Do we have to forgive others to be forgiven?

Does God require us to forgive other to be forgiven? My answer would be yes.. But not in the way you might think. In the book of Matthew Jesus gave his sermon on the mount. He gave us the Lords prayer, and in it we read. Matthew 6:10-12  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done …

I recently read the story of Micah in the book of Judges, and was having trouble understanding what the story was trying to teach us.

How to effectively fight Satan’s attacks.

The battle against Satan has already been won by Jesus on the cross. But Satan is a lying spirit. He lied to Eve in the garden, and he continues to lie. This is his only weapon, and can be extremely effective. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because …

One of God’s name is I Am. The most powerful name, or word for that matter, in any language is Jesus. Philippians 2:9-10 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, …

Does God still preform miracles?

Has the time for miracles, and mighty acts of God past? Many people would say yes, or point to modern technology as a miracle. Even people of faith have come to the conclusion that, the days of miracles ended, with the original apostles. Acts 10:34 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth …
