"The sheep's clothing seems so genuine, that the wolf can be discerned only as we go to God's great moral standard..." (FW, 45). The enemy works stealthily to deceive us, surrounding us with falsities of death, of the gifts of the spirit, of mere men having the power to forgive sins. He also floods our minds with guilt and doubt, confusing us about repentance and God's forgiveness... But don't despair, look to Christ ! HE is your standard and your worth !

Prophecy is unrolling and extending right before us, but are we really living in the last days ? Are the United States of America in Bible prophecy ? What is the difference between pagan Rome and papal Rome ? What is the final battle and what is the timeline of this armageddon ? Join Pastor Ross during this episode of Bible Answers Live as he clarifies the mysteries and confusions of the books of prophecy and helps callers from different countries come to a clearer understanding of the Bible.

In the word there is divine energy that can transform your mind and make you a new creation (E.J. Waggoner). In the word we are entreated to die to self, to allow Christ to abide in us and to express HIM in everything we do : submitting our wills to God, being sincere in faith, loving those that pain us. It will be crushing to let go, to die to the desires of the heart and be empty shells, unless we can let go but let Him in, for "this is my comfort in my affliction; Thy word has made me alive."

The brevity of time is catching up. Look around and you will see that the prevailing sins and the indulgence of perverted appetites are polluting our morality (CTBH, 11). Time is almost done, and as we will study, salvation really isn't that hard. Christ's yolk is easy and if we can just have a true change of heart, a better quality of righteousness, a perseverance and patience to obey and keep on the journey of growth and grace, if we can just commit and TRUST... we can make it to Heaven.

Christ seeks to give us a true direction of our faith. He is the resurrection and the original, unborrowed, underived Life (DA, 530). We are confused about predestination, we are confused about faith and presumption and prophecy and suicide and salvation... Listen to this edition of Bible Answers Live and receive God's clarity directly from His word. Open your Bible and your heart, confess your faith in Him and your confidence that He will see you through until the very end, no matter what.

"He that has My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me." It is enjoined upon us to walk in the light as Christ is in the light, so open your heart with us to receive every ray of light that God chooses to impart (2MR, 265). We'll study about the Second Coming and the glory and the power that will accompany ! And we'll learn that He has faithful witnesses in all faiths that will be saved, because we lived according to the light we were able to receive.

"In Christ you have the victory; when you are in Him the temptations assail Him, and not you by yourself. When you hide your weakness in His strength, His strength will fight the battle," (E.J. Waggoner). Let Him turn your mistake into victory and help you learn what He's trying to teach you. If you wonder about the Bible's credibility, about the Ten Commandments' validity, about the necessity of Christ's sacrifice, tune in. Take His mercy, His victory, His strength and press on.

He hasn't forgotten you. Nothing can befall us of which God takes no immediate interest (SC, 117). He has you engraved in the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:16); YOU are His priority, YOU are the object of His love and yearning (COL, 225), so don't listen to the fear as Elijah did. Instead keep your head up and cling to Him like Mary. Instead listen to that small voice of the Holy Spirit, no matter the tribulation. Give everything for your salvation, as Christ gave everything for your salvation.

God would have us take the short and straight way, we would take the rich and easy way, but neither would have the same value for our character. Mercifully He allows the burdens and temptations to "work together for good to them that love God," and our mistakes make our crooked paths, paths of sin and spiritual stagnation. Listen closely as we explore the seriousness of our faith and duty after baptism, and as we understand that perfection does not mean flawlessness.

By our wrong habits we lessen our hold on life (CD, 45). If we keep willfully sinning, what are we truly doing but growing dark and lessening our strength to glorify God, which is certain death. In this new year, what will you change ? Will you self-examine, surrender, or will you continue judging and sinning until Jesus returns ? Study with us and "with intense earnestness learn the trade of seeking His blessings... for God will be to us everything we will let Him be," if we only ask (Pr, 56).
