Lately, there have been a lot of claims and predictions that the Rapture is going to happen in September of 2025. In this video, I take some time to respond to these predictions from a biblical perspective. We’ll look at what Scripture actually says about the return of Christ, why setting dates has always been a dangerous path, and how we should live faithfully as we wait for Jesus’ coming.My goal is to point us back to God’s Word and encourage believers to focus on readiness and discipleship rather than speculation. Whether you’ve seen these claims online or are just curious how to approach this topic soberly, I hope this video helps you think carefully, biblically, and with hope in Christ.All our links are here

In this video, I respond to  ⁨@VoiceOfReason_⁩  finally breaking the silence on the allegations of sexual misconduct against him. My take? He’s addressing this the right way—and there’s a lot here Protestants could actually learn from.I’m not here to excuse sin, but to look honestly at how confession, accountability, and repentance are handled. When leaders fall, how we respond matters. There are lessons here about transparency, humility, and restoration that go beyond this situation and into the wider church.Let’s talk about it.All our links are here

These chapters highlight God’s sovereignty over nations, the seriousness of His judgment, and the necessity of listening to His true word.Questions:1. How does the prophecy of seventy years of captivity shape our understanding of God’s timing and purposes in history?2. Why do you think the people preferred to believe the false prophets instead of Jeremiah, even though his message came from God?3. What can these chapters teach us about how to discern between God’s true word and voices that simply tell us what we want to hear?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here

Jeremiah delivers God’s word of judgment to Judah’s kings, exposing their failure to uphold justice and care for the people. In contrast, God promises a righteous Branch who will reign with wisdom and righteousness. The vision of good and bad figs highlights the difference between those who submit to God’s discipline and those who continue in rebellion.

Questions:

1. In Jeremiah 22, God calls out the kings of Judah for neglecting justice. What does this reveal about how God views leadership and responsibility?

2. Jeremiah 23 promises a righteous Branch from David’s line. How does this deepen our understanding of Christ’s role as King and Shepherd?

3. In Jeremiah 24, the exiles who submit to God’s discipline are compared to good figs. How does this image challenge our view of trials and God’s refining work in our lives?

How does this image challenge our understanding of God’s patience and the consequences of rejecting Him?2. Jeremiah 20 records the prophet’s deep personal struggle as he faces ridicule and despair. What can we learn from his honesty about faith in times of suffering?3.
