The Creator chose for our first parents the surroundings best adapted for their health and happiness. He did not place them in a palace or surround them with the artificial adornments and luxuries that so many today are struggling to obtain. He placed them in close touch with nature and in close communion with the holy ones of heaven. {MH 261.1}
In the garden that God prepared as a [...]
God’s promise is, “Ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13. {SC 43.1}
The whole heart must be yielded to God, or the change can never be wrought in us by which we are to be restored to His likeness. By nature we are alienated from God. The Holy Spirit describes our condition in such words as these: [...]
Despite popular belief, there is still a war going on for the souls of men. There is still something that will seperate us from God, called Sin. There is also a Savior that can save us from that sin…not in that sin.
How shall a man be just with God? How shall the sinner be made righteous? It is only through Christ that we can be brought into harmony [...]
Though the only confession that many in the world know is that which is done in a Catholic church, there is a deeper confession that the bible teaches.
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13.
The conditions of obtaining mercy of God are simple and just and reasonable. The Lord does not require us to do some grievous [...]
Without delay, I will say that there seems to be a lowering of the standard of good character in the world today. Duh right? I am sad to say though that many Christians have the poorest character around. How is God glorified by so many that make Him look so bad? Look at these words:
Exodus 20:7
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for [...]
This just in…the king of pop, Michael Jackson has died…oh wait, maybe you have heard that news by now. If you reside on planet earth, then yes you have. That was the biggest news in the last few weeks right? Wrong!
Last week at the same time that the world was mourning the death of a rock star, a fulfillment to bible prophecy was taking place and it seemingly [...]
Revelation 13:3…And all the world wondered after the beast. The scenes of Revelation 13 are fast fulfilling. This morning we have been privied to a 141 page document called “Caritas in veritate” or ‘Charity in Truth’. It was released by the Vatican as written by pope Benedict. This document is contrare to everything that God blessed America with. The pope calls for moral control or in other words [...]
There is a great divide in the world on whether we have access to the same power that Christ had. Are we able to be overcomers like Christ was with His help? After all, He was the lamb of God that came to take away the sin of the world-John 1:29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin [...]
The following is a study on Matthew 25:1-12. It is the story of the 10 virgins. This story shows that only those that are studying their bibles daily and praying and acting upon these two, these only will be saved when Christ returns.
The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. Matt. 25:4. {AG 214.1}
The two classes of watchers [in the parable of the ten virgins] represent [...]
Do you ever have something that just totally jumps out at you while you are studying the bible? I have a good one as of recent and I will share below.
I am intently studying the books of Daniel and Revelation. We live in a world where no one seems to no what is going on and since God knows the end from the beginning, I figured that I [...]
Now the truth is that the title of this article will attract two different views. There are perhaps other views but we will focus on two. For some reason, there is a huge emphasis in the churches of North America to go after the young adults. Typically a young adult is someone between the ages of 18-35. I personally see no reason to target this age group more [...]
What has been viewed in years past as a ‘last resort’ or escaping the real world is now being seen in a new light. With Hollywood actors, millionaires, and the common man seeking ways to live completely independent of the grid-the term off-the-grid has a new meaning.
I am sure you might know someone that moved out of the city into a place where they could seek to escape [...]
Don’t be alarmed by the title of this article. Sometimes you have to bold with headlines for the likes of the ‘Tweets’ and Facebook lifestyle we now have. Though I must say that today marks the beginning of a new era in the great American dream. This morning there is news of an or should I say ‘The’ American Icon-General Motors filing for bankruptcy. Yes they will re-emerge [...]
Have you ever studied the ‘cities of refuge’ in the bible? They are quite fascinating. When the children of Israel were entering Canaan-The Promised Land, God showed in Numbers 35 11-30, that there were to be 6 cities of refuge.
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of [...]
What does a dead church look like? For that matter, what does a dead christian look like? There is a saying that goes like this: If a church is not growing…it is dying. Do you think this is true?
I have recently been thinking alot about the state of the Christian church in North America. Though many wonderful reports come in from around the world, we sometimes need to [...]
I had this bible study this week at about 6am on Wednesday morning. It is a businessmen’s bible study I was invited to a few years back. It has changed my life and continually there are new things I learn and apply God willing into my life. There are few things as sweet as studying the bible and applying it with fellow brothers in Christ who like Daniel [...]
There is a movie coming out that is the second installment after ‘The Da Vinci Code’. In a world so in a talespin, movies like this really draw people because deep down I think everyone knows something bigger than ourselves is at work in the world. All of humanity can see that there is a great struggle between good and evil.
The movie is being advertised heavily to Christians [...]
I had a close acquaintance of mine recently inform me that he had two new items added to his body. The first was a tattoo and the second was also a tattoo. He was quick to share with me that it was ok because if we are going to say Leviticus is binding and applicable then the verse above the one about tattoos should be heeded as well. I knew [...]
I had the pleasure to go to an exhibit today at the Atlanta Civic Center to see the King Tut Exhibit. It is always inspiring and fascinating to see artifacts and stories from ages past. The Egyptians most assuredly have some of the most ancient history known to man. To see the mummies and artifacts from thousands of years ago is pretty amazing.
As I toured the exhibit, I [...]
Do you believe you are in a church that follows the truth? I hope you say yes. Even if you were to be in a church/religion that I personally do not think is true, you as well as all people on earth should be full of conviction that you follow the ‘truth’. So if you believe you are apart of God’s True Church, then do you believe that [...]
Don’t judge the whole article by the title. Though it may sum up what the biggest issue is with the Christian church. The state of the church and the state of the nations depend on what we do to fix this problem. The line of distinction between the world and Christians…has dissappeared.
I was blessed to be able to lead a study this past weekend on Revelation 3 in [...]
