A flood of destruction of all kinds has been coming against God’s Church lately, because the Devil is attempting to overwhelm and conquer it. Yet this flood is no match for the shed blood of Christ.

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.

17 Useful Things 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?

Greek historian Herodotus in the fifth century B.C. wrote about a fountain supposedly in Ethiopia, with a very special kind of water which gave the people superior duration of life.

Only Jesus Can Overcome Our Old Self
Once we give our life to God, we discover that inside of us there is both our old self (that person we were before God saved us), and now the ‘new man’ (that God is making us into). The very nature of our old self is rebellion against God. Slowly we discover that we are…
God’s Grace isn’t a Laundry for Sins
When we accept Jesus into our hearts and He cleanses us of our sins through His blood shed on the Cross, we are not given a blank check to start a life of wrongdoing all over again. God’s grace doesn’t make His Son into the operator of a laundromat where we drop off our sin…
New Life Out of the Old
“If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new…
