A person cannot truly seek the Kingdom or its King until God changes something in his/her mind, and simply hearing the words of the gospel does not necessarily accomplish that.

Jesus said: If His church were to exist at the end—and surely it is because He says that the gates of the grave would not prevail against it—then He would give His church what it needed most of all to survive and endure that period.

Trials should produce growth not meant to make us fall. You evaluate your actions, your mistakes, your sins. You repent, fast, and pray. You cry out to God. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been proved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him

Our sins are our responsibility, and we bear them unless a substitute is provided to bear them for us, which Jesus Christ did. God will bring all those alive during the Millennium to salvation without Satan being around, even as He is perfecting the first fruits now with Satan around. God is sovereign, and thus neither limited by Satan's presence nor dependent on it.

Failure to count the cost of following Christ results in an incomplete life. "Holding fast to the word of life" is part of the solution for finishing one's life successfully. If we do not, we have no basis for faith. Our faith would be in ourselves, not in God.

As a faithful Levite, you were given Stewardship to tend and mend the Temple and its grounds. Despite how things look on the surface, our worldview is relatively narrow compared to God's.

God has called us to be merciful to those who are undesirable in Society’s eyes and guilty of sin in His (God's) Eyes—redeeming them from the death penalty and setting them on the path toward eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

Could Self Centeredness Hinder Our Salvation?

Jesus Christ was the Lamb of God who gave His life and shed His blood so that we may be saved from eternal death by paying the penalty for our sins. Through faith in His sacrifice, we receive forgiveness of sin and come into a right relationship with God.

Who Can Deliver Us from This Body of Death? 

Where there are the "little foxes" in our vineyards, we must take action to seek them out and remove them from our daily lives. If the root is holy, so are the branches." God has called us to be holy, and when it comes to holiness, God does "sweat the small stuff"-and so must we! 

The family is society's basic building block or unit; thus, the stability of the community depends on the stability of the families that comprise it.

Our Savior's response teaches us that the promises found in the psalm are not automatic and unconditional. You shall not tempt the LORD your God, meaning God cannot be forced to act on our behalf. He does not take kindly to humans testing Him to see if He will respond. Save truthful repentance, we will reap what we sow.

Faith remembers truth but also responds emotionally to a wonderful, dynamic, gracious, and powerful Personality who is our Friend. So, all we must do is to follow His lead, and we will find rest from all our burdens in His Kingdom.

Super-righteousness is a misguided response that arises from our judgment that we are having all this trouble because we are being punished.

The very essence of God is love. Thus, we must make changes in our lives to conform to God's standard so that our prayers will be fully accepted by Him. God expects us to reflect His love in everything we do. And He wants peace.

We must judge because making choices and acting upon them requires judgment. if we really look inside another person deeply and clearly enough, we begin to see ourselves reflected in them. Once we recognize this, it tempers our judgment of the other and automatically activates the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Carefully obeying every word matters. We should live by every word of God. All of it reveals Him-and our nature as well. The more we know of Him and ourselves, the greater the chance of obedience.

God has called us. He has opened our minds, and so when we turn to Him, He will remove the veil, taking away the blindness so that the relationship can be more intense, pure, and trusting. That is His promise: He will remove the blindness.

We cannot achieve our goal without Jesus Christ, our sovereign God, Creator, Savior, and High Priest, by whom we are saved because He is alive and oversees our lives. He supplies every need for salvation and sustains us along the way.

An office is not a place from which to exercise power but a position from which to exercise service. The authority is certainly there since God gives it. The office is given, not earned. If we trust Him (God), we must follow His instructions.

We must strive to overcome the fear of death. Christ, having been raised from the dead, has become the first fruit of those who have fallen asleep. So also, in Christ, all shall we be made alive.

We will need Christ to wash our feet to make us completely clean again. None of us can carry unforgiven sins and remain part of the body of Christ. It is so imperative that we seek His mercy and help to repent each day.
