he book of Daniel, God tells of a future time when the fourth successive world ruling kingdom will appear. It is actually a revival of a previous system – the Roman Empire (Daniel 7:23-24). This system will be dominated by a religious power described in Revelation 13 as the image of the beast. This religious…

is slipping by ever so quickly and we are fast approaching another important series of markers in God’s plan of salvation. In quick succession we will observe four Holy Days, each with a particular meaning associated with Christ’s return and the establishment of God’s Kingdom. These are days of anticipation. We anticipate very keenly the…

news of recent weeks has been very revealing both here in the U.S. and abroad. It reveals a human mindset that is becoming increasingly sinister and depraved by the day. We’ve witnessed the legalization of homosexual marriage and its fall out – government-enforced penalties on those not accepting of this perversion. We’ve seen and heard…

prophet Micah began his address to Israel and Jerusalem by stating that all nations were to pay attention to what he was going to say. The reason seems to be based on the fact that Israel was misrepresenting God to “the earth and all that is in it” (Micah 1:2). The main culprits in this…

ng a very difficult period of David’s life before he became king, he evidenced characteristics that have been recorded in God’s Word for our benefit. We know that our Father is ever present in our lives. At least we know it academically. But sometimes it feels like we are alone – especially when we pray…

e is no doubt that we live in a world of changing morality. Over the years we have regularly talked about the steady – and sometimes rapid – decline in moral standards around us. We have noted that some people view the breaking down of barriers and taboos as progress towards a freer, more accepting…

ong>Repentance Man was created to have a relationship with his Creator. The Father desires to have and is the process of creating an eternal spiritual family and man was created just for that purpose. Christ is the captain and author of eternal salvation (Hebrews 2:6-10; 5:8-9). Adam and Eve’s sin in the Garden of Eden…

Bible clearly makes the claim to be the Word of God and assures us that all scripture is given by inspiration of God.
