On March 9, 1974, a Filipino man named Hiroo Onoda walked out of the jungle on the island of Lubang and formally surrendered his sword. He was dressed in his deteriorating military uniform.

Left Behind: The Lasting Wound of Rapture Anxiety

Levaire — Fri, 22 May 2026 00:56:17 +0000

The first time Karen felt it, she was nine years old. She came home from school on a Tuesday afternoon in the fall of 1981, pushed open the back door of her family’s house in suburban Ohio, and called out for her mother. No answer. She checked the kitchen, the living room, the backyard. She […]

Isaiah 11: Future New Earth or Present New Covenant?

Levaire — Sat, 09 May 2026 20:33:33 +0000

Isaiah 11, Peter’s Vision in Acts 10, and the Case for New Covenant Fulfillment Isaiah 11 is one of those chapters that has accumulated more than its share of interpretive freight. It opens with an image of breathtaking tenderness: a shoot rising from the stump of Jesse, a Spirit-endowed king who judges not by appearances […]

There is a pile of twelve stones somewhere near the Jordan River. Or there was. Joshua 4 tells us that the Israelites pulled one stone from the riverbed for each of the twelve tribes as they crossed over into Canaan on dry ground, a miracle marking the end of forty years of wilderness wandering. The […]

What Did Irenaeus Really Teach About the Rapture?

Levaire — Tue, 05 May 2026 00:50:39 +0000

On the early Church fathers, their genuine value, their real limitations, and why the words of Jesus should settle the question. A friend was excited. He had been listening to several pastors lately, and all of them, he said, were talking about the rapture. You could hear in his voice the particular zeal of someone […]

50 Bible Verses for Hard Times

Yaneke Lewis — Fri, 01 May 2026 03:21:50 +0000

It is an immense blessing to be a born-again Christian. We get to partake of God’s holiness and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life and we get to experience the fulfillment of Divine purpose for our lives. All this is good and acceptable until […]

Bible Study on the Book of Genesis

Yaneke Lewis — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 01:31:41 +0000

The book of Genesis offers a fascinating account of the origin of the universe, man and sin. It tells us about the first family and God’s interaction with them; it chronicles the first murder and even offers a glimpse into the redemptive plan God had in mind from the time of man’s fall. In the […]

Levaire — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 18:16:57 +0000

A Theological Guide to Unanswered Prayer, Silence, and the Promises that Hold. Every serious Christian has sat with a prayer that seemed to go nowhere. The request was sincere. The need was real.

How to Recognize a Cult

Levaire — Sat, 14 Mar 2026 15:39:28 +0000

And What to Do When Someone You Love Is In One Nobody thinks it will happen to them. Cults, in the popular imagination, are remote compounds and matching jumpsuits and leaders with unusual names. They are the stuff of documentaries, not family dinners. The people in them are naive, or desperate, or damaged in some […]

Is the Hebrew Roots Movement a Cult?

Levaire — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 00:43:03 +0000

What to Do If Someone You Love Is In HRM The conversation probably started innocuously. Your friend, or spouse, or sibling, or parent, mentioned they had been studying the “Hebrew roots” of Christianity. They started talking about the Sabbath, the feasts of Leviticus 23, the dietary laws. They began using the name Yeshua instead of […]

Should Christians Follow the Mosaic Law?

Levaire — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 01:59:43 +0000

What the New Testament Actually Says—and Why It Matters Now Most Christians settle the question of the Mosaic Law without ever quite asking it. They attend churches that celebrate Christmas and Easter, eat whatever they want, and observe Sunday worship, none of which appears in the instructions God gave Moses at Sinai. And they don’t […]
