The world is a subtle and tempting place. It has its pleasures, and men desire them. The allure of worldly things has caused many a person to stumble and fall. It’s bad enough when someone secular succumbs and his end is grievous, it’s certainly worse when a Christian does so since he should know better….

2 Corinthians 3:14 – Their Minds Were Hardened
The nation of Israel had everything going for it. After all, when God has specially chosen you to be the focus and recipient of the purpose and destiny He has planned for mankind, surely He would pour out incredible mercy and goodness upon you. That’s certainly the case, but Israel squandered it. God gave Moses…
2 Corinthians 1:9 – The Sentence of Death
If you look around and think the world has gone nuts, you’re probably right. As we near the end of history as we know it, with the soon-coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the veil of deception has overshadowed the vision of most of secular society. The very thing that Jesus warned about is occurring. …
Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 9-8-21: Biblical Curses Upon America
America has entered a time of Biblical judgment. We are not Israel. The US is not a theocratic state. However, our nation was founded on Biblical principles. God in His wisdom provides patterns of blessings and judgments so that all who read and understand His Word can see the parallels from the past to the…
Proverbs 7:27 – The Way to Sheol
Proverbs 7-8 provides the contrast between one who is faithful and one who is not. These chapters speak of the adulteress and the woman called Wisdom.

Psalm 147:11 – Those Who Fear Him
Do you want to know one of the reasons the church in America is so weak? I believe it relates directly to how believers view God in their relationship with Him. Over the years the Bible has been attacked on all sides. It has been questioned as to how reliable it is. Did so and…
1 Corinthians 10:20 – They Offer to Demons
Too many people think they can live a so-called Christian life with one foot in God’s camp and one foot in the camp of demons. Whether from ignorance or hubris, the church has been largely compromised over the years. This has resulted in a Christian faith that accepts non-Biblical practices as though they come from…
1 Corinthians 7:29 – The Appointed Time Has Grown Very Short
Because of the pagan lifestyle from which the church in Corinth emerged, Paul had much to teach them about living in holiness and righteousness. They had immorality among them that they apparently didn’t recognize as such. There were issues among some of the women in church exhibiting improper conduct by speaking out of turn. What…
1 Corinthians 6:9 – Do Not Be Deceived
Deception is the order of the day. Everywhere we look, people are being deceived. It results in fraud, i.e. people being cheated. Yet they glory in it, making their own lives a shambles and the lives of others miserable. What is it that brings forth such a condition? First and foremost is the rejection of…
1 Corinthians 5:13 – One Who Bears the Name of Brother
How shocked Paul was when he heard what was happening in his beloved church at Corinth! He knew they were born again, but what in the world were they thinking? How could they possibly countenance certain activities going on in their midst? Paul minced no words. They must deal with the sin in their congregation…
