The 12-minute video of this post is by Pastor Michael Grant. Therein, he explained the coming one-world government, religion and economic system.

[Since even the most prominent theologians of the church, past and present, disagree widely on the subject of ‘end times,’ it is difficult to draw conclusions about that period of time. However, as a Bible student, I believe that Pastor Grant’s points are valuable to understanding any of the major views.]

Pastor Sinclair Ferguson began a new podcast titled, Things Unseen in 2024. Each episode is 4-6 minutes in length. This post contains the episode of 1-19-24 and a link to the other 14 messages he has thus far aired. I got my post of yesterday, John Newton’s hymn, via a reference he made to search the hymn. Ferguson’s most recent several podcasts have been about character types of Christians that Newton identified in a little book he wrote. Each character flaw will remind you of Christians you are in the midst of, perhaps, yourself. Ferguson’s purpose seems to help Christians identify their own flaws for future prayer….
