We knew a man who had similar experiences. He would wake up and feel as though an evil spirit was at the window looking in, and he could not move. One night, he asked Jesus to help him, and suddenly he felt that the evil spirit [...]
Man has identified and tracked planets around our sun for a few millennia. The latest Mars data have led scientists to believe that there once were conditions favorable to life on that planet. The scientific community is divided over the evidence of fossil bacteria [...]
The Lord requires certain conditions of one who desires wisdom. The Psalms tell us to be humble, to recognize and admit our weak, sinful condition, and then to seek His wisdom. Psalm 25:9 “… He teaches the humble His way,” Psalm 111:10 “Reverence for the Lord is [...]
The world news is sobering and scary. The Bible tells of "a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation" (Daniel 12:1). Jesus called it "great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled [...]
The world news is sobering and scary. The Bible tells of "a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation." (Daniel 12:1) Jesus called it "great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again." (Matthew [...]
Perhaps God did answer your prayer, saying, “No.” There seems to be the assumption that God always answers prayers by giving the person exactly what they asked for. God answers prayers in three ways, just as our human parents do: 1) Yes, you can have [...]
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus is quoted as saying, “…Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee…” Mark 14:36. ‘Abba’ is Strong’s word G5. Vines Expository Dictionary of New Testament Greek explains the word as following: “…Abba is the word framed by the [...]
You have identified one important step in walking in the will of God: to become aware of the Scriptures which provide the light to see life and its decisions properly. “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.” [...]
Luke 21:3, "And he said...This poor widow has given more than all of them: for they gave out of their wealth, having more than enough for themselves: but she, even out of her need, has put in all her living."? In Luke 20:45-47, Jesus [...]
We respect anyone who is sincerely and humbly searching for God. The Quran, upon which Islam is based, claims that the Day of Judgment is committed unto Jesus. “And he (Jesus, son of Mary) shall be a knowing sign for the coming of the [...]
Genesis 2:24, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (and quoted in Ephesians 5:31). Marriage and sexual intimacy are to occur only between a man and his wife. The [...]
There is no scripture which tells us exactly what Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was. It is often thought that it was an eye impairment brought about by seeing the risen Christ. When Paul, (then named Saul), was traveling to Damascus to persecute the [...]
The Bible mentions no set times to pray or how often. When our Lord needed to choose his apostles, he prayed all night. (Luke 6:12 “he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.” ) So when [...]
Jesus said to Pilate, “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice”. Then Pilate asked, “What is truth?” (John 18:37-38) When you look [...]
"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior." (Ephesians 5:22,23) When the Apostle Paul begins this part of [...]
The end times are what Daniel calls the “time of the end” in Daniel 12:4. New Living Translation: “But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and [...]
The scripture referred to in this question is Mark 13:32 (NASV) which states “But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but the Father alone.” At the time these words were uttered during Jesus’ [...]
Several Scriptures provide guidelines as to the importance of studying God’s word and how to fellowship about it. 2 Timothy 2:15, "Study to show thyself approved unto God…rightly dividing the word of truth." When people have different understandings, it is always a good idea [...]
We often ask ourselves because of certain characteristics or circumstances if someone we know, or maybe ourselves, will go to hell. Perhaps this question arises from the reading of Luke 16:19-31, the Parable of the rich man and Lazarus. A couple important points to [...]
“All unrighteousness is sin,” 1 John 5:17. Every violation of the divine law is sin, so we can answer this question by looking at God’s laws on marriage. The divine law blessed marriage between one man and one woman from the beginning and intended it [...]
