The forces of evil may appear powerful, but their end has already been determined.

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Revelation to expose Satan’s final rebellion, the rise of the Antichrist, and the deception of the false prophet. He also warns that the spirit of antichrist is already at work wherever the divinity of Jesus Christ is denied and the Gospel is corrupted.

Yet believers do not face the future in fear. The Lamb who was slain has already won the decisive victory. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus defeated sin and death, and He will ultimately crush every power that opposes His Kingdom.

This episode calls believers to:

• Repent of compromise and spiritual complacency,
• Stand firmly on Biblical Truth,
• Reject every false gospel,
• Intercede for those trapped in deception,
• Trust the sealing and protection of the Holy Spirit,
• Proclaim Jesus Christ as the only Savior and coming King.

Satan’s defeat is certain. Christ’s victory is complete. And the Church must faithfully proclaim the Gospel until He returns.

Scripture Focus: Revelation 12; Revelation 13; Revelation 11;

Investing can feel overwhelming. With countless funds, strategies, market forecasts, and opinions competing for attention, it’s easy to assume that successful investing requires constant analysis and a complicated portfolio.

But it doesn’t have to.

For decades, Sound Mind Investing has offered an indexing strategy called Just-the-Basics, designed around simplicity, diversification, and minimal maintenance. According to Mark Biller, Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, a straightforward indexing approach can also work alongside more active investment strategies.

The key may not be choosing between active investing and indexing, but understanding how both can fit in a well-designed portfolio.

Index investing begins with a simple idea: rather than trying to beat the market, investors seek to earn approximately the market’s return.

They typically accomplish this through low-cost index funds that track a particular market benchmark. Because these funds generally require less active management, their expenses tend to be lower than those of actively managed funds.

Over time, those lower costs can be significant. “Indexing is based on the idea that an investor is going to give up trying to beat the market in favor of just earning the market’s return,” Biller explains.

Sound Mind Investing’s Just-the-Basics strategy takes that concept and keeps it intentionally simple. It uses three stock index funds and, when appropriate for the investor’s asset allocation, a bond index fund.

Once established, the strategy requires relatively little maintenance—typically an annual portfolio rebalance. That simplicity can make indexing especially appealing to investors who don’t want to continually monitor markets or make frequent investment decisions.

Investors sometimes treat active management and indexing as competing philosophies. Either you try to outperform the market, or you simply track it.

SMI takes a different approach. Although the organization may be better known for its active strategies, Just-the-Basics was actually the first investing strategy introduced in the SMI newsletter more than three decades ago.

Rather than viewing active investing and indexing as an either-or decision, Biller suggests thinking in terms of both-and.

That approach can be particularly useful for investors whose workplace retirement plans offer mostly index funds. For example, an investor might use low-cost index funds inside a 401(k) while employing active strategies elsewhere in the portfolio.

Combining the two can create another layer of diversification without requiring every investment account to follow the same approach.

If simplicity is the goal, why not simply purchase a total stock market index fund?

That would certainly be easy. But SMI has historically used three separate stock index funds instead. There are practical reasons for that.

When Just-the-Basics was first introduced, total stock market index funds were not yet widely available. More importantly, many workplace retirement plans still do not offer a true total-market option.

Most plans, however, offer something simila

Prerequisites. Students certainly know what those are. Those are things that have to come before other things. Before you can take English 201, you have to take English 101. Well today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie helps us explore any prerequisites in making a genuine commitment to Jesus Christ. If heaven hangs in the balance, we want to make sure our hearts and minds are sincere in fully accepting the Lord’s invitation. Today’s message serves as the finale to our studies in Acts.
