The COVID pandemic highlighted the need for Christians to exercise critical thinking and discernment in the face of deception and lies. Christians must be prepared to question authority and challenge false narratives, even when they come from trusted sources.

In the context of the COVID pandemic, Christians were faced with conflicting information and conflicting narratives, and they must be equipped to navigate these complexities and to make informed decisions. The Bible teaches that Christians are to be discerning and to test all things, and that they are to be guided by the truth of Scripture. [... more]

He will be empowered by Satan and will have the ability to perform miraculous signs. The false prophet will be a religious figure who will preside over an apostate church and will have the ability to perform great signs, including making fire come down from heaven.

By studying and applying the edict of the king, as outlined in Ecclesiastes 8:11, individuals can grow in truth and fulfill their work against evil. [... more]

As we age, we may feel like we're no longer able to contribute to God's work, but Daniel's story shows us that faithfulness, fearfulness, and frailty are not barriers to serving God.
