Where is This Peace That They Promised?

For many decades we have been promised a world of peace for everyone. Yet everywhere we look, we find the opposite. We see conflicts, natural disasters, plagues, destruction of farmland, continual hunger, increasing numbers of the mentally deranged, terminally ill individuals, dictators and unscrupulous governments, etc. So where is all of this peace, goodwill, and…

The Love of God in Our Heart

The Spirit of the love of God—God’s Holy Spirit—lives within the heart of the believer. But do we live in a way that’s appropriate for His Spirit to live in? Take the time to look within your own heart—do you see any bitterness or resentment there? How about in your mind or soul? It’s foolish for…

Is Your Trust in God or in Yourself?

Christ died for us, and those who follow Him place their trust in Him. He paid the entire price so that we could go free, and we‘ll be able to go to heaven someday because of this. For all those who trust God the way Christ trusted Him, He’s willing to be to them what…

The Time of the Evildoers Will End Suddenly but the Righteous Will Prevail

The Lord has set the times and the seasons on Earth, which He maintains in His own power. Man doesn’t know what distress or calamity might come on him, or even when he’ll die. He doesn’t even know what the right season and opportunity is to escape from evil and to do good for himself….

We Need Faith and Obedience to Truly Love God

The Spirit of God Who lives within the heart of anyone who truly believes in Him is also the Spirit of the love of God. In the New Testament, the Bible tells us that love is a gift. “…the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given…

The Dead Arose and Came Forth

Our human nature is composed of two basic elements: the physical body—made of a visible, material substance, and the soul—an invisible substance that is immaterial. Our body can’t be disconnected from the soul, so they are therefore associated with each other. God gave us life when He breathed the first breath of life into our…

How You Can Know That I Love You

When I was inside my mother’s womb, the Lord God spoke softly to me, saying “My precious little one, I can see that your individual character traits are starting to be developed to prepare you to take your incredible journey into this world.” He also told me that, “Before I formed thee in the belly…

17 Things You Can Do in a Moment

Exactly what is a moment? Does it translate into approximately a minute? Or is there really any definite period of time assigned to this word? After duly researching this, the conclusion is that the ‘moment’ known today does not have a definite fixed duration, other than being very brief (kind of disappointing, right?). But the…

The Miracle of Life in the Precious Blood

The primary element that a human organism comes from is the life’s blood. Our soul uses the heart as a pump, and it’s our blood that carries the life elements which send energy and nourishment to all areas of our body. The blood lives and is fed by itself, not by any other part of…

The King Who Was A Perfect Servant

Jesus Christ is very God of very God, but when He came to mankind in the flesh, He took the form of a servant or bondslave upon Himself. There has only been one perfect Servant of God upon Earth, and, being the Son of God, Christ was the Servant of God in a way no…

Valiantly Treading Down Our Enemies

When Jesus died on the Cross of Calvary, it was done openly in view of the whole universe. After “…having spoiled principalities and powers [evil angels and their domain], He made a shew of them openly [in front of all the multitude of heaven and hell], triumphing over them…” (Colossians 2:15). The powers of darkness…
