Kingdom of the Logos

A Real Warning (Revelation 13, the Beast) The beast is a proper idol whose primary goal is to stand against God. Its hour has no middle ground, for one is either named in the Book of Life, or they serve the beast without repentance. It begins with no mention of morality, inviting all to join. Please, for the sake of wisdom and respect for Scripture, do not deceive yourself into thinking you must like your idols in order for them to control you. If such was the case then slothfulness and depression would be virtues, along with all unhappy snares. Idols just need you to be an ant who bows around the rock, straying from the straight and narrow; affection is gratuity. #Gospel #Revival

The Woman and the Dragon (Revelation 12) Revelation 12 draws us to one of the most heinous and personal battles throughout all Scripture, and learning from this chapter does wonders for a Christian worldview. In it, we are privy to many things: that God has truly made many lands; that certain angels did reject God in the face of all heaven; that the spiritual warfare both demands and sheds the blood of all who enter; that the devil has deceived on many worlds; that evil lacks reason, except to destroy aught good; and most importantly, that the light does cast out the darkness, with the Blood of the Lamb surpassing all. #Revival #Gospel

Reunification of the Church What does it mean to be a Christian? We need a revival, a great awakening, and this may be more possible than we realize. However, it won't come from the top down. #Gospel #Revival

The Land of the Living If there is any son of Adam’s to whom Psalm 27 applies, it is that thief on the cross. Forsaken by the world in every possible way, he is trapped in a moment of raw finality. There is no chance to distract his spirit, to be blinded to eternity by the mundane trappings of life; instead, he is hanging in that moment between mortal injury and last breath. His own folly has led him unto death, and his neighbors have despised him on a cross. Indeed, he would have fainted, sundered into hell, but the Lord took him up; and, on that day he saw the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. #Gospel #Easter #Christian #Truth

The Two Prophets are indeed two prophets: their message comes from God, their power comes from God, and the opposition they face is opposition against God. The world is not happy to hear their message, because the world is not happy to face reality. Everything fallen and sinful much prefers to bewitch itself with falsehoods and scams than to ever consider the truth. Yet, wisdom is vindicated by her deeds, and the faithfulness of the prophets is so great that it brings hope into an age of evil.

The Little Book (Revelation 10) Of all things unusual, John is presented with the angel’s little book to eat. With the book is something tangible, something real and material, and once partaken it becomes a part of John. Hitherto this moment, John has been many things, but his work is yet complete, for he still has many prophetic words to spread throughout the church. Indeed, we today are listening to his words, which were not his own, but rather words which came from on high. Once he has eaten the book, he cannot go back; all its bitterness, all its honey, he must receive in full. #Revivl #Gospel

Slothfulness Is Everywhere Depression is abundant in our world, and so is a laziness of the mind to not think critically. Both of these issues can be tied back to slothfulness, and the Proverbs teach us much on the matter. Join us in this Bible Study Podcast (Church of the Nazarene). #Gospel #Revival

Two Ways (Revelation 9) There are but two ways: the way of life and the way of death, and a great distinction is between the two. In Revelation 9, there are those afflicted by the seventh seal and those covered by the Lord. If we are watchful, ready, and doing the Lord’s work, then we have nothing to worry. #Gospel #Revival

Miracles of Today Do we believe in things unseen? Do we expect to see them? In this Bible Study Podcast we study the Book of Hebrews and need for Revival. (Church of the Nazarene) #Revival #Gospel

Silence (Revelation 8) When above all heaven the final seal was loosed, there was only one reaction from those who saw: silence. For a half hour, all angels, all saints, and all stirring came to a halt. Every stirring which had thus livened heaven becomes reverent and mute, for they know what hour it is. God knew the suffering of His people, the lamentation of earth, even now the heavenly dwellers understand what comes with this seal. God’s justice, which prepared every opportunity and hour for repentance, is now breaking forth as it has never before, and with it will come woe and gnashing of teeth.

