Katharine came to Christ after hearing the gospel and seeing the truth of the Bible, how clearly it prophesies the emerging Antichrist one world order, as well as the degradation and wickedness in our world today. She is dedicated to sharing this truth along with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Ask any professing believer the question, “How long were the children of Israel in Egypt?”, and the answer is most likely to be 430 years. If you ask the follow-on question, “How long were they in bondage in Egypt?”, the answer is also likely to be 430 years. But are these the correct answers?
Proverbs 3:9-10 is bursting with promise. To understand these verses we must remember that a proverb (parable, riddle, byword, dark saying) is God’s way of speaking to us indirectly, so that those who are wise, who fear the Lord, will understand the true meaning.
Before we can believe we must hear the word of God, the seed that is sown into our hearts. If the ground within our heart is honest and good, we will understand and receive the word. And in time we will bear fruit.
Jesus speaking to the Pharisees and scribes: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. (Luke 15:7)
The message of salvation and the good news of God’s coming kingdom is not limited to the New Testament, but can be found throughout the Old Testament.
Our prayers are important. They are our spiritual sacrifices, our sacrifice of praise, and the way in which we humbly petition God with our earnest requests. And when we pray, we must do so fervently and in faith.
Looking at the occupations of some of the more significant men in the Bible, there were those who were shepherds and those who were hunters or archers. Shepherds care for their flocks, lead them to green pasture and fresh water, and watch over them at night to protect them from foxes and other predators. Hunters and archers, on the other hand, are predators.
There are many professing believers who love the all-love Jesus but who don’t know the word of God. Yet, Jesus is the Word of God and he said that if anyone loves him, he will keep his words.
In the Greek Old Testament, 56 psalms are written “for the end” (Brenton) or “for the conclusion” (Thomson). That’s just over one third of all psalms. Given the times that we’re living in, this makes every one of these psalms, individually and together, especially pertinent for all believers.
The King James translation uses many words commonplace in the early 17th century, but which are now rarely used. The word “firkin” in the Book of John is one of those words.
Is salvation eternally secure or not? The key to answering this question comes when we don’t engage in an either-or debate but, rather, engage the scriptures as Bereans.

One of my favourite verses about Jesus, our Saviour, is John 14:6. This verse shows us that Jesus is the ONLY way, the ONLY truth, and the ONLY life. Praise God!
Praise God that Jesus was not only resurrected but is also the resurrection, the one who quickens us, who gives us eternal life, and who will raise us up on the last day.
Jesus, the good shepherd, came to lay his life down for us (John 10:11. 10:15) because we, as sheep, all went astray, each to our own way. Yet, in laying down his life, Jesus was, himself, as a sheep being led to slaughter.
We walk through many doors in our life in this world, but there’s only one door that matters, the door that is Jesus Christ. Towards the end of the sermon on the mount, Jesus utters these well-known words:
Praise God that Jesus is the light of the world, the true Light and the long-prophesied light of the Gentiles, the underlying word of which — ἔθνος — can be more simply translated as nations (Isaiah 42:6).
“I am the bread of life” is the first of seven “I AM” statements in the Book of John, all of which confirm his divinity. Jesus continues on to explain that his flesh is the bread of life.
