The Bethany home is one of the most sacred spots in Palestine. There it was that Jesus found a shelter of love amid enmities and antagonisms. There his heart found rest after being wearied and hurt by the unbelief, criticism, and hypocrisy of the rulers. It is a joy to think of the comfort that he found in that sweet home, that there was one spot where he was sure of love, and where he knew that no hostile eye was upon him and no unfriendly ear was listening to catch him in his words. There were two sisters in that home. Both of them loved the Master, and both were dear to him. Each showed ...

El exceso de impiedad que ha derribado las riberas de la civilidad y la modestia comunes, al principio llevó mis pensamientos a estos temas siguientes. Los espíritus de los hombres están fermentados por el ateísmo, y sus vidas están manchadas por el libertinaje. No sé cómo llamarlos sino paganos bautizados. Estoy seguro de que las inundaciones del pecado han aumentado, hasta llegar a un diluvio. Hay una generación entre nosotros de la que puedo decir que milita contra la religión. Son tan excesivamente profanos que consideran que la Biblia es una fábula, y se burlarían de toda ...

Stephen Kaung goes through seven visions of Christ that are revealed in the book of Revelation. All of the prophecies given are meant to bring us to the testimony of Jesus (Revelation 19:10). The many and varied details are simply part of the background to the sight of Christ. God also wants us to not only see Christ but to see Him in light of our current time, the end of days. With vision, we will no longer "cast off restraint" (Proverbs 29:18) but will instead be transformed and enabled to help bring in His kingdom.

God’s norm is abundant living. That was his intention for man. When Adam and Eve sinned, they gave power to the thief who only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. They forfeited their firstborn birthright of inherited abundance. Adam and Eve could not restore the damage they caused when they despised their inheritance. Only God could. Jesus came to restore our abundant life! He exchanged our damaged inherited state for his abundant one.

January 1 Jeremiah 6:17 I set a watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. KJV When I created you, I created you in order, not chaos. When you are feeling or sensing that chaotic stress in the mind or spirit, stop and take a moment to withdraw with Me. I will still your soul.

All things are possible to him that believes, only because I am able.

Though suffering often leaves us feeling isolated, God invites us into the community of the Trinity and offers us many companions in scripture. We experience loneliness alongside the exiled Israelites. We journey with David as he pleads to God for rescue. With Asaph we confess our unbelief. With Job we learn to lament. With Mary and Martha we learn to wait. In God's community, there is sweet fellowship, even in the hardest of circumstances. Journey in this book with Wendy Alsup through her story of suffering, and more importantly, with the God who walks with us in the wilderness.

Christians, rightly called “people of the cross,” look to Jesus’s death and resurrection as the central points of his earthly mission. But in order to understand more fully the person and work of Christ, it’s important for believers to fix their minds on his entire ministry — his life, death, resurrection, and ongoing ministry today — and not solely on his work on the cross.

"The fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law."

For generations, churches and families have used Advent wreaths to help prepare for celebrating the Lord's birth at Christmas. The evergreen wreath symbolizes eternal life and includes four candles—typically three purple and one pink, with a white candle in the middle that symbolizes the purity of Christ. Various traditions assign different topics to each candle, and the candles are usually given names to remind us of the good news of Christ's birth.

When I tell you the Bible is your biography, I am actually saying that you are God, and I mean it. We are told in the 82nd psalm: "I say, 'You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like any prince.'" So I mean exactly what the psalmist said: that you are gods. But man has such a strange concept of the word "God".

The Bible tells a singular and unified story.
