How should we understand the book of Revelation?

RTS has done it again with a wonderful short video on how to understand Revelation.  This is of great import for those in the reformed tradition where dispensational theology, from big name teachers like Beth Moore and Kay Arthur, continues to infiltrate.  Here is a simple way to orient yourself to the book

What about those who have never heard about Jesus?

Have you heard that Question from someone you are sharing the gospel with?  Are you unsure how to answer?  I subscribe to a website called Christian Ministries International that puts out a daily post on apologetics and evangelism questions.  Today’s question comes from their site and below is their answer in a few brief talking points (The original post was here): Many people wrestle with the question of the eternal fate of those who’ve never heard the gospel of Jesus…

Kevin DeYoung had a great way of looking at race, politics and gender in a way that may be more gracious than some of the other approaches of pigeon holing those we disagree with.  Highly encourage the read.  To whet your appetite, here is a sample table from his article using his four types of people and applying it to certain issues.

What does HiCC, Max Higbee, The Bellingham Lions and Whatcom Relief have in common?

Awareness of and access to the many outreach services available to those facing challenges in our community is needed now more than ever.   To that end, we are  teaming up with Bellingham Harborview Lions Club in presenting a virtual event, Whatcom Relief 2020, benefiting various local Whatcom County non-profits (501c3) as well as AFSP.   Donations to Whatcom Relief 2020  and our Little Library supporting the Max Higbee Center can be made here: https://www.localbiztopia.com/tiny-library/98225006.   Each Tiny Library represents…
