Have you ever thought about why God commands us, above all, to love Him? If so, how seriously do you take this command? In this third part of the series, Understanding Revelation, we will allow these two questions to prod our thinking that the Spirit of God might search our hearts and help us to reclaim our first love from the opening words in Revelation 2.

Once we understand who Christ is, we are able to engage in what Christ does. This second lesson in the Understanding Revelation series moves us from our Lord’s attributes (last week) into his actions; from his person to His purpose. In Revelation 1:9-20, we are confronted with a unique vision of Christ’s roles as prophet, priest and king, each fulfilled by Him in fulness. These three functions, as well documented by Christian leaders of the past, empower believers today to follow Christ victoriously.

Unveiling Christ is the first lesson in a series titled “Understanding Revelation.” This opening study, from Revelation 1:1-8, shows us how the book of Revelation unveils the person and purpose of Christ in all of His glory, and lays the framework for a greater appreciation of the entire book.

This introduction to the coming 18-week series, “Understanding Revelation,” is designed to give you a blueprint of what is ahead. It is the appetizer before the meal, the teaser designed to help you set apart 30 minutes each week to listen, ponder, and embrace critical teachings from the closing book of the Bible that you might live faithfully in times of trail, right until the end. A discussion guide will be provided with the first of the series next week, along with directions to download the optional video format, all free of charge.

When the way is thorny and your deepest values are challenged, will you continue to live for the Lord? This is the fundamental question Christ calls every Christian to address. The Benham Brothers faced it when they gave up their reality television show with HGTV. We will learn how they came to become so committed and how we can be the same.

In this interview, we consider the idea that only in Christian nations were the circumstances right for science to progress to the point it has today. Based on the work of Stanley Jaki and Pierre Duhem, Transancos has researched this concept in depth. If indeed science was born of Christianity, the implications are significant in our day and age. People often think of science and Christianity as two separate entities (or magisterium) that do not and cannot overlap. What if in fact they are inseparable expressions of truth, with theology being the king of the sciences?

Dr. Campbell exhorts the Church in America to seriously reconsider where their trust lies and find an unfailing source of peace. The national confusion, conflicts, and political distress in our present time needs a heavenly perspective, but many have been deceived and lulled into an unholy, dangerous, and earthly mindset. Campbell firmly, yet graciously, calls his listeners to “get on track” with their relationship with Christ.
