Haynes Jr. https://www.crosswalk.com/author/clarence-l-haynes-jr/ If you've been praying for any length of time, then you have probably experienced prayers that didn't turn out the way you asked. While it's important to remember that God is not a genie granting our every request, the faithful Christian may wonder if some prayers are left on hold, or does God answer every one (just not in the way we expect)?

They like to do their own thing with no shepherd or farmer guiding them. All the goats my family had wore collars with bells on them, so we knew where they were. They liked being free to do their own thing. Herding them was close to impossible. So are these characteristics similar to Satan?  Fri, 01 May 2026 14:53:00 -0400 2026-05-25T20:07:04-04:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/church/pastors-or-leadership/christianity-questions-answers/why-was-jobs-wife-left-alive.html https://www.crosswalk.com/church/pastors-or-leadership/christianity-questions-answers/why-was-jobs-wife-left-alive.html Mike Leake https://www.crosswalk.com/author/mike-leake/ Why was Job’s wife left alive when so much else was taken from him?

As believers notice many powerful and evil leaders in different nations today, they seek more information about the Antichrist. Often, they try to match a modern figure with that evil figure.The Bible speaks about the end of this earth, and Jesus tells us what to look for. At the same time, Christ teaches us that we won’t know the exact day or hour. The end will come upon us like a surprise, even for believers. Jesus’ point is simple and clear. Be ready. Learn to live right and watchful.With that motivation in mind, let’s examine what the Bible says about the Antichrist. Here are seven things to know about what the Antichrist will look like.Photo Credit: image created and edited using AI Tue, 14 Apr 2026 09:36:00 -0400 2026-05-25T20:07:04-04:00
