An unclouded heart

How do we live clean in a filthy world? One of the first steps toward discovering this comes when we understand that God has given us a different nature from that of the planet. In two Corinthians Paul asks : "What fellowship has light with darkness?" ( v. Fourteen ).
If you're a follower, the Light of God's deliverance burns inside you. Jesus is the Light of the planet. He told His followers, "He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life" ( John 8:12 ). While you remain physically in the world, your eternal place of residence is in heaven. God instructed the state of Israel to keep the lamps in the church lit in the night and day. Only the comprehensive best olive oil was to be burned in these lamps. However, the people became complacent in their attention to the Lord and began burning less expensive oil. As a consequence, smoke filled up the church, darkening its walls. This is what happens to us when we fail to keep ourselves pure before the Lord.
We think our organisation with the world will not harm us, but it darkens our lives.

God’s Mind

By: Ashley Salas | 30/12/2009
Well, you can say that again. Yep, she's superb. Dr. Allen, you have written many books, and by the way, I don't believe it. Well, I do a lot. You know the thing that I do that I enjoy more than anything else? I sponsor groups to the Holy Land and we are going to the Holy Land and each night I lecture on the life of Christ. So I'm going three times a year and I am taking groups and I lecture to them. And I am not sure, there's something about when you're there where he was and ...

The Foreigner woman in Bible versus Quran (6)

By: Prof.dr. Ibrahim Khalil | 29/12/2009
The Bible says that it is a great evil against God by marrying foreign women; such foreign women made King Solomon sinful. In the whole Quran, the term "foreign woman" is not mentioned therein; all women are equal in their rights regardless of race, color, location etc. On the other hand, in Islam, anyone says or believes that King Solomon was sinful (because of his 700 wives) is categorized as disbeliever and he will dwell in the Eternal Hell in the Afterlife.

Expecting a Signs by Richard Roberts

By: Otto Heath | 29/12/2009
Pa, I just ask you in Jesus' name to break the power of fear over peoples's lives that is's making an attempt to stop them from going to the telephone and asking for that agreement in prayer. In the name of Jesus the Word announces that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that ye shall ask, go to that phone and suggest that prayer partner to pray with you. They are ready to agree with you. Father, we many thanks for the contract and we thank you for the word ...

Freedom From Stupidity

By: Phillip Ross | 29/12/2009
Christian freedom is not unlimited freedom, but is dependent on the weaker brother. Christians must not engage their own freedoms if others will misunderstand or misinterpret our activity and get snagged in sin because of it.

The Development of the Trinity Doctrine: the Beginning

By: Meredith Miller | 28/12/2009
The New Testament church was founded on the belief in the absolute Oneness of God. Before the first century had ended, the New Testament had been written and the last of the apostles had died. Then it is seen two centuries later, the beginning of the fourth century, that the doctrine of God had changed from the belief of Oneness to a concept of Trinitarianism. This article looks at the events that brought about this different viewpoint of the Godhead.

Family Influence Good or Evil? by Rodney Howard Browne

By: Spencer Holcomb | 21/08/2009 | Religion
Two Timothy 1:3-5 Sometimes we ponder whether there's any way we can leave a mark of the time we spent on earth. How will anybody know we have been here? How will we leave behind something that may benefit society? Will others know of our religion in Jesus Christ? the answer's a powerful yes - it's your youngsters. The way you rear your youngsters ripples down from generation to generation. If you ground your youngsters in godly guidelines through b...
