The Anchor of Our Blessed Hope in Perilous Times :: By Jonathan Brentner

We live in “perilous times” on steroids. In one sense, the characteristics that Paul wrote about in 2 Timothy 3:1-5 have been true of godless people down through the ages. Such people have always made life “perilous” for those with biblical faith. On the other hand, these characteristics have become much more prominent in our […]

The Epidemic of Deception :: By Jonathan Brentner

As the spirit of the antichrist gains more strength in our world each and every day, it helps to remember what Jesus said about the one behind it, the devil himself. In John 8:44, Jesus characterized Satan as “a murderer from the beginning” and “a liar and the father of lies.” The news headlines of […]

Suddenly :: By Jonathan Brentner

Suddenly! The word increasingly strikes fear into the hearts of many as they watch young and healthy people abruptly drop dead, just as Damon Hamlin did before a national audience. Unlike most, he had medical help immediately after he collapsed. The quote below comes from a January 2, 2023, Rasmussen Reports story. According to their […]

God Sees Our Distress; Our Deliverer Is Coming :: By Jonathan Brentner

I love the words of Scripture. They form the basis for my hope of eternal life, provide needed assurance in times of trouble, and calm my soul during the turbulent times in which we live. Sometimes a passage or a phrase speaks to me in a new way. Such was the case with Exodus 2:23-25: […]

The Bubble of Normalcy :: By Jonathan Brentner

In 1920, Warren G. Harding ran for president with the campaign slogan of “The return to normalcy.” Despite harsh criticism for his use of such an obscure word at the time, the idea of returning to “normalcy” swept him into the Oval Office. His motto had great appeal to Americans in 1920 as they longed […]

Conspiracy Theories or Spoiler Alerts? You Decide :: By Jonathan Brentner

Evil people have always conspired against the righteous. We see this in the words of David in Psalm 37:12: “The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him.” Why, then, do the majority of people doubt that this happens today? Why do so many believers deny that there’s an apparent deadly intent […]

Dare To Be An Enoch :: By Jonathan Brentner

“Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). Enoch is a type of our future departure from the earth at Jesus’ appearing. Hebrews 11:5 tells us this about his sudden disappearance: “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, […]

What’s Mercy Got to Do With Bible Prophecy? :: By Jonathan Brentner

Ruth, my wife, and I have a cat named Adaline. On the surface, one might wonder why she has captured our hearts. I don’t fully understand why I’m so attached to her, although she is cute. She most often demands her own way and audibly grumbles when that doesn’t happen. Adaline exhibits “management qualities” when […]

Jonathan sinned against Saul not God

In 1 Samuel 14 why was Jonathan’s action of eating the honey when he was unaware of his fathers command, more of a sin than the Israelites eating meat with blood?

Popular But Dangerous View of the End Times :: By Jonathan Brentner

It’s perhaps the most significant question one can ask today regarding biblical prophecy. The inquiry draws a line in the sand, with each group holding fast to what they believe. The question is this: Will the Lord restore a glorious kingdom to Israel during Jesus’ thousand-year reign upon the earth? Most pastors today would answer […]
