    It is God alone who can read hearts. God gave this truth to Samuel in the long ago. God does not see things as men do but instead looks on the heart (I Sam. 16:7). The end of America or any nation is determined by God when He sees there is not enough righteousness to…

    When it comes time to pay bills and there is not enough money, we have to make choices about which is the most important ones. It could be we have much that we need to do and not enough time to get it all done, we choose which is the most important task. All of…

    Our televisions are now flooded by candidates giving us reasons to vote for them come November. When they pay time for 30 to 60 second spots to get their message out, they have to choose their words very carefully. Our mailboxes likewise are filled with ads from candidates seeking our votes.

    Part of the role of being a parent is to help their children feel secure and appreciated. Perhaps it is a small scrape or a red place on the arm or leg. The parent gets a band-aid or in some cases a big kiss to let the child know, everything is all right. As the…

    We live in a time when the idea of being accountable for actions seems to be a lost commodity. Why do we think for instance is marriage an honorable thing? God created the first pair to be male and female (Gen. 1:27). When the woman was brought to the man in Genesis two we have…

    There should be no discussion about grace being “unmerited”, that is not deserved by man. Grace is the favor of God given to mankind. By His grace crops grow because sunshine, rain, seed and efforts of man in planting and harvesting the crop (Matt. 5: 45; Acts 14:17). At times evil grows and all humanity…

    Is freedom itself something that occurs with no effort? One of many great signs that point to the coming of the Messiah in the Old Testament is found in Isaiah 61:1. Here are two things to signify the work of the Messiah (Christ) when He would come. One is proclaiming liberty to the captives and…

    One of the major flaws in the Rapture is the idea of Jesus returning to earth to set up a physical kingdom. First question in my mind is why is He going to return? If it is to set up a kingdom then we are faced with the truth that Jesus failed to do so…

    What I have read from those who believe in the Rapture, all the events described in Matthew 24 are yet in the future. In particular based on current events the belief is that it is about to happen in the near future. No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation (2 Peter 1:20).…

    There is of course time when nature around us becomes violent. Earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, and other sorts of storms which bring great problems to humanity as a whole. What we have to consider is that God set laws in motion for the preservation of all humanity. Storms of one kind or another cause concern about…
