Every word of God Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. A classic Bible passage often quoted but seldom applied! What is the word of God? How does one live by it? And why is it important to do so? If we are to live by every word then it is important to know what those words are.
Make Your Calling and Election Sure! All things are provided to ensure your salvation. The Apostle Peter said that God has provided everything you need to make your calling and election sure. If you do these things you shall never fall.
The Sacrifice While on earth was Christ's sacrifice merely giving up His physical life albeit in a cruel and torturous way? Were His earnest tears and prayers solely for courage to bear a terrible physical death? What was the Father’s role? What was the price Christ – and His Father - paid so that we could attain eternal life?

Adversaries Jacob's Trouble (Part 3 of 3) The term 'Jacob's Trouble occurs only once in the entire Bible. It was used in a prophecy by Jeremiah thousands of years ago. It is a term that is often used out of context and has confused many. Obviously it is a significant event linked to a specific time, but What does it mean? Who does it affect? And when will it occur?
Israel restored Ever since going into captivity the people of Israel have looked forward to a time of restoration - but they did not know when it would take place. It was not until after Christ had died and his disciples had received the Spirit he had promised to them, that they understood who the true Israelites are and to what Kingdom they will be restored.
Riders in the Sky Two white horses, two agendas, will you be deceived? And what do those four horsemen of Revelation really represent?
Chasing Shadows Shadow of Things to Come (Part 1 of 3) Ancient Israel had a way of life that set it apart from other nations. Its culture foreshadowed the future revealing God's plan of salvation. The material blessing promised to Abraham's descendents was a mere shadow of the spiritual blessing that is to benefit all of mankind.

Filling All In All What did Paul mean when he referred to Christ as ‘him who fills all in all’? Who is to be filled with what? And how is it to be done?
The Kingdom Jesus often spoke in parables about a Kingdom. Was he referring to a real Kingdom, or were these merely stories to keep his audience amused?

Your Inheritance Would you believe me if I said that there is an inheritance waiting for you? One that surpasses anything you can imagine. Who died that you might receive this inheritance?
Will The Dead Live Again? Will the grave give up its dead like the Bible says? Will those who died thousands of years ago live again? How will they be raised? Resurrection is no mystery for those who are prepared to search the Bible for answers.
Lesson from Lazarus Millions, if not billions, have never known the true God or His son Jesus Christ. Clearly they have not been 'saved'. But are they 'lost'? What is their fate?
A Time to Change Although the change from a caterpillar to a butterfly is magnificent to behold, it is not as spectacular as the changes God has planned for you.
Burning our Incense Before God God required incense to be burnt ceremonially on an altar before the mercy seat in the Tabernacle. It was to be burnt day and night for all of Israel's generations. Does this have any implications for Christians today?

An End To Enmity (Part 1 of 3) Why is there so much hatred in this world? This negative emotion eats away like cancer causing resentment, animosity and hostility often leading to violence, murder or even war. Where does it come from? Will we ever be able to rid ourselves of this powerfully destructive emotion?
Sorrow No More (Part 2 of 3) Why is there so much sorrow and pain in this world? And why is life such a disappointing misery for so many? The answers to these questions can be found in the very first book of the Bible.
Cursed is the Ground (Part 3 of 3) “Cursed is the ground for your sake” – words spoken six thousand years ago – do they have any significance for us today? Is there any connection between the environmental problems of this age and the curse mentioned in Genesis 3:17?
