Saturday’s Revelations on Revelation: Timeline of the Book of Revelation

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

OG Note: My eschatology is pre-tribulation, pre-millennial — which means I believe in a 1,000-year millennial reign of Christ on earth, a seven-year period of tribulation before the millennium, and the rapture before this tribulation. I love everyone who disagrees with me, and I firmly believe we’ll all be surprised by some end-time events we

A Shocking Statement from Jesus

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you (John 16:7, ESV). Let’s imagine that you’ve followed Jesus for years, having been given a personal

The Scoop About First Century Restrooms

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

A few years ago, I was leading a touring group in Israel, visiting Caesarea Maritima, an ancient city built by Herod the Great about 15 B.C. This amazing city contained a stone shipping port built out into the Mediterranean Sea, an amphitheater that could hold 4,000 people, and Herod’s palace built out into the Sea

Invisible Toxins: Microplastics and Unforgiveness

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

It’s in the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. Microplastics — tiny, invisible fragments of degraded plastic — are silently accumulating in our bodies. At least that’s what I’ve been reading. Uh, oh. The human body cannot metabolize these synthetic invaders, and they lodge in our tissues and bloodstream.

A Healthy Lifestyle Includes Attending Church

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near (Hebrews 10:25, ESV). Years ago, a businessman told me he didn’t attend church anymore. As the pastor of a church, I immediately asked why, and he said, “I can worship God

Saturday’s Revelations on Revelation #27: The Rapture

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

I’ve watched too many 30-second reels on Biblical eschatology making the point that the word “rapture” isn’t mentioned in the Bible. This is both true and false. Let’s read 1 Thessalonians 4:17… Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,

The Five Essentials of Spiritual Gifts

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed (1 Corinthians 12:1, ESV). The Greek word translated as “uninformed” can also be translated “not know” and even “misunderstand.” We all seek to better understand and release our spiritual gifts. With some gifts (speaking in tongues) more controversial than others (encouragement), are we informed, knowing, and

Falling Asleep During the Sermon

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you (Ephesians 5:14b, ESV). As a preaching pastor of 50 years, with almost 2,000 sermons under my Ephesians 6:14 belt of truth, I developed the conviction that sleeping in church is one of the three great sins of the faith, alongside blasphemy and not

Snatching Faith

Leave a Comment / Interruptions / Grant Edwards

I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20b, ESV, emphasis added). The primary Greek word in the New Testament for faith is “pistis” or “pistos,” both used about 300 times from Matthew to the Book of Revelation. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
