Is the War in Israel a Sign of the End Times?

As Christians, we should take this time to be intentional with sharing the gospel with those around us; we should continue to cultivate our own relationships with God and be diligent in prayer. This is not a time to fear; it is a time to live the life God has called us to live. Not even the Son knows the exact time He will return to Earth, but we can still be aware of these incredible prophecies coming to pass.

By praying to God every day to ask for His help and forgiveness, we get closer to Him.

War in Israel: A Fulfillment of Bible Prophecy?

I woke up Saturday morning, and I was shocked to read the headline: “Israel Is at War.”

It is almost 50 years to the day the last time Israel was officially at war in what is known as the Yom Kippur War back in 1973 when she was attacked by Egypt. Syria, and others. But this is a different kind of war.

What Is the Significance of Fatherhood in the Bible?

When you think of the significance of fatherhood in the Bible, our greatest example is our heavenly Father. For some, relating to God as Father can be difficult because you may tie it to your relationship with your earthly father. Regardless of your relationship with your earthly father or the kind of father you have been, there is hope. You have a model which you can always refer to in God, our Father.

And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. (1 Cor. 15:14-15)
