When Christ returns, all of His followers, living or deceased, will be caught up from earth and taken to heaven! What a Great Day it will be!

In this special interview, Dr. Jeremiah and Shelia Walsh discuss the Rapture – the glorious return of Christ for His Church.

As we prepare to celebrate Easter, think about what it would have been like to witness that first Easter—arriving at the empty tomb, encountering the risen Savior. Dr. David Jeremiah takes us back to that resurrection morning, offering evidence that ought to satisfy even the most hardened skeptic.

Life is full of setbacks, disappointments, and hard work. Many people no longer know how to keep going without faltering, and a lot of folks take the path of least resistance, But when the power of God gives us everything we need for a godly life, we have the capacity to develop perseverance. It's one of Peter's eight core character qualities, listed in 2 Peter 1:3-8. Perseverance requires trusting God, but it yields maturity. There are important steps we can take as we develop perseverance, but the entire process depends on keeping our eyes on Jesus.

In Peter's list of qualities we are to cultivate, he tells us to add self-control into the mixture of our life (2 Peter 1:6). A person without self-control is like a city without walls; the enemy can burst in and plunder at will. But someone who is under the Spirit's control is also learning self-control, for the Holy Spirit wants to impart personal discipline to all our other traits. This deserves priority; it displays maturity; it deepens our disciplines; and it's available to those who develop a meaningful strategy for putting this virtue into place.
