Revelation 5: One Day Everyone will Worship the Lamb

In this great chapter John sees the most powerful imagery. A Lamb, bleeding, looking like it had been slain stands in the presence of God. But the Lamb looks strange, he has seven horns and seven eyes. He is all powerful and full of God's Spirit. He takes the last Will and Testament from the hand of the Almighty God. And at that moment every creature, every person, every angel, falls down in worship in front of the Lamb. Dear Christian, people can scoff at Jesus and make fun of us, but there will come a day when everyone will bow before Him. 

Baby Christians

New Christians, born again Christians need to be on milk. But what is the milk of the word of God? The author of Hebrews gives us six "milk" teachings that every Christian should be able to understand and teach someone else. 

What keeps us from growing spiritually?

To grow spiritually the Word of God needs to enter our Heads, move down into our Hearts and then move over to our Hands. Spiritual maturity happens when the Word of God collides with our actions and brings them into submission. But often, somewhere between the Head and the Hands the Word of God gets lost and we never mature. So what is the problem? The Heart!

Revelation 4: Is God still on the Throne?

John gets invited into the throne room of God. He is one of four very blessed Biblical characters to see God on His throne. But God is not alone in his throne room. There are four creatures and 24 elders there too...and what do they do? And what does it mean?

Laodicea: The Lukewarm Church

This was the church that Jesus was least impressed with. Yet this is the church Jesus promised the greatest reward to. This church represents American Christianity the best.

When Jesus Becomes Visible in your Life

Becoming a Christian is not just to be saved, to gain access to heaven. To be a Christian is to become like Christ. Before time began God decided that he will transform Christians into the image of His Son. So when a person claims to be a Christian, but still behaves like his old self, he has not been born again. 
The Apostle Peter gives us two ways to grow spiritually. Crave spiritual food and come into the light. Babies are hungry. A hungry baby is a healthy baby. So if someone is born again, they are spiritual babies and should be craving pure spiritual milk (the Word of Christ). Not only should they crave this food, but they should also come out of darkness, throw off the deeds of darkness and come into the light so Jesus can shine on them.
