Why You Need To Beware Of Counterfeit Christians

In 2 Timothy 3:1–5, Paul warned that the last days would be filled with difficult people who appear godly but lack true spiritual power. These counterfeit Christians wear a mask of devotion yet deny the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. In this Light on Life teaching, Emery Horvath exposes what it means to have “a form of godliness,” why it’s dangerous, and how genuine believers can stay real, rooted, and full of God’s power in an age of deception. Why You Need To Beware Of Counterfeit Christians, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

How to Overcome the Perilous Times Preceding the Rapture

How to Overcome the Perilous Times Preceding the Rapture

In the Bible’s own words, we are living in the “last of the last days”—a period Scripture says will be marked by fierce, grievous, perilous times (2 Tim. 3:1–5). The “last days” began at Pentecost (Acts 2), and as that timeline nears its finish, the Spirit urges us to pay close attention, gain skill, and understand what we’re seeing. These are difficult days not merely because of events, but because of how people will act—self-loving, truth-dodging, pleasure-first—yet believers are not called to panic; we’re called to overcome. Today, we’ll learn how to face mounting pressure without becoming what we resist—how to conquer evil with good, anchor our hope in Jesus, and walk in the fearless, gentle strength that marks Jesus’ followers as we await His appearing. How to Overcome the Perilous Times Preceding the Rapture all on this week’s Light on Life.

How God's War Trumpet Brings the End of the World

Nowhurch is a distinct and glorious event when believers—both the living and the resurrected dead—will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17). In this Light on Life podcast, we explore the meaning behind the “trumpet of God,” that mighty, earth-shaking sound announcing Christ’s call to His people. Scripture reveals that God’s trumpet has always signaled divine movement—whether gathering His people, breaking camp, or declaring war on evil. Understanding this heavenly trumpet reminds us to stay spiritually alive, ready, and filled with the vitality of God as we await the Lord’s coming.

The Judgment Seat of Christ: How to Be Ready

Every believer will one day stand before the blazing brilliance of Jesus at the Judgment Seat of Christ. It’s not a throne of condemnation but a place of evaluation—where motives, faithfulness, and the quality of our work for God are tested by fire. Paul tells us to “take care how we build” on the foundation already laid, which is Christ Himself. This is no time for autopilot spirituality or half-hearted service. What we build, how we build, and why we build will all be revealed. The question is not whether you’ll be there—it’s whether you’ll be ready. That’s why on this week’s episode we cover, “The Judgment Seat of Christ: How to Be Ready” all on this week’s Light on Life.

Built on the Powerful Rock: Jesus Is Our Cornerstone

Jesus is our cornerstone—the solid foundation on which everything lasting and true is built. In Matthew 21:42, Jesus points to Himself as “the stone the builders rejected” that God has made the cornerstone. What others dismissed, God exalted. What the world saw as weakness, God made strength. Every part of our faith, our hope, and our purpose rests on Him. Without the cornerstone, the structure collapses—but with Christ in His rightful place, everything holds together, steady and unshakable. In this week’s Light on Life podcast, we tackle the subject of how we are ‘Built on the Powerful Rock: Jesus as Our Cornerstone.’

Why Growth Is a God Thing You Should Engage

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Thirty-Six

Why Growth Is a God Thing You Should Engage

What is growing in God? What does it mean to grow in God? “The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 3 that God is our partner in growth. That means only one thing: growth is a God idea. Consider it like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. At first, it seems insignificant, but then it undergoes a remarkable transformation, reaching new heights! This change isn’t easy. The caterpillar struggles to break free within its cocoon. If someone intervened too soon, it wouldn’t develop the strength to fly. Our journey with God is similar; we might begin humbly, like a caterpillar, but through faith and patience, we can become vibrant beings, soaring on the wings of His purpose! When you connect with God, growth happens. It’s a wonderfully encouraging prospect for believers. Don’t you think? In today’s podcast, we’ll explore our growth in God, focusing on Why Growth Is a God Thing You Should Engage, all on this week’s Light On Life.”

What Is The Ultimate Sign Of Jesus Second Coming?

What are the signs of the Second Coming? National Geographic did a survey about the End of the World back in 2012. With tsunamis, earthquakes, and financial concerns dominating headline news, National Geographic asked what Americans’ thought about a potential “Doomsday scenario. More than 62 percent of Americans thought the world would experience a major catastrophe in the next 20 years. And nearly three out of every four people (71%) envision a major disaster in their lifetime as an act of God, not man. When the question was asked, ”Which of the following, if any, do you think might happen in the United States in the next 25 years? these were the responses: earthquakes (64%), hurricanes (63%) and terrorism (55%) are the most feared, followed by financial collapse (51%), significant blackout (37%), a pandemic (29%) and nuclear fallout (14%). It’s clear from these stats that the ‘End of the World’ is on people’s minds. In today’s podcast, we continue our series on ‘What the Bible says about the End of the World.’

