Nothing Will Be Impossible For Them
The accomplishments of modern science have brought into focus nightmare scenarios that were unthinkable in earlier times. The Bible prophesied that in these last days, technological knowledge would increase–but not necessarily for the good of mankind. The question whether God approves or disapproves of certain scientific “progress” rarely enters the mind of man.

To Tame The Tongue
What should we do when we are in a situation with somebody, where what we say, how we say it and how we act can either determine a positive or negative outcome? Since we need to focus on a positive outcome, there are several principles that can be applied to do just that, so we can be a shining example to those we converse with.
There Is Hope!
The Bible offers all of mankind the only true future–the only real hope that can have expectation of attainment. However, the vast majority live their lives apart from God with only a hope in this life. The Gospel reveals hope for eternal life in the glory of the Family of God for those who turn to God and embrace the future salvation He promises.
Three Times Seven
In the book of John, Christ identified Himself seven times as the God of the Old Testament, by using the words, “I am,” in combination with certain godly characteristics. The book of John also records seven miracles performed by Christ prior to His death, and the four gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have preserved Christ’s seven last sayings on the cross. What do all these passages mean for us today?
Behold the Man!
Jesus Christ did seemingly incredible things, and we may lose sight of both how and why He was able to do what He did. Understanding that Jesus Christ temporarily gave up His glorious existence to be born as a man is an absolutely vital part of our faith. We can more fully grasp this truth–that Jesus Christ came in the flesh–by closely examining the Biblical account of His life.
Interpersonal Relationships
In this day and age, it seems to be difficult to have good relationships with other people. Friendships break up, marriages end in divorce, nations fight against nations–and everyone thinks he is right and the others are wrong. No wonder that there is so much strife in the world, and in our own personal lives. But it does not have to be this way. You and I CAN have, build and preserve good relationships with others. Here is how.

To Be Spiritually Minded
How we speak is shaped by many factors, but it can be an indication of where we come from–a kind of geographical marker. Consider as well that the way we think can be even more telling! What goes on within our minds identifies us to God–whether we serve God or Satan!
Abounding in the Work of the Lord
Accepting the calling of a Christian involves an obligation to work towards the righteous goals of God. God’s plan involves the establishment of His kingdom here on earth, and there are many jobs involved in bringing that to fruition. As Christians, we all need to be empowered with the fact that God calls us for a purpose, knowing that we each have something individually to offer towards establishing His Kingdom. In God’s eyes, even small contributions are significant if they are performed genuinely and from the heart. Each of us, no matter what we have materially, or what specific skills we have, are able to contribute in a significant manner towards God’s cause.
