The world offers many sources of so-called hope. People ascribe to self-help thinking and positive affirmation. Pastor JD will remind us that our only TRUE hope is in the return of Jesus Christ. Why? Because when Jesus returns, He will bring with him a rule of righteousness that will end all of the darkness that we see in this world.

The most recent developments regarding the protection of babies who have actually been BIRTHED is absolutely astounding! Where have we come to as a society that we are not willing to protect breathing, living babies that have survived the wicked abortion process!?!?!? Truly friends, we are in the last days. May God be merciful while we await His return.

Pastor JD will spend time today on the impending elections in Israel, the controversy surrounding their current prime minister, and the current political uproar in the United States. The chaos in the world may seem out of control, but one thing remains certain – God is NOT surprised! He knows exactly what's going on, and the future is still under His control!

When you’re in the marsh, and things are weighing on you. When you become overwhelmed with emotions, and you’re clawing and scratching to find your way out. Who is your advocate in these moments? Is there someone who can give a different perspective? Join us today, as Pastor JD explains the importance of encouragement.

Are you feeling alone and isolated? You don’t have to be. When you belong to Christ, you are part of His body, His church. Pastor JD instructs us that when a local body is assembled, it is like a living organism, a community of believers, where you can find friendship and fellowship and strength and safety.

Anxiety and worry rob us of our peace and joy and can isolate us from our fellow Christians and even from our Lord. But we don’t have to bear it alone. In fact, we can’t, and God doesn’t want us to. Peter tells us to “cast our cares upon the Lord, because he cares for you.” Today, Pastor JD exhorts you to do just that.

The news that inundates your life today is frequently violent, angry, or downright depressing! Your world is dark, and getting darker by the moment. Today, though, Pastor JD wants to pierce that darkness with some light – the light of truth! God's Word is refreshing in these end days, giving you hope to hold on to and promises that you know will be fulfilled!

Though it might seem odd, the Bible actually says that as the last days are approaching, more and more people will begin to mock and scoff at the return of Jesus. The more people mock and scoff, the closer we are. If you're paying any attention at all these days, people are mocking the idea of the rapture and the return of Jesus regularly.

Though we've discussed this a few times before here on the Mid East Prophecy Update...our president's determination to bring peace to the Middle East is astounding! There is more and more discussion about how peace can be accomplished. These sorts of events point us more and more to the soon return of Jesus Christ.

Are you currently experiencing hard and challenging times? Know that you are not alone. Many of your brothers and sisters in Christ are also undergoing trials of many kinds. And there is a way through these difficulties. Today, Pastor JD shows you how to not only survive but to thrive in difficult circumstances.