How to Win and Escape Out of the Tribulation

Following the end of World War II, General Douglas MacArthur declared, “We’ve reached our final opportunity. Unless we create a better and fairer system now, Armageddon will be upon us. The core issue is theological, requiring a spiritual renewal and moral improvement… It must be a spiritual transformation to save humanity.” 1 The “bowl” judgments in Revelation, specifically the final one during the Tribulation, bring us to the subject of Armageddon. This week on “Light on Life,” we’ll explore “Who Makes It Out the Tribulation?” and more.

How to Live Satisfied and Gain Victory Over Strife

How to Live Satisfied and Gain Victory Over Strife

What does strife mean in the the Bible? For one, it is an ugly thing that should never be the hallmark of the way a Jesus follower lives. In a political world world gone crazy with conflict, the Word of God stands in bold contrast. Proverbs declares ‘it is the glory of a man to overlook an offense.’ There is an old legend that speaks of Hercules and his encounter with a strange animal on a narrow road. Hercules strikes the weird animal with his club and continues down the road. Soon the animal overtakes him, but now it’s three times as large as it was before. Hercules strikes it with speed and fury, but the more he clubs the beast, the larger it grows. Then Pallas, the Titan [the little g] god of war appears to Hercules and warns him to stop. “The monster’s name is Strife,” he said. “Let it alone and it will soon become shrink down to nothing.” This is valuable advice for those of Jesus followers who wish to engage in verbal eye for an eye conflict. Overlook the offense, only then does strife cease.1 We’re talking the negative impact of being a contentious person. How to Live Satisfied and Gain Victory Over Strife, that’s our focus today on this week’s Light on Life.

How to Crucify Carnality and Live a Happy Life

How to Crucify Carnality and Live a Happy Life

Carnality isn’t a comfortable topic for followers of Jesus, and it becomes even more challenging when we talk about “crucifying” it. Yet, crucifying our carnality is key to a truly happy life. The Bible lays out the keys to real life in Jesus, and who doesn’t want that kind of genuine happiness? The problem arises when there’s a mixture of affections. Many love Jesus, but also indulge in the sins of the world. This creates misery, and happiness evades them. Francis Chan said, “It’s like loving lemonade and Frappuccino and drinking from both instead of one or the other. It will make you sick. Loving the world and loving God will make you miserable.”1 Some things just don’t mix, like oil and water. While some things complement each other, other mixtures are toxic. The interests of the world and God are contradictory; spiritual life and carnality are the same way. They are mutually exclusive. First Corinthians 10:21 states, “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too.” Therefore, the path to real happiness and genuine spirituality involves cutting off the carnal component – what the Bible calls “crucifying.” This week’s Light on Life podcast tackles this very subject: “How to Crucify Carnality and Live a Happy Life.”

The Truth About What It Means to Be Spiritually Mature

The Truth About What It Means to Be Spiritually Mature

So today, we are going to talk about growing into spiritual maturity. What is that? What is growing up spiritually? How do you know if you are making progress? How do you gauge it? You know a tape measure is a must when you need an accurate measurement. How long is that bolt that you need? About 4 inches? Maybe 5? If you need one that is exactly 4 inches, you’ll need an exact measurement. A random measurement is not effective when you need to be precise. Do you live your life randomly? Have you measured your maturity in Christ accurately? A random measurement is not good enough. The Bible teaches us that we are to measure our spiritual maturity. What are the marks of a mature Christian believer? A thankful heart, prayer, joy, fellowship, confidence in God’s salvation, partnership, growing and discerning love, and righteousness.1 So in today’s podcast, we are going to take a look at what Paul wrote about this subject as we look at “The Truth About What It Means to Be Spiritually Mature” all on this week’s Light on Life.

Why You Need to Understand Jesus Crucifixion

Jesus followers everywhere hold His crucifixion on a cross for their sins and that God the Father raised Him from the dead three days later. They demonstrate faith in that truth by the lives that they live. Every departing missionary is an act of faith in the resurrection. When you forgive your enemy, feed the hungry, and defend the weak, you believe in the resurrection.1 When you pray to a God you cannot see, when you believe you receive from Him your need met, you believe in the resurrection. When you walk in love towards others, when you forgive your enemies, when you hold your tongue when other’s speak ill of you, you believe in the resurrection. These beliefs are essential but God wants you to understand the depth of it all. And so He gave in His Word some of the details about what happened after Jesus was crucified. Today, we are going to take a look at some of this as we focus on Why You Need to Understand the Crucifixion of Jesus, all on this week’s Light on Life.
