In the past, much was SAID about a European army. NOW, it is being DONE and taking shape. We are presenting little-known developments. But we must be careful that we don’t have the attitude that Christ is delaying His coming.
Peter
Let Us Be Clean and Holy!
As members of the spiritual Body of Christ we must be clean and holy, and we may think many times that we are, but may deceive ourselves. We must recognize our uncleanness and eradicate it with God’s help.
Believing Multitudes Persecute Jesus
Multitudes followed Jesus when He lived here on earth as a human being. The Bible says that Christ was surrounded by an innumerable multitude of supporters. But many who believed in Him and accepted His teachings ceased to walk with Him; they became aggressive; claimed that He was possessed; and were willing to stone Him because of blasphemy. Only very few remained faithful. How could such a turn of events develop? And is it possible that something like this could happen again in our time?
You Shall Not Swear!
The topic of swearing and giving an oath is not as easily answered as some may think. Many concepts abound, pro and con. The Bible tells us that God swears; that angels swear; that righteous people in the Old Testament have sworn, and that people in the Millennium will swear. But don’t Jesus and James tell us that we are not to swear at all? However, some claim that Jesus and Paul have sworn. What is the answer?
Conquer Our Obstacles
We encounter many obstacles in our lives on a daily basis which come in various forms. How can we overcome them and in what ways can we learn from the examples we read about in the Bible?
The Girdle of Truth
We are told in Ephesians 6,14, to have our waist girded with truth. This admonition includes two important aspects for our fight with Satan, which we will examine in this sermon: What is truth, and how can we wear the truth as a girdle?
Did Jesus Resort to Violence?
Did Jesus approve of killing in war? Would He support the changed purpose of Armistice Day to that of Veteran’s Day? Would He agree with the idea of bringing weapons to church services? Did He ever commit violence towards anyone? What can WE do to protect ourselves? Are guns the answer?
Misunderstandings Regarding the Resurrection and Salvation
One can easily misunderstand the Bible if one quotes Scriptures out of context or ignores important statements. For example, how was Jesus Christ resurrected, and what kind of body will a true Christian have in the resurrection? Will many or just very few inherit salvation? Is it true that most will end up in the lake of fire? Or is it correct that today, just about everyone is called for the Kingdom of God? Is there sin which cannot and will not be forgiven? In what way will all Israel be saved?
Fight Our Fears
There are many different types of fear that people all over the world suffer from. Do we have a fear and is there anything that we fear in particular? Do we fear God and how do we fear Him? There are examples in the Bible of those who had fear but how were they able to overcome it?
Angels Among Us?
What is the role of angels regarding Christians and their children? And what is the Church of God’s responsibility towards angels?
