Have you ever thought about why God made galaxies which even today remain unknown and invisible to mankind? For thousands of years, the distant stars and galaxies existed, but until the development in recent years of more powerful telescopes, no one knew they were even there. Why did He make them? There are likely many reasons, yet each of them declares His…

The impact of the Bible in the history of man is remarkable. Most books from the ancient past are hardly ever read. Yet, the Bible, though thousands of years old, remains at the top of the list of best sellers each year. This fact alone should help us marvel that our educational system has removed it from our classrooms. In many places,…

The truths found in the Bible never become obsolete. They speak to us just as timely as they did to those who first read them. Truth simply does not change, and each of us has an obligation to ensure that our treasury of eternal truths is shared with others. This truth is so clearly stated in Paul’s epistle to Timothy, his son…

The very thought of having Jesus as our mediator is overwhelming. The amazing distance between Jehovah God and a human seems like a chasm which cannot be crossed. Yet, Jesus did this very thing! He emptied Himself and took on the form of feeble, helpless mortals. He lived among us and having returned to heaven, He received the glory He once had.…

In a major decisive battle, the Greeks defeated the Persians and one of the victorious soldiers, Pheidippides, ran more than 20 miles from the battle site to Athens. Arriving in the city, he proclaimed, “We have won!” and then fell dead. You may have…

The imagery God uses to describe His nature and the way He works on this earth is so remarkable. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus used the imagery of God’s careful attention to the lily of the field. His clothing of a lily whose “lifespan” is so brief is God’s assurance He will cloth us. In that sermon, He talked of…

As the pope’s visit to America approaches, he has announced that this year local priests can absolve individuals of the sin of abortion. Prior to this announcement, forgiving this sin was restricted to those of a higher rank in the Catholic church. It is difficult for many to understand these matters. The Roman Catholic church teaches that there are “levels” of sin.…
