God, gold and guns.
I was recently listening to a radio talk show, and the topic of the show was the bad economy, and how many experts are predicting it to get much worse. As Christians we know, that in the end times there is going to be chaos, as the world’s political and economic systems begin to break …
God’s ways are not man’s ways.
I studied the Bible in the past and thought, much of what I was reading could never be applied in daily life, it was not meant to be taken literally. But I have changed my mind on this subject. As children, we take literally what our parents tell us. As we grow older we learn to become …
God and healing.
Does God still heal? Or did healing pass with the early church and the time of the Apostles? Is modern medicine and technology God’s gift to mankind, to heal the sick and afflicted? The prophet Isaiah, looking centuries into the future wrote this of Jesus. “As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so …
God’s gifts to the believer.
God gives many gifts in this life, to those who believe in his Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus has provided countless blessings to those that believe in him. ” But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him. That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which …
Living without fear or worry.
The greatest gift the believer in Jesus Christ receives is the gift of the Holy Spirit and of eternal life. But many other wonderful gifts are given without merit or charge to those who receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Does God promise Christian’s wealth?
Many televangelists, and Christian denominations, promise riches and wealth to their followers. They explain God wants his people to be materially well off, the streets of heaven are paved with pure gold, and if we give, we will receive ten fold back again. Is this what the Bible really teaches on the subject of giving, and …
Christians and military service.
Can a Christian, in good conscience, serve in the military? If we are fighting against evil and tyranny it would seem like it is appropriate or even essential, but what does the Bible say about the subject. In his sermon on the mount, Jesus spoke of a time when it was appropriate, in Math. 5.38, he …
Haiti earthquake and God’s wrath.
Is God punishing Haiti by sending an earthquake to their country? I have heard this proposed already by religious leaders, who should be ashamed of themselves. Rom. 3.23 states, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” We all deserve to die, ” For the wages of sin is death, but …
Did God create hell?
Did God create a hell, where sinners are punished for all eternity ? “God is love,” 1 John 4.8, would it make sense for a God, who is the very definition of love to create such a place? In Genesis, God created the heavens and the earth, and he looked upon his creation and, “behold, …
