A lot of people think that the search
for the spiritual is a big mystery or
requires attendance in retreats or
meetings with great spiritual gurus,
but that is not the case. Spirituality is
an integral part of everyone and can
be found in all aspects of your life.
You only need to become...
You cannot
hoard things for a rainy
day if you are truly trusting
Christ. Jesus said, “Let not
your heart be
troubled . . .” (John 14:1 ).
God will not keep your
heart from being troubled.
It is a command— “Let
not. . . .” To do it,
continually pick yourself
up, even if you fall a...
Does God
really mean for us to plan
without taking the evil
around us into account?
“Love . . . thinks no evil” ( 1
Corinthians 13:4-5 ). Love is
not ignorant of the
existence of evil, but it does
not take it into account as a
factor in planning. When
we were apart from God,
we did...
God seems to have a
delightful way of upsetting
the plans we have made,
when we have not taken
Him into account. We get
ourselves into
circumstances that were
not chosen by God, and
suddenly we realize that we
have been making our
plans without Him— that
we have not even
considered...
Is Ebola mentioned in Bible
prophecy? And if so, is it a sign of
the end times?
These are the questions many
people are asking in light of the
recent outbreak of this deadly
disease in West Africa. As Ebola
spreads to countries outside of
Western Africa, many people are
beginning to...
Answer: How long did it take Noah
to build the ark? The Bible does not
specifically say how long it took Noah
to build the ark. When Noah is first
mentioned in Genesis 5:32 , he is 500
years old. When Noah enters the ark,
he is 600 years old. The time it took to
build the ark would depend...
Chapter 14 verse 14 also stood out in
regards to Abram's character: "When
Abram learned that Lot had been
captured, he called together the men
born into his household, 318 of them
in all. He chased after Kedorlaomer's
army until he caught up with them in
Dan." I don't know about you...
Jesus never directly confronted
political or divisive issues. The
Pharisees constantly tried to trap
Jesus by forcing him to give an
opinion on contentious topics
(Matthew 17:24:-27; 19:1-12; 22:15-22).
His responses were earnest, yet brief.
Jesus did not come into the world to
debate...
The April issue of Everyday Gospel
Magazine featured an article written
by Dr. Marc LaMont Hill who
touched on the subject of the
epidemic of prosperity teaching in
the church. I’d like to add my views
to the discussion. I feel compelled to
talk about this because of the
overwhelming...
At no point in history was God ever
silent. God has always
communicated with his people in
some way or another. We can be rest
assured that if God wants something
said, it will be heard. It thus
behooves us not to determine
whether God speaks today, but how
He does it.
Even a cursory...
The Bible reveals that in times past
servants of God were given visions
and dreams for specific reasons and/
or to convey special messages. For
example, Jesus gave a vision of His
future Kingdom on earth to Peter,
James, and John, no doubt as a
witness and encouragement both to
them and...
A child in North Korea explains to her
teacher that she did well on a test "by
God's grace." Later, she arrives home
to find her parents have disappeared.
Such stories in a new Vacation Bible
School curriculum from persecution
ministry Voice of the Martyrs have
some children's...
Many others view the New Testament
prohibitions simply as practical advice
to preserve the sanctity and tranquility
of the church and to avoid scandal.
Although the New Testament writers
passively accepted slavery, few people
would argue that we should return to
the horrors of slavery. In...
Suicide is the act of intentionally killing
oneself. It is a tragedy not only for
person whose life is lost, but also for
surviving family and friends who may
experience feelings of grief,
emptiness, guilt, failure or shame. In
the U.S., suicide is the 10th leading
cause of death and...

Many young girls have dreams of
marriage or stardom. They dream
of the men they hope to marry.
Grown-up reality has a way of
debunking most of those dreams.
Too often a child’s dream involves
perfection—the happily-ever-after
syndrome, and real people don’t
live up to that kind of...
veryone feels afraid at some point
-- whether it's a gnawing, anxious
feeling or a paralyzing phobia. Any
change, even positive changes like
marriage or a promotion, can
prompt feelings of fear. The Bible
offers powerful alternatives to those
voices, reminding readers
repeatedly, "Do not...
Where do material blessings
come from? It's in the Bible ,
Deuteronomy 8:18, NIV. "But
remember the Lord your God,
for it is He who gives you the
ability to produce wealth."
Can money get in the way of
more important things? Wealth
can become the center of our life
and take God's place...
According to 1 Cor 7:9 it seemed it was only men who were addressing their problems . Does it really mean that marriage was only provision to satisfy men's needs ? Was such application suitable in todays' life ? Suppose women had their grievances and ask Poul " suppose I'm married and I'm not...
re those who are saved by God
still left with free will? Are we
saved against our will? Is free will
opposed to predestination? If we are
predestined to be saved, how can free
will still be relevant or exist? Since we
are free, moral agents, how can we be
predestined to be saved by God...
