Eschatology Matters

The nations rage. Governments rise and fall. Wars, political turmoil, and uncertainty dominate the headlines. But who is really in control?In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing concludes his three-part series on Christology by examining a foundational biblical truth: Jesus Christ is reigning over the nations RIGHT NOW.Through Psalm 2, Psalm 110, Daniel 7, 1 Corinthians 15, and Revelation 19, Cory demonstrates that Jesus is not merely our Savior or a future King. He is the reigning King of Kings, exercising sovereign authority over all creation.What does Christ's present reign mean for the Church, the nations, and our confidence in an uncertain world?The nations may rage, but Christ's Kingdom cannot be shaken. His victory is certain.FAITH OF OUR FATHERS CONFERENCE — APRIL 22–24, 2027Join EM Network in Jacksonville, Florida, for Faith of Our Fathers: Recovering the Historic Christian Life.

Can Christians Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils?With the 2026 midterm elections just one day away, Christians face a difficult question: Can you vote for a candidate whose beliefs and actions contradict your biblical convictions?In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird confront the moral dilemma of voting for the "lesser of two evils." Is voting for an imperfect candidate a compromise of Christian principles, or can it be a legitimate way to pursue justice, restrain evil, and love our neighbors?Drawing from Scripture, including Romans 13, Josh and James examine the Christian's responsibility in the political sphere and challenge believers to think biblically rather than emotionally about elections.Topics include:Is voting a Christian duty?Does voting for a candidate mean endorsing their sins?Is choosing the lesser of two evils morally defensible?What about third-party candidates or refusing to vote?Can Christians pursue political good without compromising biblical convictions?Why is political accelerationism a dangerous approach?The question isn't whether a candidate is perfect. It's whether Christians can make imperfect political choices while remaining faithful to Christ.Join Josh and James for a timely discussion on Christian conscience, political responsibility, and the biblical principles that should guide our decisions at the ballot box.---FAITH OF OUR FATHERS — APRIL 22–24, 2027Join the Eschatology Matters Network in Jacksonville, Florida, for Faith of Our Fathers: Recovering the Historic Christian Life.Featuring Michael Foster, Matthew Everhard, Keith Foskey, Josh Howard, Alex Kocman, and George Sayour.Location: Sovereign Grace Family Church, Jacksonville, FL.Subscribe to Eschatology Matters for biblical teaching on theology, culture, church and state, and the victorious advance of Christ's Kingdom. #ChristianPolitics #LesserOfTwoEvils #TheMagistrateWatch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

Do all religions lead to God, or is Jesus Christ truly the only way to salvation?In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing tackles one of Christianity's most controversial and essential claims: salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. Drawing from John 14:6, Acts 4:12, 1 Timothy 2:5, and other key passages, Cory explains why Christianity cannot simply be one of many equally valid paths to God.He explores the fundamental differences between Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religious beliefs while demonstrating why Jesus is uniquely qualified to save sinners as the fully divine and fully human mediator between God and man. But the exclusivity of Christ is not a message of superiority or intolerance.The gospel offers salvation to people from every tribe, tongue, and nation. This episode challenges Christians to stand firmly on biblical truth while showing genuine love, humility, and compassion toward those who believe differently.Upcoming Event: Join Cory Wing and other EM Network hosts at the 2027 Eschatology Matters Conference, Faith of Our Fathers: Recovering the Historic Christian Life, April 22–24, 2027, in Jacksonville, Florida.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

What does King David's most humiliating moment reveal about Jesus Christ?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explores the remarkable parallels between David's betrayal by his son Absalom and the humiliation, suffering, and ultimate victory of Jesus Christ.Drawing from 2 Samuel 15–19 and the New Testament, George examines how David's rejection by his people, betrayal by a trusted adviser, journey across the Brook Kidron and Mount of Olives, and willingness to endure mockery and suffering all foreshadow Christ's path to the cross.But the most powerful connection comes when David cries out that he wishes he could have died in Absalom's place.While David could not save his rebellious son, Jesus Christ willingly gave His life to redeem rebellious sinners.This episode reveals how the Old Testament points us to the greater Son of David, the King who suffered, conquered, and offers forgiveness to all who repent and believe. Upcoming Event: Join the EM Network for the 2027 Eschatology Matters Conference, Faith of Our Fathers: Recovering the Historic Christian Life, April 22–24, 2027, in Jacksonville, Florida.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

How should Christians think about immigration, border enforcement, and the plight of persecuted Christian refugees?In this episode of The Worldview, Alex Kocman examines rising ICE deportations, declining asylum claims in Europe, and reports that the United States is on track to resettle virtually no Christian refugees from the world's most dangerous countries for believers.Drawing from Acts 17, Deuteronomy, Genesis, Ruth, Galatians 6, and the Great Commission, Alex explores how Scripture presents migration as both judgment and mercy.He challenges Christians to recognize the legitimate authority of nations to enforce borders while refusing to ignore their biblical responsibility to show compassion, practice hospitality, and care for persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ.From the Tower of Babel to Pentecost, this episode reminds believers that God's providence extends over the movement of nations—and that immigration debates must never distract the church from its mission to reach the lost with the gospel.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<

Did early American Presbyterians believe Christians should only vote for other Christians?In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird explore a fascinating and often overlooked chapter of American history involving President Andrew Jackson, Presbyterian political activism, and the battle over Christianity's role in government.Drawing from James's doctoral research, they examine the influence of Presbyterian minister Ezra Stiles Ely, his call for Christian voters to organize politically, and the controversy surrounding the American Sunday School Union.They also unpack the infamous Petticoat Affair, Jackson's explosive conflict with religious leaders, and the accusations that Presbyterians were attempting to control American politics through the church.This entertaining historical discussion raises important questions about Christian political engagement, voting, religious influence, and the proper relationship between church and state.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >Here<For blog entries, articles, and much more, visit our website >Here<
