When We’ve Lost the Presence of God and Need to Reconnect
Why is it important to be reconnecting the presence of God today? The answer has always been available, but the reality is that humanity has somehow lost or misplaced it.

Whenever we purposely stop depending on God’s Holy Spirit to help us stand against being tempted to sin, and then turn around and deliberately make plans to sin, we leave ourselves exposed to possible attacks, or even control, by Satan. It is not just our actions that he attacks—our motivation is under attack as well….
The Solid Truth of God Will Keep Us
Whenever God’s Word has been put to the test, it has been found every time to be as true as the purest gold and worthy of our trust. It is the solid truth of God alone that protects us from evil and sets us free. But when experience by itself dominates our life instead, the…

We live in a world today that is full of deceivers. The only way we can avoid being misled by them is by paying attention to the advice of Christ. He stated in advance what signs will arrive before His coming. The first would be an increase in false prophets and false Christs. “…He said,…
Godly Jealousy: God’s Fatherly Love
The Apostle Paul was used of God to help the Corinthians believe in Christ, and also to unite with Him to become one as a husband and wife are one (see Ephesians 5:23-25). He was the messenger of God who had “espoused them to one husband” when he led them to Christ. This was when they were…
