Keep About Your Work

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 22, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 22, 2021

by H.M.S. Richards The Lord has given to every man his work. It is his business to do it and the devil’s business to hinder him if he can. So surely as God has given you a work to do, Satan will try to hinder you. He may present other things more promising, He may allure you by worldly prospects, … Continue reading →

Walter Veith and 2027

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 16, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 16, 2021

I somehow came across a social media post that linked to a rebuttal on behalf of Walter Veith of Amazing Discovery evangelistic ministries against accusations from Adventist Today, a news ministry service. I have been familiar with Walter Veith and his ministry, but less familiar with the work of Adventist Today. I can’t say that either draw any positive or … Continue reading →

After the Wedding and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 15, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 15, 2021

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NIV)* When we … Continue reading →

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 14, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 14, 2021

Here are just some of the reasons, other than an anniversary celebration, why couples choose to have a vow renewal ceremony… 1) to reaffirm marriage following a separation, 2) starting anew after troubling relationship times, 3) after the discovery of terminal illness, 4) couples who previously were married by a judge at a courthouse and want an ordained vocational church minister to officiate, 5) couples who have … Continue reading →

The Post-Trib Rapture: A Sequence of Events

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 11, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 11, 2021

Here is a 22-point sequence of events for an understanding of the post-tribulation rapture or the second coming of Christ… Jesus returns for His church as promised in John 14:1-3 and detailed in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. The saints who have died in Christ will be resurrected. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. This is the first resurrection mentioned by Jesus … Continue reading →

No Church in Revelation 4-21?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 10, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 10, 2021

It is often stated that since the church is not mentioned between Revelation 3:22 and Revelation 22:16, it is proof of a pre-tribulation rapture of the church. When ministers and prophecy teachers make mention of there being no church between Revelation 3:22 and Revelation 22:16, they mean that the Greek word “ekklēsia” is not used. In an earlier post titled … Continue reading →

Conflict Assessment Tool

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 7, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 7, 2021

I like assessment tools that are simple and not crazy complicated just to tell you something that you already know — marriage is going to have conflicts. I am a big believer in the 5 Love Languages, the 1 Corinthians 13 practices, and the assessment tool that I developed below, using the word FORGIVE as a guide to work through … Continue reading →

John 20:12 and The Easter Story

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on April 1, 2021 by Steve DurkacApril 1, 2021

This is Easter week and soon we will be together to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord together through fellowship and communion. Every year during this season I tend to think of a very minute portion of the Easter story that is usually insignificant to most retelling’s of the resurrection day. However, it speaks volumes to the glorious fact that … Continue reading →
