There is no doubt that as a Christian we are constantly badgered by satanic forces and, in effect, we are at war with Satan.  He uses an array of techniques to frustrate our effort to live up to Godly ways.  What can we do to combat his intrigues?  Our future depends heavily on our response.

Why does God command us today to stay “in booths” for the entire time of the Feast of Tabernacles? What is the symbolic significance of staying in booths? And what is the meaning of “booths” for us today?

The Day of Atonement pictures the removal of Satan and reconciliation or “at-one-ment” between God and mankind. Why and how was Satan successful in alienating man from God? What are his tactics and strategies? How can we conquer Satan already now?

This third installment discussed the 3rd chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. What is the law that was “added” 430 years after God’s promises to Abraham? Why was it added “because of transgressions”? Why does Paul say that we are not justified by works, while James says that we are? What is Judaism or the “Jews’ religion”? And what is the practical difference between our faith in Christ and the faith of Christ living in us?

The “Day of the Lord” is closely related to the Feast of
Trumpets. It is our commission today to warn the world of that soon-coming time
of God’s Wrath. Most won’t listen now–but they may remember later. God promises
those who do hear and act accordingly physical protection during that terrible
time. Let us examine what God says about the seven trumpets which will be blown
during the Day of the Lord.

While the Word of God speaks about the future and very clearly reveals the hope we hold, how does that knowledge factor into our daily living? Is it only the ultimate future that holds promise for us, or can we legitimately plan for and have “dreams” for this present time?

Fellowship involves the sharing of interests, ideals and experiences, and these concepts are clearly mentioned and explained in the Bible. Fellowship involves each one of us, and how we participate is important–even to the point of determining our future in God’s Kingdom!

Weakness, measured by the standards of this world, makes the strength of God perfect in the life of a Christian. Brains, brawn and all kinds of strengths that we may have, are all from God. God’s chosen people are described as the weak, foolish and base people of the world. Yet to God, these weaknesses are counted as strengths when one turns to Him for strength.

In this installment, we are presenting an in-depth discussion of the second chapter of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Rather than trying to say that the law of the Ten Commandments was abolished, Paul addresses how we can obtain justification.
