I believe in eternal security and present nine arguments why I believe it is true. But I also believe that the falling away passages have a practical application for us today. This message explains the falling away passages, proves eternal security, and explains how we can avoid both the antinomian and the legalistic errors that often plague eternal security.

You heard that Jesus was the only way of salvation and that every real Christian was going to vanish in the rapture at the end of the age (in the near future) before God starts pouring out judgment on the world. But you rejected this message. Maybe you delayed your response to it, or maybe you scoffed at it. Now you discover to your shock that your "born again" family and friends were right. Now what do you do? This brief video (59 seconds) will tell you everything you need to know to get started on the right path. Picture credit.

SHORT — We ought to care far more about what constitutes success in God's eyes than in man's eyes.

In 1 John 4:1-2 we are warned that there are many false prophets, and hence many deceiving spirits, in the world. And we are warned that we have an obligation to test these spirits. How do we do this? By the word of God.

When we step into eternity, we will be living in an infinite utopia where we will never find ourselves in a situation that could cause pain. Not physical pain. Not emotional pain.

Many folks believe that the church just tags along for the ride at Armageddon and that the Lord alone does the fighting. This does not square with the plain statements of Scripture.

Folks often object to the pretribulation rapture by raising the objection that it wouldn't be fair to the saints of the rest of church history if the final generation got a free pass from tribulation. But this objection is rhetoric, not factual.

What are the signs in the heavens? When do they occur? Do they occur during the seventieth week or at the second coming? Find out in this insightful video.

The Lord tenderly regards the tears of his saints. And some sweet day soon, they shall exchange their jar of tears for an ocean of blessing.

Do you fear that your efforts to love and serve the Lord are so insignificant, so meagre, that you fear you may not have any reward at all at the rapture? Take heart. God is far more gracious than many of us suspect.

There has been a lot of excitement lately about the possibility that we will be raptured late this summer or early this fall based on the Shemitah cycle. Is there anything to this theory or is it based on unfounded assumptions?

The streets of gold and the other indications of stupendous wealth in New Jerusalem are a promise much more expansive than most people think.

The partial rapture adds the extra motivation of missing the rapture to encourage men in devotion and holiness. Does it work? No. Adding extra motives to the basic motives of the Bible message never produces better results.

This video brings out the meaning of John 14:2-3, including the force of the phrase "many mansions."

Will the rapture be secret? If so, in what way will it be secret? Find out why the mockers are wrong and why the rapture really will be secret.

The partial rapture teaching has harried many believers who fear they may miss the rapture because they are not devoted enough. This video proves from the Bible that the rapture is an aspect of salvation not an aspect of reward for service. The rapture is based on the indwelling Holy Spirit, not the believer's performance.

The amazing reward that we will receive at the rapture will make all our our trials in this life look like light affliction which only lasted for a moment.

The 24 elders in Revelation chapters 4-5 are one of the strongest arguments for the pretribulation rapture. They can't be angels. They can't be OT saints. And they can't be the church---absent from the body, present with the Lord---waiting for the day of the rapture and reward. They can only be the raptured and rewarded church.

The rapture bears a fixed relationship to the tribulation and second coming. It will likely happen 6 months to a few years prior to the tribulation. It cannot happen 20 or 100 years earlier. There are five important signs of the times which indicate that we are rapidly closing in on the time of the rapture.

Demonstrates from scripture that the technical arrival of the day of the Lord is the second coming, that the first sign of the approaching day of the Lord is the morning star (the rapture), and that the seventieth week is the dawning of the day upon the world.

An hour-long message preached February, 2022 at Boulevard Bible Chapel In Pembroke Pines, Florida. Will we inherit an infinite inheritance in God's infinite universe as part of our eternal inheritance, or do we only inherit three-square feet to stand on for 24/7 formal worship?

The rapture is imminent. Imminent does not mean random. It means near. And the evidence tells us that the stage-setting for the last days is accelerating, which means that the rapture is accelerating toward us. At 27:40-47 I said there cannot be 10, 20, 40, or 100 years between the rapture and the second coming. I meant to say "between the rapture and the tribulation."

Matthew 11:11 informs us that he that is least in the kingdom of heaven will be greater than John the Baptist. What is this verse telling us? Can we have greater character, calling, or spirituality than John? Or is it referring to something else?

Who is the great multitude in Revelation 7:9? Is it the church? Or is it the tribulation saints? There are two considerations in the context which indicate that it is the tribulation saints.

The pretribulation rapture is often mocked because many of us believe that we will leave our clothes behind when we go up in the rapture. Are we gullible folks who have lost our marbles? Or is this the actual teaching of the Bible?
