At one time or another, we all face difficulties. We get so caught up in our problems we fail to realize that there are many things for which we can be thankful, starting with our very existence. Almost 30 years ago Capi, a young teenager in Rwanda, ran from her home as her parents and […]
The Bible contains writings that describe a future event that is often referred to as The Rapture (taking up.) Paul, the apostle of Jesus, in his letter to the church in the Greek city of Thessaloniki, described the event this way: According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, […]
The person of Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible differentiates Christianity. The cross of Christ forever bridged the gap between sinners and a Holy God. The Bible, rightly called the book that made our world, has inspired the best of Western civilization: science, technology, education, and political and economic freedom. Because we are made in […]
Last week we covered God’s involvement in His creation up to the coming of Christ. After a silence period of 400 hundred years, God again appeared and became actively involved to complete a plan He had before the creation of the world. So let’s now look at what we observe God doing after this silent […]
Yes, but often we’re not listening. God created man and woman in his image, that is he gave them the capacity to communicate in a way that is different from all the other creatures in the world. He gave them the capacity to interact with the creator of not just the world, but the universe […]
Last week we wrote about what it means to be childlike when it comes to discovering God. This week we’ll focus on what it means to receive God’s Kingdom. To begin with, we need to know what the Bible means when it refers to the Kingdom of God. A kingdom assumes a king or sovereign. […]
This is an interesting two-part question. It’s essentially asking what is the kingdom of God and how can someone receive it. Consequently, we will answer the receive part first and describe the kingdom of God next week. So let’s see what the Scriptures say about receiving the kingdom as a little child. Jesus said, “Let […]
The simple answer is yes. The Bible makes more references, over 65, to hell than to heaven. It is described as a place of eternal torment, utter darkness, constant weeping, no water to quench one’s thirst and a place of eternal fire. There are personal true testimonies of people who had out-of-body experiences and were […]
These are two of the greatest mysteries of life. The answer to the first question is partly based on medical evidence or the lack of it as the soul cannot be found within the physical body. We get some clues as to what faculties or components of a person could be eternal and reside in […]
This question has been asked in many ways throughout the centuries. Even when Jesus was alive, witnesses described events differently. So, we shouldn’t be surprised to read in the gospels recorded by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and in letters written by Paul, Peter and others, reports of events that seem to be contradictory. Eyewitnesses […]
