Building the temple of my heart “Then I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there. But leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the Gentiles. And they will tread the holy city underfoot for forty-two months. And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed

Facing the coming destruction Before I go into this chapter, I like to remember that though these things will happen and nothing I can do will stop them, the Lord has been gracious enough to warn us of what is coming. As believers, we need to heed these warnings. It can be a bit of a downer chapter as we read of the destruction that will happen on the earth but we are not to focus on the destruction. I am reminded that we are supposed to be thinking on love, joy, peace, goodn

If my pastor were to teach something unbiblical, how would I know? The book of 2 Peter teaches the 4 D’s of a false teacher. Destruction, Doom, Depravity, and Deception.

Sometimes fear can be so overwhelming, that we forget the promises #God has made us and the hope we have in Him. In “times of trouble,” He is there beside us, keeping watch like a good shepherd. We are never left alone in good times or bad. Though we may not always feel his presence, we can rest in the promise that he will never leave us or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5) That verse goes on to say that “the Lord is my helper, I will not fear. What can man do to me?“ This post may
