Calvary Chapel San Antonio

Heads up: this chapter is seen by many as the single most difficult to interpret in the entire book of Revelation. I'll do my best to make sense of it but we do need to get comfortable not knowing everything we'd like to know...

Your life can turn from despair to hope...Jesus will—if you let Him—wipe away your tears!  Your past can be wiped away with your tears. Jesus is available…

I really believe that God is giving us warnings, small examples of these judgements so we will be prepared! ...God is warning us much as He warned Pharaoh during Moses' time! Will you be like Pharaoh was-with ever-hardening heart or will you listen to the word of the Lord while He is still in the business of grace?

As was the case with Heman, there is a lot of trouble in this psalm. How we approach God during times of trouble is critical. Ethan reminds me here of Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail. Not denying things are bad—no name it and claim it here. But focusing on God—who He is and how faithful He has been.

In the time we live in, we don't even know what war is any more.  We face chemical warfare, terrorist attacks—we face threats we don't even understand!  Things  are not getting better…Truly we live in the time the Bible predicted when good is called evil and evil is called good…

This is an exhortation to us to never give up, never stop praying no matter how bad things seem or how silent God seems to be…

God loves you!  He is crazy about you!  And until you receive His love, your life will always be lacking.  Please believe it…Is He mad the way we get mad at people who disappoint us?  The answer is no; He is heart-broken! ...God misses us way more than we miss Him.  He is angry at sin but always willing to receive you to Himself…

Is Jesus really worthy of worship? Can He really rescue us? The answers are resounding - YES, He can! Here's why...

For 10 years, David could not properly worship God. How he must have longed to be in God's presence, to make sacrifice offerings to His God...loving God's house prepares you for the things of this world...
