When Patience Ends

We are living in the silence of God's patience. The Lord who stands outside of time has fixed a day for Jesus's return into time. It is appointed; settled; immovable. Christ is reigning now, and He is not waiting on world events or human progress. He is gathering every one of His sheep. Not one will be missing--not one overlooked. When the very last elect sinner is brought to repentance, when the final heart is broking and the final name written in the Lamb's Book of Life believes, that will be it. God's patience will have accomplished its purpose. Then suddenly and decisively, the Day of the Lord will come. The heavens will roar; the fire will fall; the silence will end. Do not mistake delay for safety. The only reason judgment has not already come is because mercy is still at work. But when mercy has gathered the last of Christ's own, patience will give way to glory and judgment, at once. Therefore, be sure you are in Christ, because when the last sheep comes home, the door will be shut.

The Lord Knows: Judgment for False Teachers and Rescue for the Righteous

Closing Thought: The Lord knows. He knows how to rescue the righteous, and He knows how to judge false teachers whose end is destruction. Therefore we must be alert and discerning, recognizing false teachers by their fruit, rejecting their false teaching, and avoiding their influence rather than following them into eternal ruin. And because we trust that God will save His people, we will give careful attention to the Word of God, the Scriptures, the Bible, the faith once delivered to all the saints.

Destructive Deception from Within

Closing Thought: There is nothing new under the sun. False prophets and false teachers have always been among God's people from the false prophets of the Old Testament, to the Pharisees in Jesus' day, to the Judaizers of the first century, to false teachers today. Their end is destruction. We must know the truth, lest we follow their lies straight to hell.

The Centrality and Power of the Gospel in Abolishing Abortion

This message was presented during the 2026 annual End Abortion Iowa conference. While the law can restrain it cannot raise the dead. Only the gospel of Jesus Christ can do both.

The Majesty of Christ Confirmed by Witnesses

Closing Thought: The majesty of Christ, once revealed and confirmed by eyewitnesses, is now permanently secured for us, beloved, in the Spirit-inspired Scriptures, which point us to Him and comfort us until His return in power and great glory.
