We need not attend seminary, nor have a diploma in theology hanging on our study wall. Peter and John had none of these things but instead had calloused hands and smelt of fish.
Every mob needs an enemy. It seems like the group of “love and tolerance” has nothing but intolerance for people of faith, and the object of their hate is Christians.
When Jesus asked this question two thousand years ago, He was alerting His followers about the prevailing spiritual condition of people on earth at the time of His return. Jesus knew the answer: the close of the age would be marked by a mass defection from the truth.
We are witnessing a growing number of spiritual movements in our time that are masquerading as authentic revivals, but seem to originate from a different spirit.
