What is the Gospel, and when did it start? Who began preaching it and to whom was it preached?
Gospel means “good news.” God’s wonderful plan of salvation for all mankind is God’s good news. When did the Lord begin to proclaim the plan of redemption from sin and death? Way back in the Garden of Eden. Even when God was pronouncing the punishments, God told the serpent (picturing Satan), “I will put hostility [...]
My husband and I have been separated for 10 plus years and also have not spoken for all that time. Is it alright in God’s eyes if I divorce him and find a new man?
This is such a painful experience. When a married couple cannot even talk, there are deep wounds, anger, and sorrows for both people. Sadly, there are many reasons marriages fall apart: adultery, drinking, gambling, domestic violence, bitterness, the occult, etc. Sin is a part of our fallen nature and a strong, deceptive influence from this [...]

During the birth of Jesus, if the three Wise Men had to leave the star aside which was showing them the right direction and ask Herod who angrily killed all innocent babies 2 years old and below, why were they called "Wise Men"?
In the Greek, the word used here for the wise men is magos or Magi. The term originally referred to the great scholars among the Medes and Persians who counseled the king and who studied astrology, medicine, astronomy and natural science. At the time of Jesus’ birth, God arranged an astrological sign to announce this wonderful [...]
Why do we pray for the "blood" covering? When I accepted Jesus, I have already been covered and filled with his blood.
Romans 5:9 says, “…being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” This means that believers are under the blood of Christ and no longer under Adamic condemnation. Although the blood of Christ covers the sins inherited from father Adam, the process of cleansing and spiritual growth is an ongoing work. [...]
