Thoughts on Today's Verse....

Honoring God must come first in everything. We don't give him the last, the least, or the leftovers. He gave us his best, most precious, and most perfect of gifts — his Son Jesus and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gifts! How could we give him anything less than our best, our first, and our most precious — our firstfruits in everything!

My Prayer...

Gracious God and loving Father, thank you for every good and perfect gift you have lavished upon me. Please accept the offering of my heart, which I freely give to you. Soften it and make it gracious and generous. I commit to offer you and your work in the world my first and my best. In Jesus' name, I make this pledge in prayer. Amen.

Explaining the end times

What we can learn from the book of Revelation…

God is still in control As soon as a bouncing ball was hit toward Los Angeles Dodger shortstop Mookie Betts with only one out, a runner on first base, and the tying run on third base in the bottom of the 11th inning in Game 7 of the 2025 World Series, the game was as good as over. While fans of the Toronto Blue Jays and Dodgers held their breath in those few seconds, Betts—who knew exactly what to do from years of practice and experience—fielded the ball, ran to second base for a force out, then threw to first base to retire the batter for a double play to end the game. But for all practical purposes, the outcome was decided the instant the baseball left the bat and headed toward the reliable seasoned pro Betts. When we look at turmoil and trouble in the world around us, we sometimes figuratively hold our breath, wondering how it will all turn out. We may even ask where God is in all this mess. But the fact is, the outcome already is determined, says Stuart Briscoe. Our ever-reliable God is in control, He loves us, He has a plan for this world He created, and God wins in the end, Stuart says. In messages featured this week on Telling the Truth, Stuart Briscoe begins taking us through Revelation, the mysterious final book of the Bible that talks about the end of the world. Stuart explains how we should read the book, and how it can strengthen our faith today. Stuart's discussion of Revelation is timeless and stands out for its practical-yet-spiritual approach in an era when theories about the "end times" abound. It's the relevant kind of teaching Telling the Truth offers on our website, our app, on social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, and over the airwaves in the United Kingdom.
