How we see Christ and how we read the Bible are directly related. And while many people are encouraged to know that the Bible is about Christ, they end up discouraged when they can't explain how the Bible's various parts relate to him. Some attempt to force the pieces of the Bible together, making superficial jumps to Jesus. Others give up trying to understand the Bible altogether, losing confidence in God's Word.
So, how can we read the Bible in...

Without tension, we become stagnant and stop growing. In fact, we might even say that tension is both inevitable and, in many cases, desirable in life and leadership.
In Harnessing the Power of Tension: Stretched but Not Broken, international leadership consultant Sam...

Did you know? Most scholars say we cannot learn the identity of the Antichrist today. Indeed, they believe that looking for him at the present time is a waste of time.
But how many people realize that Scripture says:
• It is the duty of the Church to solve the 666 code (Rev. 13:18).
• It is the duty of Christians to recognize false christs (Mt. 24:5).
• God will guide us into "all truth" concerning "things to come" (Jn. 16:13)....

Now, more than ever, an increasing number of experts are convinced that the Antichrist will not come out of Europe. Instead, they say, he will come from one of the Islamic nations that now surround Israel.
However, this is one case where the experts are almost certainly wrong. Indeed, a thorough analysis of the pertinent data proves that it's actually impossible for the Antichrist to be a Muslim or an Arab. And all of that data and analysis can be...
