Summary: The prophecies of Daniel rip away the curtains of world history and let you see what's happening behind the scenes.

Verse: “And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.” —Daniel 8:23-25Original Post:
The Dark Chapters of Christian History

Source: A Better Way to Live
Summary: For hundreds of years, people have done some horrible things in the name of Christianity—from persecution to politics. What are we to make of the dark chapters of Christian history? Verse: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” —Matthew 7:21-23Original Post:

Summary: The Christian religion was founded on a real historical Resurrection. But over the last 40-50 years, there has been a tendency to downplay the Resurrection itself as a myth, in favor of the spiritual lessons that can be learned from it. But in this verse, Paul reminds the Corinthians that the Resurrection of Jesus was a real historical event, and offers proof to go along with it! Verse: “And that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.” —1 Corinthians 15:5-8Original Post:

Summary: God doesn't want us to be uninformed when it comes to how things are going to play out in the final moments of Earth's history. God's intention is that we know what's going on, and a careful reading of Bible prophecy can give us confidence amidst turmoil. Verse: “Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.” —Daniel 8:18-19Original Post:
Meditate on These Things

Source: A Better Way to Live
Summary: The Bible encourages us to fill our thoughts with the promises of God. Try to think of your long-term memory as an art gallery. With each passing day, your gallery develops a theme. Choose your artwork wisely, because the stuff you hang on the walls of our mind eventually becomes a key part of your character! Verse: “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” —Philippians 4:8Original Post:

Summary: Do you ever feel like Jesus is way out of your league—that you're grossly underqualified to be a friend of God's Son? In spite of it all, He loves us more than we can imagine, and He is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters! Verse: “I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.” —John 17:9-10Original Post:
