Some day Satan will be conquered forever, the judgement will take place, and the saints will go to be with the Lord. Are you ready for that day?
The Holy Spirit is probably the most misunderstood person of the Godhead yet He is an important part of our salvation. It is a serious thing to offend Him. It robs us of peace and of usefulness. And if one continues to grieve and insult and quench Him, it may rob that person of his eternal reward.
In Pharaoh's house there were frogs in the bedrooms, on the seats, in the food. Yet when God let him decide when the curse of frogs should be removed, he said, "Tomorrow". It seems foolish that he asked for one more night with the frogs but in reality many of us are doing the same thing.
Sometimes Christians get the idea that they should be able to enjoy God’s blessings without being subjected to His testings. However, God has told us that trials and suffering can be expected. Jesus' presence and the grace to endure hardships are promised, not comfort and pleasure here on earth.
One of the biggest sources of stress in life is our relationships with other people. Is avoiding those we clash with the answer? or is there a better solution?
Although Simon Peter denied Jesus three times on the night before His crucifixion he later became one of the pillars of the church. His example should be an encouragement to all who have fallen in their Christian lives.
There is one thing that is absolutely certain—we all must meet God. The only question is; are you ready for that meeting?
Many people look at death as a dark hole into which people stumble when they breathe their last mortal breath. But for the Christian death can be the moment of final victory.
The church of Jesus is to be a pure bride for Him. To maintain this purity members who fail to live holy lives and are not repentant must be put out of the church. Some think church discipline cruel but when carried out in love it is for the eternal good of all involved.
A servant of Christ needs to cultivate a number of qualities in order to be effective. It is each person's responsibility to go on to perfection and holiness by the grace of God.
Hell is an awful place and it is not God's will that any one go there. So He has set up a number of obstacles designed to help the sinner turn back from his downward path. We can bypass them if we choose, but God has done His part to help us reach heaven.
Nearly every book of the New Testament says something about the Christian and his relation to the world. We are to be separate from the world, not only in dress but also in speech and attitudes.
God hates all sin and so if we are trying to please Him we must avoid the things He finds disgusting. In Proverbs we are given a list of seven things that are abominations to Him.
One of the truths repeated over and over again in the Bible is the fact that Jesus Christ is coming to the earth twice. None of us knows just when He is going to come again but the Scripture clearly implies that it is possible for us to see the day of the Lord approaching.
Spiritual God-given gifts to Christians are an asset to the church. Some have to do with speaking or serving, such as the gifts of evangelism, teaching, prophecy, faith, and giving. What a privilege to be able to be of some service to the church!
