Update, 27 April, 2023: There is a lot going on in the world that is pointing to the fact that we are quickly approaching the time of the End of Days, that period in history where everything comes together in a great conflagration that is dubbed the Tribulation period. It is the time in which Antichrist rises and seizes power - is perhaps even given power - by many nations, convinced he is the answer to all their problems. It is important that the Church wake up and recognize these things, not merely acknowledge that we "may be living" in the End Times. The uncertainty of such a phrase is clearly designed to excuse why churches, pastors, do not focus on and teach their congregations - the people of God in Christ - to be ready for persecution, suffering, imprisonment and worse, even a martyr's death.
It is our desire to help you see and understand the importance of recognizing what is happening right before our eyes, and to begin prayerfully seeking God's guidance and discerning the signs of the times for what they protend that is on the horizon and approaching every quicker with each passing day.
We hope we can help you learn, understand and grow in your faith and knowledge of the things of God as we walk into and through these End Times.

The Fallacy of "Sowing A Seed"
For decades in many Charismatic circles in Christendom, it has been a rampant and popular teaching that believers ought to 'sow a financial seed' in order to set into motion spiritual laws that will enable us to 'reap' a blessing, be it financial,
material or health related. In essence we are encouraged to pay God for a blessing.
As with all erroneous teaching, there is ostensibly a basis in Scripture, while in reality a verse is plucked out of a passage, ignoring all context and the meaning the author actually intended to convey. This single verse, along with other single
verses (also out of context), isolated from different Scriptures, are used to build a doctrine that was not taught nor adhered to by any of the apostles or authors of Scripture leading to deception by the less discerning and those that are simply
not versed in or understanding the meaning of those Scriptures.
Here is a second article for you to read as well.
In Matthew chapter 3 we are introduced to John the Baptist. He has been preaching in the desert for an unspecified time calling people to repentance. Now, an interesting thing is taking place here, to be sure, and there is one particular passage (among many
others) that has always stood out to me...
Read this verse again. Did you catch it? Jerusalem - and ALL Judea, and ALL the region around the Jordan were going out to him. This man was getting the attention of the entire Southern kingdom, Jerusalem and points east. People were walking upwards of
five days or more to come see and hear John speak, preach, and perhaps to be baptised.
And he also caught the attention of the Pharisees as well...
The Pharisees were worried, even terrified, because John was attracting so much attention. They did not like what he was preaching because it was contrary to what they taught (even though Jesus later tells His disciples to do what they taught, but not to
do what they themselves practiced - ref.: Matt. 23). This is the very thing John was speaking against: the practices of the religious authority in Israel, that they were flagrantly in violation of the Law they taught and preached in synagogue every Sabbath.
In addressing them, John is telling them exactly who and what they are before God - and yet calls for them to repent, holding no malice against them should they humble themselves and repent before the people and submit that they had indeed been practicing
things against the very Law they were charged to represent and uphold.
Matt: 3:5: Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him.
Matt. 3:7-9: But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to
yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.
