To Tell The Truth

When you think of the term evangelism, what picture flashes into your mind? A large stadium filled with people? A small booklet with a set of diagrams?

Blessed Poverty

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). This is one of those statements which remind us there are always two sides to the gospel: there has to be an emptying before there can be a filling. There is a pulling down and... Read more →

What Angels Can’t Do

While God has delegated angels to make special pronouncements for Him, He has not given them the privilege of proclaiming the gospel message today. Why this is so, Scripture does not say.

God’s Armor

According to the Bible, life is not a picnic but a battle, an armed struggle against a powerful adversary.

So Paul concludes his magnificent letter... Read more →

Christ, The Ark

Proverbs on Friends

In today’s busy world, friendship often takes a back seat to “more important matters.” Most of us are too busy with family and careers and hobbies to invest in meaningful friendships. Now, if you’re in middle school, friendship is a life or death situation. But once you’re an adult, friendships... Read more →

Promises Promote Purity

“Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1).
