01/27/2001
The Greatest Truth of All
In an astounding twist, the greatest time prophecy in all the Bible has been sadly disassembled and reformed into a strange amalgamation that has swept through the Christian world. Revisit another shining truth that Left Behind left behind.
02/03/2001
The Most Clarifying Truth of All
Dispensationalism promotes a belief in a literal fulfillment of literal Israel in end time prophecy. Discovering the conditional nature of God's prophecies protects us from this deception. How are the prophecies about Israel to be understood in the New Testament era?
02/17/2001
The Most Dangerous Truth of All
Is the Anti-Christ some tyrant/dictator as the Left Behind series portrays? Or is it a religious-political institution that is alive and well right now and gaining in its power to rule the world? Examine the evidence.

Pioneer Operating Budget

Birthdays were always a special and happy occasion in our home. When it is one of the sibling’s birthdays, we give all our kids gifts to enjoy, not just the celebrant. But when it was our birthday, our children would draw pictures and color them expressing their creativity and love for us. They didn’t have the money to purchase gifts or nice Hallmark cards. Yet when they presented them to us, we cherished those handmade cards more than all the commercial cards produced by Hallmark. Why? Because they were our children’s expression of love from the heart.

It’s hard not to express this love without giving a gift. Likewise, every offering gift should be measured by the unfathomable Gift of heaven. The greatest offering one could make would then appear as nothing in comparison. “How vain the endeavor to measure with mathematical rules, time, money, and love against a love and sacrifice that is measureless and incomputable!" (Testimonies for the Church, Vol.4, p.119). If we can catch a glimpse of just how much God loves us, we would faint. All self-interest and selfish motives will disappear, we will be lost in awe and wonder. It would spur us to shower our Lord with more gifts and with praise and thanksgiving.
