Understanding Eschatology and the Different Doctrinal Models (Study Notes)

Understanding Eschatology and the Different Doctrinal Models

Agape Faith Care Group, Kledang Community Chapel  |  March 2018

These are study notes that were prepared for use by our Care Group at the church I am attending now. They deal specifically with the myriad models that concern Eschatology. Seeing that these models can be very confusing to many, I thought it would be useful for summarise them in a more orderly manner so that it is easier to see what their distinctions are, where their supporters find 'support' in the Bible and also where Scripture challenges their validity as well. 

There is nowhere in the Bible that asserts the superiority and unquestioned authority of one model over the rest. We just don't know what the Lord has in store although we can use Scripture to find some form of assurance or certainty but always be careful that ultimately, God has not said anything about the time when everything will come to an end, let alone which of these many models actually work. And so in the end, we must practise the courtesy of 'Agree to Disagree' about fellow Christians and treat it as a spiritually healthy exercise and not much more than that. In a nutshell, the biggest question when it comes to the End Times - as unpredictable as it is - is whether or not we are all prepared for it because we just don't know when it will come.

Feel free to make these notes available for your church or your care/cell group but kindly provide attribution. Thanks. 

Politics and the Role of the Gospel

The Gospel matters. Even in politics.

For us Christians, no political elections are ever about the Gospel. While our brothers in America have long endorsed the separation of church and state, secularisation in Malaysia is simply a clear line made blur as much by confusion as it is by political design.

Chilean Miner Story - The Real Story God Wants Told

As the world moves on, a long-forgotten part of the Chilean miners’ story is the one that should have been told

It’s 2014, four years after the near-catastrophic mining accident in Copiapó, Chile. Four years is a long time. Not much of the world remembers it today other than the fact that thirty-three miners walked out alive to the jubilation of not just the country but the whole world.
