Rapture! Fact or Fiction?

4/18/26 Rapture! Fact or Fiction? 1985
Does the rapture of believers, who are transformed into a resurrected body, to meet the Lord in the air, occur before the Tribulation? How is Jesus’s appearance in the rapture different from His second coming to earth? Prophecy expert Dr David Reagan, founder of Lamb & Lion Ministries and author of Living on Borrowed Time-The Imminent Return of Jesus, said, ”There’s no mention of the Church after Rev 3, because the Church has been raptured out.” Evangelist Tiff Shuttlesworth says Biblical patterns show us God’s character. Since Christ took our punishment for us, God won’t bring his wrath on his Church.

Shipwrecked at Sea

4/11/26 Shipwrecked at Sea 1984
In 1945, Edgar Harrell, was on the USS Indianapolis that delivered the components for the atomic bombs that won WWII but was sunk by a Japanese submarine. Blown up at midnight, he jumped for his life into the oil soaked, murky-black, freezing water! Hundreds of men died, some instantly, some later. Listen to this harrowing experience. For 4 ½ days, he desperately tried to stay alive as others perished. Although he was exhausted, dehydrated and very cold, he had a peace only Christ can give. He saw his buddies being eaten alive by sharks, but he said, “God’s Presence gave me great strength to persevere.”

Our New Heavenly Bodies

4/4/26 Our New Heavenly Bodies 1983
Our new resurrected bodies in heaven won’t simply be resuscitated bodies but transformed glorified bodies. The Resurrected Christ gives us a vivid picture of what our resurrected bodies will be like. Author Randy Alcorn says we will have a physical, flesh and bone body that is a real, tangible body. We really will be ourselves and recognize others. We will celebrate with delicious food in energized luminescent bodies that are vibrant and powerful. We will be able to travel with just a thought. David Jeremiah, author of The Promise of Heaven, says, “The more we think of heaven, the less fearful we will be now on earth.

The Agony of Gethsemane

3/28/26 The Agony of Gethsemane 1982
From the beginning of time people feared and dreaded death, but the resurrection of Christ changed that by showing death wasn’t the end but the beginning. Our nation’s schools are robbing this generation of this life changing, historical fact, by censoring out the greatest event in all human history – the resurrection. Patriot Pastor Garrett Lear tells of Christ’s suffering in Gethsemane where he sweat drops of blood, the beatings, the tortuous death on the cross and the separation from God the Father. But Jesus wasn’t a victim caught in a trap but a wonderful victor filled with resurrection power.

The Religion of Evolution

3/21/26 The Religion of Evolution 1981
Is Intelligent Design religious? Is evolution scientific, or is it a religious belief based on faith? Are millions of scientists who believe in evolution wrong? Evolution has been enshrined in our educational system with laws to protect it. Scientists in the 1800’s believed that life could spontaneously come from non-life. What Darwin believed, Pasteur disproved. Dr Carl Werner, author of Evolution-the Grand Experiment, believed in evolution until a friend asked him questions that changed his worldview. Why would birds evolve half a wing or animals that evolve half a leg evolve into intermediates that are incapable of life?
