A telling barometer of our Christianity can be found in the way we conduct ourselves in relation to our family. We need to be able to recognize the warnings contained in God’s Word and take proper action to correct problems within our family. The Bible explains about Who instituted the family; about how to properly conduct family life; and–importantly–what our individual roles are as members in both our human families and that of the Church of God.

Christian Marriage
OT and NT
Scriptures clearly reveal that being unequally yoked is wrong, particularly in
marriage. True Christians
must marry only in the faith to another baptized member as marriage is a holy
estate and the most supreme way of sharing in the life of another person. Failure to comply with clear
Biblical admonition may well lead to matrimonial difficulties as well as the
possibility of being drawn away from God.
In Christ's Name
When we pray to the Father “in Christ’s name,” what exactly do we mean? This phrase must not be used without comprehension of its meaning, lest it becomes a vain repetition. The concept that “in Christ’s name” only means, “by His authority,” is incorrect, as much more is included. The fact that we are granted permission to approach God the Father directly, as we were reconciled to the Father through Christ’s Sacrifice, is also important–but it, too, does not give the full meaning of what is all involved. What, then, did Christ mean and what did He want to convey to us, when He told us to pray to the Father “in Christ’s name”?

Communicating With Our God
Christ understood the correct way to draw close to God and to call upon His Power to help in every need. The prayer of our Lord, recorded in Matthew 6:5-13, brings out most of the points we should remember as we come before God in prayer and supplications to Him.

Finished
Of all the things that we face as Christians, finishing our calling is our greatest challenge! Having chosen to follow Jesus Christ in answer to God’s calling, we also must finish what we have begun.
The Resurrections
What happens to man after death? Will man’s “immortal soul” go to heaven or hell, when man dies? Will it stay in limbo or purgatory? Will it be reborn in a cycle of reincarnations? The Bible teaches consistently that man’s soul is mortal; and that man’s only hope for life after death is through a resurrection from the dead. But the Bible also teaches that not everyone will be brought back to life at the same time, or in the same resurrection. The Last Great Day teaches us the important truth of the resurrections of the Bible.
Prepare for Leadership
Today, real
leaders are in short supply.
But God is not going to be caught short-staffed. He is not planning on down-sizing
the ranks of His royal priesthood in the coming reality of His Kingdom. If we now prepare wisely and
carefully, we will be glad that we did. – and so will those who will need our
leadership skills in the future!
By diligently preparing now to become an effective leader, we will be
fully prepared to answer the call when the final trumpet is blown – summoning
those whom God has called and trained to lead the world in His ways in the
wonderful world tomorrow.
What a Day
The rejoicing when this day is fulfilled in the future with billions resurrected and given a chance of eternal life.
God's Desire For You and Me
God is training us to become what He wants us to be, as members of His Family! To achieve this high calling, we must learn the reality concerning ourselves and we must come to understand that God expects to see change from what we are today!
