Christians are not immune to problems, trials and temptations and how well we know that. There are some people, however, who believe that unpleasant events in our lives are proof that there is something wrong with our faith. They assume that there is a problem in our relationship with God and they tend to correlate goodness with prosperity. This is not Biblical teaching and James gives us some clear teaching in his epistle on the subject. The Early Church in his time was a scattered and persecuted Body and James assures us that the Lord never allows anything in our lives without PURPOSE and...

31-Day Devotional. JONAH is one of the most interesting characters in the Bible. A prophet of note, he was well-known in Israel. Jewish tradition says that he was a disciple of the famous Elisha and possibly succeeded him as prophet. God called this man to prophesy against Nineveh, capital of Assyria, and call this nation to repentance. He was very reluctant to do that. Israel's enemies were his enemies and the last thing he wanted was for God to be merciful to them. He preferred that they come under judgment and disappear forever. He was unable to understand that the conversion and ...

Jesus described the "last days" very graphically. They would, He said, remind us of the Days of Noah — but they would be far worse. Even believers will be caught up in the worldly spirit of the age and many will find their love and commitment to the Lord waning. What were the Days of Noah like? "Days of Noah and the Return of Christ" takes a closer look.

The Lord Jesus Christ prophesied that religious deception would be very prevalent in the End Times. The devil is the master of deception. He watches closely everything the Lord does and tries to counterfeit it. "And no wonder, for satan himself masquerades as an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14). We can expect him to make every attempt to produce false signs that will draw people away from God. He has been in the counterfeiting business from the beginning of time. The Bible speaks about "false Christs" and "false prophets" in the End Times and "Religion and the Return of Christ" takes a look ...

There is nothing as magnificent and awesome in all of creation as the Amazing Love of God.

FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS - 31 day Devotional. ESTHER, God's Woman on the Spot, lived in the 5th Century BC during the time of Persian rule under the capricious King Ahasuerus (Xerxes).

This was a woman who lived "for such a time as this." May her story challenge each one of us to fulfill our God-appointed destiny.

The Deity of Christ is one of the key doctrines of scripture. Our salvation rests on the fact that the sinless Son of God Himself paid the supreme price for your sin and mine. “There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin. Only He could unlock the gates of heaven and let us in.” Either Jesus Christ was deluded, a fraud, or He was exactly Who He claimed to be.. "God Manifest in the Flesh", the Eternal Son of God. Many years ago, Jesus asked His disciples who people thought He was. When they replied that “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of ...
