Reasons to Believe

  Hoping for Heaven, Reservations in Hell Have you ever stopped to examine your faith? In Hoping for Heaven, Reservations in Hell, David Rose challenges believers to take a hard look at their walk with God—and at the state of the modern Church. Drawing from Scripture, the writings of early Church fathers, and centuries of revival history, this book exposes the compromises, traditions, and false comforts that have led many astray. Rose warns that casual Christianity is not enough. Through vivid examples, powerful exhortations, and historical insight, he reminds readers that salvation is a call to holiness, repentance, and obedience—not just a private prayer or empty ritual. This is more than a critique of the Church; it is a call to revival, to personal sanctity, and to a return to biblical truth. Whether you are a lifelong believer or seeking clarity in a world full of spiritual distractions, Hoping for Heaven, Reservations in Hell will challenge, convict, and inspire you to live a...

  Seriously, look around. Even in many churches today, sin isn’t trembled at anymore. It’s normalized, joked about, explained away. People talk as if God is only love but never holy, only merciful but never just. You hear it all the time: “Jesus loves me, so why should I change?”—not realizing the same Bible says the wrath of God abides on those who do not believe (John 3:36), and that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men (Romans 1:18). Not just the openly wicked out there—but ANY place God finds ungodliness, He judges it. Scripture says plainly: “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17). That should shake us. That should wake us up. We have lost what the Bible calls the beginning of wisdom—the fear of the Lord (Proverbs 9:10). Without that fear, there is no real conviction. Without conviction, there is no repentance. The law was meant to expose us, to shut our mouths before a holy...

Hey friends, as someone who's spent years digging into Scripture, ancient history, and the strange things unfolding in our world today, I've become convinced that we're living in the "days of Noah" all over again. What the Bible describes in Genesis 6 isn't just some dusty old tale—it's a warning about a supernatural incursion that corrupted humanity and set the stage for judgment. And if we're paying attention, the same forces that produced the giants of old are gearing up for one final, massive deception. I'm talking about the Nephilim, the fallen ones, and how their legacy might be hiding in plain sight—not just in forgotten bones or suppressed archaeology, but in the wild tales of Bigfoot and the skyrocketing reports of UFOs and "aliens." Drawing from the same biblical framework that researchers like Tom Horn, L.A. Marzulli, and Steve Quayle have explored so thoroughly, I want to walk you through what the Word says, what the evidence ...

Have you ever stopped to think about why, when someone experiences sudden pain or anger—like stubbing their toe or hammering their thumb—they often blurt out the name of Jesus Christ as a curse? It's seldom the name of any other religious figure, such as Buddha or Muhammad, and you never hear people profaning the names of their beloved family members, like their mother or father, in such moments. This selective targeting isn't random; it points to a deeper, spiritual antagonism toward the one name that embodies divine authority and salvation. As the Bible states, "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father".(1) Jesus anticipated this kind of hatred, warning His followers: "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: ...

  Many today call themselves Christians simply because they bear the name of Christ. Yet there is a growing belief—even within the church—that loving someone means accepting them exactly as they are without warning them about sin or judgment. People say things like: “Everyone has a right to their beliefs.” “It’s not my place to judge.” “My life should speak louder than my words.” But these statements often become excuses to avoid a responsibility clearly commanded in Scripture. According to the Word of God, true love does not remain silent when someone is headed toward destruction. The Bible speaks directly to this issue:  “Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.” — Leviticus 19:17 (KJV) Notice the command carefully. God does not say rebuking someone is hatred. In fact, He says the opposite. If we refuse to warn someone about sin, we are allowing that sin to remain upon them. Silence, in this cas...
