Miracles and “The Lie” of 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2

Miracles and “The Lie” of 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2

Paul, in addressing a false teaching going around in his day which claimed that the Day of the Lord had already come and gone, speaks of two things which will unmistakably precede and mark the commencement of the real Day of the Lord. Then, while expounding on these two signs, he says that some will believe "the lie". What is the nature of this future untruth?

Could the Rapture Happen Today? (Part 2)

I've written longer articles on each subject, with Biblical references, in past posts.

Speaking About Tongues

Speaking About Tongues

Today I'm re-launching a series of posts on the subject of speaking in tongues. My motivation is to help correct some errors in the Church which are at best mistaken beliefs and at worst a demonic deception and a mockery of God. These articles are intended for those who are genuinely asking what the true nature of this spiritual gift is, and whether it's a vital part of the Christian's walk with the Lord.
