The Return of the Savior

Steve Durkac Posted on July 1, 2021 by Steve DurkacJuly 1, 2021

In our study through the Gospel of Matthew we have started to see a transition in Jesus’ conversation with His disciples to openly include His approaching expected death. Matthew makes this comment in the 16th chapter, “From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he … Continue reading →

The End is Near

Steve Durkac Posted on October 15, 2019 by Steve DurkacOctober 15, 2019

The marque sign outside of the United Methodist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama read: The End is Near!! Just Kidding We Don’t Know. That signed humored me because in my understanding of Christianity, the only way a church would not know that the end is near is if it does not open, read, or teach the Bible. The theme of the end as near is a very prominent one in the Bible, especially the New Testament, … Continue reading →

Titus 2:13 says that believers are “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” We ought to be looking more for that appearing and less at the difficulties that often assail us. Years ago I saw a little plaque on a desk that said something like this: “Every difficulty is … Continue reading →

Common Ground on Pre-Trib vs Post-Trib

Steve Durkac Posted on April 8, 2019 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

In recent months voices have been raised in American Christendom criticizing the pre-trib position regarding our Lord’s return. (Perhaps church leaders are finally getting tired of arguing about Calvinism.) If you ask me if I am pre-trib or post-trib, I will answer “pre-trib” because I am looking for my Lord to return soon so I can meet Him in the air. If you think differently, this article is not about arguing my position or trying … Continue reading →
