Revelation is written by John to reveal the Lord Jesus Christ and his coming Kingdom. It gives us hope that the reality we see around us now is not the one that will last forever . . . there is something more . . . something better.

No matter what the wind of your life may be, Jesus stands ready to save you. Turn your eyes upon Jesus!

Even though it does not always seem like it, the Lord God Omnipotent reigns. The Church of Jesus Christ continues to reap a wonderful harvest, and God has chosen you to be a laborer

There can be no one to collect on God’s people . . . on the debt for their sin or the certificate for their divorce . . . because there isn’t one. God is not negligent. God has not forgotten. God has not forsaken us. He has placed all of it on Christ--he is the forsaken of Psalm 22, not us.
