Firstly, what does the Bible say about the word ‘angel’ and their purpose? The Bible word ‘angel’ means ‘messenger’. The angels are God’s messengers. They were present at creation and are at work for God in the world. They are immortal beings and cannot sin. We are not told how many angels there are, but […]
There are many reasons I believe that Jesus will be on earth again. He will come in the future to the earth, and reign over the whole world as king. It is my personal faith that this will occur sooner rather than later. Jesus himself said – Revelation 22:12 – “Behold, I am coming soon! […]
Our heavenly Father wants us to develop a spiritual mind to replace our “fleshly-thinking” mind (Romans 8:5-8). This is doable through dedication to reading God’s Word, thinking about it regularly and acting upon it (Psalms 119:105; 2 Timothy 3:14-17). Jesus knew the Old Testament Scriptures extremely well. In fact, the contents of prayer he taught […]

Does “one God” mean that this God is the only true God and all other gods are non-existent? Certainly, most Jews, Christians and Muslims […]
There are many religions in this world, most claiming to be “the True” religion. How can we determine what God’s true message is? The apostle James states: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans (or fatherless) and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from […]
Webster’s Dictionary defines prayer as: “A solemn and humble approach to Divinity in word or thought usually involving beseeching, petition, confession, praise or thanksgiving.” Prayer, in some form, has been a part of the religious life of most cultures that have existed down through time.
