In our world of violent extremism, other people don’t seem to matter! However, we must reject this approach, because Christians are people who love other people!

The Power of Prophecy
What is about to happen to the people of the world and even to planet earth has been foretold by God, and the Church of God has been given a prophetic role to fulfill.
Imperfection and Improvement
The life of a Christian inherently involves handling imperfection. Whether the origin is our own behavior or the circumstances that surround us, we must develop the skills to handle imperfection gracefully. It is part of the job description of all Christians to continually improve as a way of life, so that perfection can ultimately be obtained.
Which Cross?
It is well known that the Tau-Cross (commonly pictured as the type of cross on which Christ was crucified) has been used as an object of worship long before Christ was born. But does the Bible even support the idea that Christ was nailed to such a two beamed cross? If not, what does God’s Word reveal?
Gold, Cloth & Eye Salve
In a world that is filled with an attitude of what is best for self, it is easy for Christians to get entangled in this type of thinking and lose sight on God’s providence and strength in their lives. In the church we understand that the age we are living in now is called in scripture the Laodicean era. God gives very serious warnings to this end time church. What can we do to ensure that we are not in this category?
Fervent Love
In difficult and discouraging times, remember the goodness of God and His love for us and rekindle the fervent love we have for Him.
Pentecost 2016–God’s Feast of the Firstfruits
Why do we celebrate Pentecost this year on June 12? What is the meaning of “Pentecost”? Why is it also called “Feast of Weeks” and “Feast of Firstfruits”? In light of Leviticus 23, when did the priest wave the sheaf of the firstfruits, and when did he wave the two loaves of leavened bread, which were also called firstfruits? What was the symbolic meaning of the sheaf and the two breads? Is Jesus the first who was resurrected from death to eternal life? Are there only few people today who are being called into the truth? Are they called firstfruits? Do they have to be predestined by God to be called in this day and age? In light of God’s Spirit of power, is there a guarantee that called Christians will inherit salvation?
One of a Kind
What makes us one of a kind and what sets us apart from the rest of the world? How do we produce fruits of righteousness? Just as a tree needs special ingredients to produce good fruit, how does this compare with us and our spiritual lives?
I Am Stubborn!
Stubborn refusal to heed can truly be a matter of life or death! Stubbornness is a dangerous component of pride and self-righteousness; it is a springboard to rebellion; and, ultimately, it will result in an unwillingness to be led by God!
Authentic or Counterfeit?
We are increasingly faced with actions and ideas masquerading as Christianity. We are warned to be ever watchful and to guard the precious truth that has been given to us through the Holy Spirit. Our eternal salvation depends on it!