The Seal of the Faithful (Revelation 7) Revelation 7 fulfills the blessings taught to us in earlier Scripture, for God really does want to save His People. Throughout Scripture, we see God promising to deliver a remnant, from whence miracles betide and revivals erupt. Never has God forgotten His People, and even in hours of calamity the King is faithful. #Revival #Gospel

Come and See (Revelation 6) Revelation 6 draws us high above the expanse, to come and see that blessed hour when the seals are opened and judgment breaks out. We are not to be confused as to whom victory belongs, for the King will call forth every hour, that the affairs of heaven and earth be spilled out, from whence justice will come and a new order begin. #Gospel #Revival

Ready Your Character (Living Sacrifice) Are we willing to sacrifice ourselves for Christ? What are we entertained by in our mind? What do you stand for in life? In this Bible Study we discuss the cardinal virtues and how we might be ready for the Spiritual Warfare (Church of the Nazarene) #Revival #Gospel

The Deed beyond All Worlds (Revelation 5) Neither above nor below, among the living nor the dead, is one found of worth. None have lived a worthwhile life, and none may touch the seals of the scroll nor even look upon the blessed text. Its honor is beyond all earthly affairs, and even beyond those mature angels of heaven. In a calamity of calamities, not one soul is worthy, and John gives the only reasonable response: he weeps. Yet, God still wants to redeem. Undoubtedly, some will be condemned, but God still wants to forgive and encourage His creatures. Therefore, and despite our total lack of merit, Jesus came forth and offered Himself as the one worthy to redeem all creation. (Church of the Nazarene) #Gospel #revival

The Elder Genesis (The Old Poem) Do we love Scripture? In this Bible Study, we examine the Anglo Saxon poem known as Genesis A, or The Elder Genesis, which is not Scripture but an adaptation based thereon. We also discuss Proverbs, real hypocrisy, foolery, and the danger of being self-righteous and trust others who are self-righteous. (Church of the Nazarene Podcast) #Revival #Gospel

The Throne above All Worlds (Revelation 4) The Book of Revelation is a gift. Herein Revelation 4, we surpass every bound of heaven and earth to witness the divine mystery, for it draws us near the face of all paradise to glimpse the eternal King. What chamber is worthy of the One who made all things, gave all things, and, in the end, will judge all things? Indeed, there is a Throne above all worlds, and from it all mercy and power flows. #Revival #gospel

Join this Bible Study Podcast to discuss prayers for those near death, the symbols in the world and their connection to evil, and why people are buried facing the east.

Be Watchful (Revelation 3) Knowing who we really are is a powerful thing. Indeed, the churches in Revelation 2 & 3 ought become the most beautiful churches that ever were, for there can be no dispute of where they were or how they ought go. (Church of the Nazarene Bible Study and Sermon) #Revival #Gospel

A Letter on Shallowness Worse than for an idea to simply be wrong, is for it to be nonsense. Things that are wrong can be debated and corrected, but thoughts of nonsense have little hope, for it is the virtue of nonsense is to defy all reason. (Bible Study Podcast) #Revival #Gospel

I Know Thy Works (Revelation 2) At the heart of Christianity is the forgiveness of sin: the recognition that we have done things we ought not do, and the Lord suffered and died to provide redemption. In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, Jesus sends letters to seven churches in Asia. Some of these churches receive a swifter rebuke than others, and some are simply praised. The one theme that glues all these letters together is this: don’t merely embrace the Faith as you want it to be, but rather as it actually is. The Way of Life, that is, Christianity, must be received in full. To parse it out it is to reject it, to exchange its truth for a lie. Inasmuch as Jesus’ tunic could not be divided by those who crucified him, neither can His commandments be divided by His Family (Church of the Nazarene Bible Study) #Revival #Gospel

Grace; Don't Dance for the Flute Many people are quick to do whatever the world tells them, but Christ wants us to be free with Him. Join this Bible Study on Critical Thinking, Freedom, Forgiveness and Grace. (Church of the Nazarene Podcast) #Revival #Gospel

The Honor of Faith We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, and every breath is an opportunity. God has saved us, that our old self might die away, and we might step into something more beautiful. It is an honor to walk in the faith, and join in this Bible Study which examines everything from the Cardinal Virtues to John Newton. (Church of the Nazarene Podcast) #Revival #Gospel

Christ came to testify to the truth, to illuminate and sacrifice Himself for the redemption of man. What does it mean, then, to have good understand, to find real knowledge? There is a lot of propaganda to keep us shallow and fruitless, but God desires us to do something higher (Church of the Nazarene Bible Study) #Gospel #Revival

Revelation 1: A Light to the Isle of Darkness Belief is the key to Revelation, and with it comes the final answer of hope. The Lord Himself showed John beyond the veil that he might be encouraged, and with gratitude we too can partake in that joy. This book is a gift, a beautiful victory; and, we do well to cherish it deep in our hearts. #Gospel #Revelation

Could You Find God on a Desert Isle? What would happen to someone trapped on a lonely island when they died and went before God? Would they be saved, or condemned? Does nature teach of God? In this Bible Study, we discuss the "Good," and how it is woven into creation (Church of the Nazarene Podcast) #Revival #Gospel
