The UnSafe Bible

In today’s world, it is so easy to have idols. Whether it be money, technology, or relationships, it has never been easier to have an idol. In today’s message, Pastor Ken talks about how to keep God at the center of our lives. In today’s world, we must keep Christ as our foundation. We do this by spending time in His word, worshiping, and being an active part of the Biblical community. God commands us to throw out the idols in our lives. When we keep Him at the center, He will provide for us.

What are the battles that Christians exclusively face? Today, Pastor Ken talks about the battles that we face as Christians. Satan will do everything in His power to throw us off the path of Jesus. Because of this, we need to learn how to point out the voice of the Lord in our everyday lives. There will be things that will seem like it’s from the Lord, but it isn’t. We distinguish these voices by spending time in the word of God and with His people in the Church. Satan will try to tempt us, so we need to learn to withstand His attacks.

Why do we need God? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the necessity of God in our lives. God talks about why we need Him, and it’s because He is perfect. In Jeremiah, the Bible discusses how our hearts are inherently evil because of sin. This sin keeps us separated from God, and we deserve death because of it. But because of the ultimate perfect sacrifice of Jesus, we are no longer separated from God because of Sin. He took on our sins so that we could be with Him for eternity.

Why is it important for us to look at the text of Revelation and the future of the world? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken talks about the importance of recognizing the time that we are in and looking to the world's future. Because Jesus hasn’t returned yet, we are in a time of Grace. We are allowed to place our faith in Christ. We won’t have to endure what lies ahead in Revelation, but it should be a motivation for us to share the Gospel with everyone so that they won't have to endure Revelation either.

How literal is the Bible when it comes to describing Heaven, Hell, and the state of the earth after Jesus returns? Today, Pastor Ken talks about the legitimacy of heaven, hell, and the world after God has returned. Heaven is a real place. God is preparing a place for His followers for when He returns. Hell is also a real place. Hell is for those who refuse to place their trust in God. We were separated from God, but He wanted to be with us, so God sent Jesus down to take our place. Because of this, we now can spend eternity with Him.

Wow, the place that Pastor Ken is describing sounds like a grim and scary place to be. What if I told you that Pastor Ken was describing the Earth once Jesus comes back? In today’s edition of The Unsafe Bible, Pastor Ken explores Revelation, and the descriptions of the earth once the period of Tribulation begins. Now, I know I definitely do not want to be on the earth during the tribulation. Thankfully, as Christians, we will not endure that! Because of our faith in Jesus, we will be in Heaven glorifying God.

There is no sport where you can be part of both teams that are playing against each other. It would be ludicrous to think that you could play on both sides of a ping-pong table, or that you could decide to play for whichever basketball team is currently winning. Why do we think we can do that spiritually? All throughout the Scriptures, it tells us that you are either with God, or you are not. Pastor Ken reminds us today that you cannot ride the fence between God and Satan. You cannot serve two masters.

It may feel like Satan has been given full authority to control people on earth. But really, his only authority is this: to steal, to kill, and to destroy. His only weapon to accomplish his goal is to lie. The only thing he can do is take the truths of God and twist them into half-truths. Today, Pastor Ken sheds some light on Satan: where he came from, how he operates, and his ultimate demise. He may seem like an unbeatable enemy, but when you know the whole story, it's easy to see how you can have victory.

Have you ever woken up from a weird dream? Dreams can be so vivid and real that it takes a moment to sort through what really happened and what was just your imagination. Sometimes, reading the book of Revelation can feel a bit like that. It can seem like it's just a weird dream or a crazy metaphor. Today, though, Pastor Ken reminds us that Revelation is a history book: a book of future history. As weird and bizarre as it may get, it is real. We don't have the luxury of deciding something is too strange to happen.

It's hard to deny that there is a Creator while looking at a beautiful sunset. Scripture tells us that part of the job of nature is to point us to God. The sun, moon, and stars all tell us a story of how amazing God is. So in Revelation, when it describes the drastic changes to nature that will take place, that's also to point people to God. Today, Pastor Ken teaches that during the tribulation, one-third of the earth will be destroyed. Why all this destruction? To point those on earth toward God, who is in control.
