End TimesAfter Death I.D.—Will I Still Be Me?
By Ronald Nash Most Christians are convinced that people will know each other in heaven. This belief brings great comfort to believers as they watch loved ones pass on. But as popular as this belief may be, many Christians would be hard-pressed to produce much support for it. Fulfilled Prophecy: Evidence for the Reliability of the Bible
by Hugh Ross, Ph.D. Unique among all books ever written, the Bible accurately foretells specific events-in detail-many years, sometimes centuries, before they occur. Approximately 2500 prophecies appear in the pages of the Bible, about 2000 of which already have been fulfilled to the letter—no errors. (The remaining 500 or so reach into the future and may be seen unfolding as days go by.) The Dark and Bright Sides of Cosmology
10/1/2007 Astrophysics has its ironies. Here’s one: Studies of the brightest galaxies in the universe led to the discovery that 99 percent of all matter is "dark matter".1 But matter is only part of the universe (about a fourth). The rest is energy. Adding irony to irony, research focusing on the brightest stars in the universe shows that "dark energy" is far more abundant than dark matter, making up most of the rest of the universe. Despite its often negative connotation, this "darkness" is not a bad thing. The Physics of Sin
1/1/2002 "What difference does it make? As long as I'm not hurting anyone else, I should be able to live with my girlfriend." "I never loved my wife. Don't I deserve to be happy?" "I needed that money more than he did, so it's okay that I took it. Besides, he owes me for the time when…" Thinking About 'Future Things,' Part 1 (of 12)
“What will happen to me when I die?” “Are we living in what the Bible refers to as the ‘last days’?” “What does Bible prophecy say about the end of the world?” Christians today seem just as interested in future prophetic events as at any time in church history—maybe even more so. Today, books on Bible prophecy are runaway bestsellers and the topic of the “last days” is a constant preoccupation of Christian television programming.

In part 8 of this series I explored the historic Christian eschatological principle known as "already, but not yet." This enigmatic expression... Thinking About 'Future Things,' Part 3 (of 12)
Some people think that because Christendom has some sharp differences when it comes to certain doctrinal matters this is a sign that Christianity cannot be true. It’s just too divided. Yet the truth of the matter is that while historic Christians of various theological stripes have important differences, they also share significant common doctrinal ground on essential beliefs. To the casual observer, the differences among denominations seem dominant Thinking About 'Future Things,' Part 4 (of 12)
Historic Christianity is unique among the religions of the world for its explicit emphasis upon both the origin and destiny of humanity. The Christian faith has much to say about important past events, but it also projects forward concerning critical future things. Thinking About 'Future Things,' Part 5 (of 12)
The Christian world-and-life view speaks about both the past and the future–addressing humankind’s origin and destiny. In part four of this series I began a discussion of the major areas of difference among Christians when it comes to the controversial areas of eschatology (study of “last things”).

Someone once asked me, “A friend and I were just discussing different theories on the end times. I was wondering if you had any opinion on what kind of role America has played in God’s plan for the world.” Thinking About 'Future Things,' Part 7 (of 12)
How can a Christian think about eschatology (the study of “last things”) in a careful and intellectually responsible manner? Let me offer three suggestions for believers to carefully consider when approaching the controversial theological topic of the “end times.” Thinking About 'Future Things,' Part 8 (of 12)
"Already, but not yet." This brief and enigmatic statement reflects the thinking of historic Christians when it comes to eschatology (the study or doctrine of "last things"). It means that Christ's kingdom has already been inaugurated (accomplished at his first coming), but not yet consummated (which will only take place at his glorious second coming). Why the Universe Is the Way It Is
1/1/2006 In the best-selling science book of all time, author Stephen Hawking explains that no human is content until he or she has complete answers to the following questions: "What is the nature of the universe? What is our place in it and where did it and we come from? Why is it the way it is?" End TimesEnd Times |
