The Christian life is built on grace from beginning to end, but there are two things that can destroy it: posing and hypocrisy. These sins can lead to a lack of authenticity and purity, causing the church to become anemic and powerless. God uses finances as a revealer of where our hearts are, and when we prioritize materialism over God, we can expect judgment. The early church in Acts was bold, unified, and growing, but it was also filled with people who were genuinely living out their faith, not just pretending to be something they're not. [... more]

The Bible describes a war between two cities, Babylon and the New Jerusalem, with Babylon representing mankind united in opposition to God. The New Jerusalem is God's city, founded on love of God, even to the contempt of self. The Christian life requires endurance, delayed gratification, and a deep conviction that the things we can't see yet are real. The Antichrist and the false prophet use religion as a tool to control people, but God's wrath is against sin, not against love. The primary metaphor for the Antichrist and the false prophet is prostitution, representing humanity's unfaithfulness to God. Christians should live in Babylon, deeply integrated into life here, but distinct from her sins and her man-centered ways. [... more]
