It is unclear which storm you are asking about. Let's talk about living through the final storms of Armageddon. Zephaniah 2:3 reads, "Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be [...]
Eve was the first one to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Genesis 3 informs us that Satan, personified as a serpent, lied to Eve saying, "You will not certainly die, God knows that when you eat from it your [...]
We believe that one reason for the “disconnect” you spoke of may be the element of sacrifice that “works” involves. It is far easier to believe that faith alone is all that is needed in order to enter heaven. Although faith in Jesus’ incredible sacrifice [...]
This scripture needs to be looked at in context of the two preceding scriptures. After Jesus was resurrected, he appears to his apostles and tells them, "As the Father has sent me, I am sending you. And with that he breathed on them and [...]
God provided animal flesh for meat after the Flood in Genesis 9:3, "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things." However, dietary restrictions of the Law (during the time of Moses) were imposed [...]
We believe you are referring to Leviticus 8:30-31, “Then Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood from the altar and sprinkled them on Aaron and his garments and on his sons and their garments. So he consecrated Aaron and [...]
We believe the scriptures teach that the administration of justice within the Church is a whole Church matter. Therefore, in the event that the pastor and elders are the offending parties, they would be subject to the same disciplinary process as any other Church [...]
Our understanding of consecration and baptism may be a bit different from your understanding. We will state our view on what we believe each means.To consecrate one’s life to the Lord means that one has made a covenant of sacrifice of self-will in order [...]
We would first like to commend you for your respect for God’s laws. Although there are no scriptural references that specifically forbid unmarried couples from living in the same abode, it certainly makes good moral sense to live apart. Here's why. In speaking to [...]
As Christians we believe in the sanctity of marriage. In fact, the Bible presents marriage as a divine institution. God himself united Adam and Eve in holy matrimony, saying, “Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and [...]
The word “angel” means messenger or ambassador. In the past, angels had been sent to earth by God to execute His commands and make His purposes known to men. You can read about some examples in the Old Testament where angels appeared to Abraham, Hagar, Jacob, Moses, [...]
God uses various instrumentalities for communicating His instructions. Thus the Lord Jesus Himself is called the Father's "Word"--the Message, the Logos (John 1:1; Revelation 19:13). St. Paul speaks of him saying, "God, who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in times past unto [...]
The knowledge of God, the Creator, that He is wise and just, loving and all powerful, and that He is our loving Heavenly Father, one that we can draw nigh unto with confidence and trust in every time of need, through the merits of [...]
It is very evident to the close observer that men and women the world over are more and more approaching a condition of equality. This is largely due to the changing state of affairs in the industrial and social realms. Women are entering in [...]
To live is to possess sentient being; to be capable of consciousness, joy or sorrow, pleasure or pain. Life, in its highest sense, is known as immortality. Immortality signifies inherent life, a life not sustained by outside supplies, conditions or influence, but life possessed [...]
The Scriptures abound with illustrations which were intended to portray the varying conditions of the Christian's experience, and, unless we give careful attention to the details of these word pictures, we are liable to become confused as to their true significance. In the conversation [...]
Man when created was endowed with the moral faculties; that is, the faculties with which to determine between the right and the wrong. The faculties were perfect in the first man formed by the Creator. The Divine Law was written in the very nature [...]
Our Lord in all of his instructions to his followers continually admonished them to love one another, and not only this but that they were to love their enemies as well (John 13:35, Matthew 5:43,44-46, 1 Peter 2:23). Therefore, it would not be consistent [...]
The true footstep followers of the Lord Jesus are called to a "heavenly calling" (`Heb. 3:1`), to the "high calling of God" (`Phil. 3:13`.) They are running for the office of joint heirship with Christ Jesus in His Kingdom. The Apostle Paul was one [...]
If we have not wholly become God's people by consecration, His message to us is, "This is the will of God, even your sanctification" (`1 Thess. 4:3`). If we are His people we are to search His Word, which has been written for our [...]
