Trials and Temptations

by Norbert Link
Many have used the phrase. Many are saying it in their church services. Some are saying it in prayer every day. But do they really understand what they are saying? We are referring to a phrase, which is attributed to Jesus Christ. According to the Authorized Version, Jesus asked us to pray to the Father, “Lead us not into temptation.” But, did Christ tell us to pray in that way? Wouldn’t this be a strange request, knowing that God does not tempt anyone? The problem is that the translation in the Authorized Version is very misleading. What Christ actually did say is a puzzle to many. The answer might surprise you.

The First Day

by Dave Harris

A very important aspect of keeping God’s commanded Holy Days is to understand the meaning behind them. They outline the great master plan of God, and we find in them the message of our salvation and the promise of eternal life in the Kingdom of God. For Christians, the observance of this first day of  the seven day Feast of Unleavened Bread pictures our deliverance out of the spiritual slavery of sin.

Self Examination

by Rene Messier (Canada)

The process of self examination is not a static but rather continuous process realigning our thinking and actions to the mind  of Christ as we follow his example as laid out in scripture and His personal example in the gospels, using the fruit of the Spirit as the criteria.

As We Examine Ourselves

by Edwin Pope

We are approaching the time for two of God’s annual festivals: The Passover and The Days of Unleavened Bread. As with the weekly Sabbath, there is a time established for preparation of these two festivals. And we must prepare, physically and spiritually, for each of these two.
The Passover is observed in the evening of the 14th day of the first month, which according to God’s calendar is Nisan or Abib. Passover is a one day festival. The festival God refers to as The Days of Unleavened Bread is a seven day festival, which begins at sunset as the 15th day of the first month (Nisan or Abib) begins. Each of these two festivals is significant in God’s overall Plan.
God requires as a part of the spiritual preparation for Passover that we “examine ourselves.” His concern has to do with our overall attitude in taking the Passover that we not eat of it in an “unworthy” manner. The command then is that we “examine ourselves” and that we “eat” the Passover.

The Power of the Tongue

by Norbert Link
If we want to be righteous people, we must control the use of our tongues. Although no man can tame the tongue, God can, but we must let Him do it. If we keep saying wrong things, then there is something wrong with our hearts–with the way we think–the way our minds function. There are numerous principles in the Bible, showing us what to say and what not to say. There is also a strong connection between slander and wrong judgment. And, to use foul language or certain euphemisms is just another way of misusing our tongues. Death and life are in the power of our tongues. How we use them can make all the difference– for us and for others.

Eternal Death

by Dave Harris

Mankind has a choice to make. That choice will lead to either eternal life or eternal death. The awful reality is that some both have and will choose to disobey God and bring upon themselves destruction in the lake of fire. We need to understand the kind of choice we are making!

God's Kingdom and His Righteousness

by Edwin Pope

Jesus Christ, while teaching His disciples principles by which they were to live instructed them that any who would follow Him should seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.
Why did Christ say this? Why is it critical for one to seek after these two things? And how is one to accomplish this requirement?

Fruits

by Rene Messier (Canada)

Developing the fruit of the Spirit is vital to our continued growth as Christians. Its manifestation is the proof that God is working in our lives.  The tools used to grow in the Spirit are Prayer, Bible Study, Mediation and occasional Fasting. These are MUSTS and must not be neglected for our continued walk as Christians and our development of our crucial ongoing relationship with God and Christ.

Why Not Heaven — Part 1

by Norbert Link

Will we go to heaven when we die? Most professing Christians hope that they do, because they don’t like what they think might be the “alternative”–that is, going to an “ever-burning hell.” But does the Bible tell us that we will go to heaven? What happens when we die? Why does the Bible speak of a resurrection from the dead? And what happens after the resurrection? Most know that the Bible teaches a “Millennium” or a thousand-year rule. But when and where is this going to take place? Will we be ruling in heaven, as some teach? If you know the answers to these questions, would you be able to prove the truth from Scripture? Where in the Bible do we find the answers?
