In case you missed the rapture, the rapture being the time when Jesus removed His bride (the church) from the earth before the Great Tribulation, there are things you may want cleared up in reference to the world before the rapture happened. I’ve written this because scripture says that in the time that your currently in there will be strong delusion that will not allow many of you to receive the truth (2 Thessalonians 2:11). This is my attempt to provide some assistance in accessing the truth and breaking that strong delusion. In specific reference about Christians and the church before the rapture there are some things you need to know. First off, not everyone that called themselves “Christians” were actually believers in repentance & salvation only through Jesus Christ. Not all of them had a relationship with Jesus Christ. Not all of them lived by His Word and made Him the priority & center point of their life.

Should Christians do yoga? There is a growing consensus today that it is alright for Christians to engage in the practice and exercise of yoga. There is even a movement going around named “Christian Yoga” or “Yoga for Christians”. There are churches that embrace it and even provide yoga classes for their congregation. Many feel its ok because they play gospel music or scriptures with their exercise so it takes away from any other notions that come with yoga. But is it really okay for Christians to be doing yoga? Like with many traditions that we practice today, the answer becomes much clearer and simple if we just educate ourselves on the background and history of things. So we should obviously take a look at what yoga is.

This morning I saw an article from CNN written about Gilbert Baker, the man famed for designing and creating the gay pride symbol - the Rainbow Flag. It was titled, “Rainbow flag maker inspired by the Bible, U.S. flag”. In the article, it expressed Mr. Baker’s happiness on the latest Supreme Court decision on gay rights, his struggle he had while he fought for gay rights in the 70’s when he made the flag, and how making the flag was the most important thing he’d ever done. It also discussed that the flag was inspired by the Bible and how no one should be able to argue against it because it was inspired from the Bible. His words exactly were:

Why aren’t more Christians talking about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ? In a period of time that has so much visible evidence, an overwhelming majority of Christians do not discuss it at all. Many do not even tie current world events and figures to anything biblically prophetic. They don’t put it in their overall world perspective and future that the world will be very different when Jesus comes back again.

In his first epistle to the Thessalonians, in Chapter 5 verse 20 the Apostle Paul tells us not to despise prophecies. Prophecies are guidance from God into the future. He tells us what to expect so that the times do not overtake us and we are prepared for them. He gives us our future history so that we are able to identify the times. His prophecy also shows us how powerful He is, by describing events thousands of years before they are to come.

They very often are things that break up the monotony of life and bring us happiness.

doesn’t take a deep argument for most people to agree that the black community in America has been oppressed since the foundations of this country were laid. As this nation grew and gathered it’s independence, it gained it’s strength with thanks in great part to the blood & sweat of free labor. This free labor of course being slavery. The oppression of a complete race for over 400 years with mass genocide and unspeakable cruelty. The oppressors enslaved people taking them

The acceptance of homosexuality is a high thought that has grown in size in influence over a very short period. Homosexuality has been embraced by the masses of today. Not that people just agree with it, but that people choose to ignore it and have no opinion about it at all. Churches believe that they are not to judge or have an opinion about it. Even though the Word of God explicitly speaks against it, Christians aren’t able to decipher.
