The Judgments of the Tribulation (and Why It Matters to Christians)

by Alane Tentoni All of my life, I have had a curiosity about end-time events, but never pursued the matter because it was so confusing. Pre-trib, post-trib, pre-millennium or post-millennium, the seal judgments, the trumpet judgments... the list goes on. Finally, I found some excellent books on the subject, and as it turns out, the sequence of events following the rapture is not really so difficult to follow. Many people are curious about prophecy and end-time related events; however, most never thoroughly pursue the subject to achieve a basic understanding. Pre-trib, post-trib, pre-millennium or post-millennium, the seal judgments, the trumpet judgments... the list is daunting. Through some minimal effort though, it becomes apparent that there is organization to the sequence of events following the rapture. Not only is it easier than I thought, it is also vital. End-time events are happening everyday. We know the time is short, but we don't know how short. It is very likely ...

The Television Set: The World in Your Home

NOTE: Here (below) is a tract from the Gospel Tract and Bible Society [in Mountridge, Kansas] that I found in a motel lobby [now demolished] back in 1/03 when I was walking with my sister on a mostly cloudy day [job hunting] and was suffering from a kidney infection. The first (half) scripture is from the tract itself, but the rest I added in for good measure b/c I felt they were equally relevant. Without further ado, eat your heart out. *~*~*~*~*~*~* 1 John 2:14-15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. James 4:4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 1 Peter 1:14 As obedient chi...

The Television Set: The World in Your Home (Introductory Commentary)

NOTE: It was not to long ago that I got this idea to post the following tract here b/c I think it's pretty relevant. Although brief it does a pretty good job of summarising/summarizing what the Almighty TV (television) is doing to our society today. Considering all that's going on... in addition to what I've seen it makes me afraid of bringing a child into this world. It is NOT b/c it's a big responsibility raising a child [for that the LEAST of my worries, for it's been that way since the beginning of humanity and having big responsibilities is a part of life, so no complaints there]; it's getting to be a terrible, sin-cursed world that we live in and it's getting worse as the days go by. The Devil/Satan [which means 'enemy', 'adversary', 'accuser', 'slanderer', etc.] knows his time is short [for we've got more time behind us than ahead of us in this age of human rule] so he's working as hard as he can to destroy a...
