How can I know that I’m saved?
By the book! Getting saved is easy. It is simply a matter of believing what Jesus Christ said and believing what he has done for you. When Christ came to the earth, he led a perfect, sinless life. Then, he died on the cross and resurrected from the dead. His death and burial satisfied God’s […]
Assurance of Salvation
Can I be sure that I will go to heaven? Truthfully there are only two answers to the question. The question is answered either “YES” or “NO“. You either know for sure or you don’t. Now, how are you going to answer the question? Do you know for sure? This question concerns the assurance of […]
Is sorrow necessary for true repentance?
No. This question came from a fellow whose pastor insists that sorrow is absolutely necessary for salvation, and uses 2 Corinthians 7:10 to back this up. We answered with the following: 2 Cor 7:10 needs to be read in its context. The verse is addressed to the church. They are the ones who repented here […]
What would be a good way to witness to co-workers at work?
Pray for an opening to tell them about Jesus and then tell them. Here’s the rest of our listener’s question. “I just started a new job. I’ve heard some say to ‘just live it’ before them, and some say you need to open your mouth and say something. Sometimes in the past I would say something but […]
The Little Book Rev. 10:1-11
The Little Book This chapter is a parenthetical, in that it falls within the time element of the trumpets, perhaps the last two trumpets. The angel in this chapter is not the seventh angel that sounds the seventh trumpet. That trumpet doesn’t sound until Revelation 11:15. What follows is a verse by verse outline of […]

The Seventh Seal (and First Four Trumpets) Rev. 8:1-13
The Seventh Seal – 1-5 1 – The seal opens and there’s ½ hour of silence in heaven – the sounds in heaven up to this point are found in Revelation 4:8, 11; 5:8-12; 7:10-12 and all refer to worship of the Lord – so all of this stops suddenly 2 – 7 trumpets are […]
What do you think about death bed conversions?
Many are real. This question came from one of our faithful internet listeners. He had a relative who supposedly had gotten saved right before she died. However, because we have taught against leading people to the Lord too quickly, he was concerned whether she had really gotten saved. The truth is that people do get […]
Tribulation Saints Rev. 7:9-17
Tribulation Saints The church age saints appeared in heaven in Revelation 5. These saints that appear in Revelation 7 are tribulation saints according to verse 14. Church age saints are raptured in 1 Corinthians 15:50-55 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Tribulation saints are raptured in Matthew 24:31 and Revelation 11:12. These raptures are not the same. […]
