In this eighth part of the series "Eschatology 101," we examine the second and fifth trumpets of Revelation 8 and 9 in more detail, and discuss the importance of having a Biblically-informed understanding of Revelation, as opposed to the kind of "newspaper exegesis" that is often done in popular studies of eschatology.
There are a lot of "sevens" in the book of Revelation, and this is the seventh episode in this series on Biblical eschatology! In this episode we look at the 144,000 and the "great multitude" in Revelation 7, and give a quick overview of chapter 8.

In Revelation 1:1, we're told that the revelation of Jesus Christ was given "to show to his servants the things that must soon take place." In this episode, we look at the time indicators in the book of Revelation, and ask the question: Does "soon" mean "soon"?
This is the second part of a series on eschatology, the Biblical doctrine of the last things.

In July I was invited to give a presentation to a mission congregation in Brazil on what the church needs to learn from the Covid experience. Today's episode is the English-language version of that presentation. Why do we need to discuss this issue, and not just "put it behind us" for the sake of keeping the peace? This is the question I'm discussing this week.

In today’s episode, we’ll consider Judith Butler’s 1990 book, Gender Trouble, and try to decipher what she says about gender, sex, and sexuality.

Canadian schools are being forced to show “Pride” this month, at the risk of running afoul of Human Rights Commissions and Ministers of Education. In today’s episode, we consider the nature of “Pride” Month, and look at what God’s Word has to say to a culture whose “Pride” is debased and totalitarian in nature.
