartedly with Dr. LaHaye’s recent comment that “Two of the signs all pre-trib prophecy scholars most watch for are Israel and global government.”((Tim LaHaye, Pre-Trib Perspectives, Vol. V, Num. 5 (Aug. 2000): 1.)) No doubt [...]

Truth at a Glance: Triumphant, Spirit-Filled Christian Life

By E. J. Pace “Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion [...]

A Voice From The Past: Is Victory Earned, Or a Gift?

By Charles G. Trumbull Every saved child of God at one time or another longs for victory over sin. Yet many such children of God have sadly given up hope of having in this world a complete victory, mistakenly supposing that that blessing is only for the life after this. They do not know how simple, and how immediately available, is the victory for which they are not daring to hope. It is right at hand, in Christ, for all [...]

Theological Issues: Should Christians Fear Outer Darkness? (Chapter 1)

By Dennis Rokser Jesus Christ, when speaking to His disciples in the Olivet Discourse (Matthew 24–25) during the week leading to His crucifixion, spoke this parable regarding His second coming:((This article is chapter 1 of the recent book, Should Christians Fear Outer Darkness? published by Grace Gospel Press.)) 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, [...]

A Day At The Fair: The Power of God

By JoLeen Miller Paul taught that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). As the young man stared at the verses, he agreed. “This is really powerful. This is just so powerful.” Minutes earlier, he offered to share his spiritual viewpoint. Though he wore a neon tank top, reading “One tequila...two tequila...three tequila...floor,” his explanations quickly revealed he was a sincerely religious man. With no air of pride, he earnestly explained that [...]

Book Review: How to Interpret 1 John

Reviewed by Tom Stegall The epistle of 1 John is written in some of the simplest language of all the 27 books of the New Testament. Yet, it contains some of the most difficult verses in the New Testament to interpret. Pastor Dennis Rokser of Duluth Bible Church has written a 96-page book titled How to Interpret 1 John: Fresh Insights & Observations to Consider, published by Grace Gospel Press, for the express purpose of helping believers to accurately interpret [...]

The Crucial Importance Of Identification Truths for Spiritual Growth and a Worthy Walk, Pt. 1 (Ephesians 4:17-24)

By Dennis Rokser I am convinced from years of studying the Scriptures verse by verse, along with observing the theological landscape of our country, that a precious doctrinal gem that is too often missing in the teaching and understanding of believers today is the scriptural truth of the believer’s position in or identification with Jesus Christ. In fact, I was just talking to another believer last week who related a conversation he had with a friend and brother in Christ [...]

THEOLOGICAL ISSUES: Who Is The Overcomer In Revelation 2-3? Pt. 5

By Tom Stegall he Bible teaches that all believers in Jesus Christ are overcomers based on their position in Him, the perfect Overcoming One, rather than their own imperfect practice or walk as believers. Previous articles in this series have given eight biblical reasons for this conclusion. This final article in this series will cover four more scriptural reasons. The Church Is an Indivisible Body A ninth reason why all believers are overcomers is based on the unity of the [...]

Growth Truth: Subtle Self

By Mile J. Stanford “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me” (Ps. 51:10). A healthy spiritual birth results in the falling away of many of the more obvious works of the flesh, often causing the new believer to claim 2 Corinthians 5:17 or Galatians 2:20 as his testimony. However, for the Lord Jesus to be fully manifested, it is going to involve a lifetime of the Holy Spirit’s deep dealing with the more [...]

The Mystery of Lawlessness Is Already at Work

By Dennis Rokser “The mystery of lawlessness is already at work.” These are the very words Paul penned to the Thessalonian Church almost 2 millennia ago (2 Thess. 2:7a). Yet how apropos these words are as the stage is being further set to fulfill Satan’s scheme of a global, one-world government under the reign of the Antichrist. While I am only a pastor in a non-profit organization and am not a newspaper alarmist, nevertheless, it is obvious even to the [...]
