    As a believer, how do I face struggles?

    Do you have the assurance of God’s presence in your life? Did you know that the very presence of God is a gift to believers? Jesus told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they receive power from on high. After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he…

  • Was Jesus just another failed revolutionary?

    There are those who reject Jesus as Messiah and count Him as another person who tried to overthrow Rome and failed. However the facts of His case brought out at trial tell a different story. The accusation certainly came up as Jesus was hauled before the Roman governor. Early in the morning, all the chief…

  • God’s Servant (as described by the prophet Isaiah)

    Perhaps the most notable passage to describe “God’s servant” in the Old Testament is found in Isaiah 53. This is sometimes called “the forbidden chapter” because it is on longer read in synagogues as part of the Haftara. Chapter 53 (in particular) speaks of the “suffering servant.” For many, the passage clearly provides a powerful…

  • Christ the king

    Old Testament promises God promised King David (in 2 Samuel 7:11-13) that He would establish the throne of one of Kind David’s descendants forever. Yet who would this king be, and how could his throne endure forever except it be God Himself who fills this role? There are quite a number of themes developed in…

  • God taught the patriarchs about salvation

    The patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were all taught by God Himself on God’s plan for salvation. Anytime God has something important to teach He takes His time to explain it multiple times in multiple ways so that there can be no mistake. There is perhaps no more important teaching than the teaching of salvation.…

  • The Sabbath is a Sign

    There have always been Saturdays. The creation account in Genesis teaches that God made the world in six days and on the seventh He rested. God instructed Moses to practice it and when writing the Ten Commandments, wrote it in stone for Him (Exodus 20:8). Jews have been staunch defenders of this commandment. It has…

  • Two or Three Witnesses

    The Bible says that “in the mouths of two or three witnesses is the truth established” (Deut 19:15.) When Jesus was teaching, some of the religious teachers of the day challenged Him saying that His testimony was not valid because He was just one person speaking. The law expressed in Deuteronomy doesn’t say that the…

  • The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

    I’ve heard it said by a few people that they can’t know God for sure because of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. This principle states that it is impossible to know the position of the smallest of subatomic particles because any experiment to detect them will disturb them. Fortunately, God is not a subatomic particle. Furthermore,…

  • Why the cross?

    Critics of Christianity sometimes say “what a bloody mess!” Why all the talk of blood? Why the death? Why all of this talk of God (the Father) sending His Son to shed His blood and die on a cross? Why couldn’t the Father simply wipe everyone’s slate clean and tell everybody (men and Angels) that…

  • What is the #1 priority in your life?

    One day while Jesus was ministering to the people, he was asked “What is the most important commandment in the law?” He responded, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all they heart, and with all they soul, and with all they mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is…
