Civil courage or the courage of one’s conviction can be described as the courage to speak up and act for one’s position.

Come Again—One Cannot and Does Not Have To Obey the Law?
God gave us His law in order to obey it. But doesn’t God also say that we cannot serve or obey Him? On the other hand, He only promises us the gift of the Holy Spirit when we obey Him.

As a nation, we could not. The lockdown restrictions have brought us an “economic catastrophe the likes of which we have never seen before,” as well as “untold human suffering.” And still, we hear increasingly that certain US states are willing to return to lockdown. And that, even though lockdown measures have not proven to be successful. In Germany, a huge demonstration took place last Saturday, demanding an end to governmental-mandated restrictions.

The real question for you is: Can YOU survive another lockdown? The answer is: Absolutely, if you make the right decisions.

For example, how was Jesus Christ resurrected, and what kind of body will a true Christian have in the resurrection? Will many or just very few inherit salvation? Is it true that most will end up in the lake of fire? Or is it correct that today, just about everyone is called for the Kingdom of God? Is there sin which cannot and will not be forgiven? In what way will all Israel be saved?

Why Did King Saul Fail?
Following Israel’s demand for a king to fight their battles, God instructed the judge and prophet Samuel to anoint Saul as their king. Saul received God’s Holy Spirit, but he failed miserably. Why?
