Many readers have missed the blessing awaiting them in the book of Revelation because they have been intimidated by its numerical symbolism or overwhelmed by its awesome imagery.
They read of mysterious lampstands and sacred seals, worldwide earthquakes and trumpeting angels, monstrous beasts and miracle-working dragons — and quickly turn instead to the soothing poetry of the Psalms or the simple promises of the Beatitudes.
I hope you'll resist that urge and stay with me for what I believe is one of the most thrilling and fascinating books in all of Scripture. |

The peaceful, celebratory event included prayers, worship, and testimonies at City Hall. Organized by Rev.

A similar march is planned in Dublin on September 27. (Christian Daily) |

Every morning, we wake up and — BAM! — before we even brush our teeth, our phone lights up with chaos. Another crisis. Another take. Another headline we can't unsee.

Here's the lie we're living under: that more access equals more awareness, and that more awareness equals more peace. |
