Hurts and offences are never easy to deal with, and they become especially painful to us when they are directed (whether intentionally or not) at those we love. The fact that you and your family love going to church is a wonderful blessing! Each [...]
Dinosaurs fascinate us as they did the inspired writer of Genesis. We imagine vivid images of dread-inspiring beasts who once ruled earth. Dinosaurs belong to the fifth creative day (Genesis 1:20-23). The original Hebrew employs awestruck language to describe them as "great monsters," "swarming sea creatures," [...]
When Paul wrote his first epistle to those at Thessalonica they evidently believed that the Lord would return while they were still living, in the very near future. His message to them in the fourth chapter was that those of Jesus’ followers who had [...]
Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. None of us are worthy of any glory. Can we work our way into God’s favor? Ephesians 2:8,9, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith [...]
Here’s some other translations of Genesis 9:4: (Leeser) “ But flesh in which its life is, which is its blood, shall ye not eat.” (New American Standard Bible) “"Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood” In the days [...]
Salt was invaluable in biblical times due to the hot, dry climate. It was used to preserve both human food as well as animal food, and it was used in sacrifices. Salt symbolized hospitality, durability and purity. Jesus told his believers they were to be the [...]
Hopefully we have understood your question properly and these Scriptures will give you the same hope that we have for every human being that has ever lived. The nation of Israel, God’s chosen people at the time, were delivered from Egypt. That’s a picture [...]
The great tribulation is mentioned in Revelation 7:19-14: "After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.... 'These are [...]
There are no scriptures which state that Jesus took Abraham and Moses into heaven. Both of these men of faith are dead and buried just like David. Acts 2:29, 34, “Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that [...]
In God’s eyes marriage is a very holy arrangement and a lifetime commitment. “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but [...]
I will answer the question in two words, “don’t borrow”. When it comes to financial matters the Christian should always live responsibly. A Christian must take care of his own financial needs and also live in a responsible way concerning those under his or [...]
This is based on Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the son and the holy spirit.”Current scholarship shows that we were never asked to baptize in the name of the Father, [...]

God appears to be very understanding and loving when youth and lifestyle are spoken of in the Bible. As a young person, God knows that you will make mistakes and even rebel. In fact, God’s plan is entirely based on mankind making mistakes and [...]
The “sons of God” are spirit beings. Job 1:6, "...the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them." The angels of Genesis 6:1 were disobedient and chose to materialize as humans in order to enjoy the pleasures of living as human [...]
The “Sons of God” are the angels. In Jude 6: it says: “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” We see that [...]
The question implies that God directly causes the extremely unfortunate situation where a child is abused by his/her parents. God does not cause this horrible situation to occur. This world and all of mankind is full of sin. Because there is sin, there is death and [...]
