True Christian Humility
The Bible enjoins us all to be humble and have the attitude of being as such. But why? Why is it important? What does Christian humility look like? Are there any other parts that go along with being humble? We will look into these questions and discover the important answers.
Comments on News and Prophecy (November 24, 2018)
In this edition, we are addressing Europe’s desire for creating a powerful army and core Europe’s last revival of the ancient Roman Empire; the ongoing Brexit debacle with no good solutions for the UK; the future of Gibraltar; the false alternative Temple Theory and Israel’s desire of building a massive third temple on the Temple Mount; the non-exiting German-Israeli Friendship and Europe’s growing anti-Semitism; the Church of God’s debt of gratitude towards the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals; the European arms embargo on Saudi Arabia; and the curse of rising nationalism.
Finding our Way Through Faith
In our daily lives we encounter various forms of technology mapping and signage that attempt to point the way. What about our spiritual path? Are we secure that we are not slowly becoming off-track and lost in our lives? Can we even recognize the signs? This Sermonette is intended to offer several key scriptural citations upon which we may rely to connect or reconnect with God. As is the case in our physical lives, our confidence grows when we know we are heading in the right direction.
Paul’s Final Instructions
The epistles written to Timothy and Titus at the end of Paul’s life serve as a hands-on instruction in Christianity. These three books, often referred to as the “Pastoral Epistles”, expressed the love and care Paul had for the church, even as his life waned. Their practical approach can serve us today as we each walk that narrow path towards salvation.
The Truth Is What Matters
The trouble with being human is that we are naturally affected by a barrage of information that so easily distracts us from making good, godly judgment in life. What can we do to filter out the noise, and tune into the signal of the Truth of God?
Waiting for the Kingdom of God
What does it mean to wait for the Kingdom of God, and how should we apply that as Christians—both now and regarding the future?
Our Compulsion for Outrage
The Church is susceptible to outrage just as the world is. A key to fight this attitude has been given to us through God’s spirit and the understanding of who our adversary is. Without God’s Spirit guiding us we are blind and easily drawn away from our goal of redemption.
Finding the Place of Safety
Will God protect you in the times of trouble which the Bible describes as the end of this age? Will you be counted worthy? What should you be doing in preparation?
Ready At ALL Times!
How are we supposed to prepare at all times? How are we to live our days and how important is prayer? What should we pray for? Are we ready if Christ were to come back tomorrow? Are we worthy enough? Is God our first priority and can we trust Him to take care of ANY situation that we are faced with? Do we truly understand how important God is in our lives and if we shut Him out, what would the consequences be?
