Turning Our Disappointments Into God’s Appointments

August 30 2010 by D.E. Parkerson

Deep down in nearly every life there are disappointments of one kind or another. If you have not ever had a huge disappointment, the time will come when it will happen. No one is immune to disappointments — literally no one. Even the most successful among us have dreams that are never realized, and things for which we hope that never come true. What do you do when you are confronted with...

Do You Need Plastic Surgery?

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ to earth is one of the cardinal teachings of the Bible. Of the 260 chapters of the New Testament, 216 of them make reference to His coming again. One of every 30 verses, 23 of the 27 New Testament books, and all nine authors herald Christ’s return. Fifty times in his 13 epistles, Paul spoke of this grand climax of history.
