We all sin for we are not perfect.  What about recurring sins?  What can we do to conquer them?  The Bible gives us valuable advice, including examples of those who struggled with this very issue and how they overcame.

It is decreed for man once to die. But is this true for everybody? What happens after death? What is the truth regarding the soul and the spirit in man?

The objective of nature is to reveal God’s plan and our part in it. We must observe what we are surrounded by with the knowledge that the character of God can be seen in all that He has created.

Our words and thoughts have a huge impact on how we create our environment. The words we choose influence others. God the Father and Jesus Christ choose their words in the wisest way possibly, so they could heal the world again. Do we also choose words to heal ourselves and others?

There are several reasons why the command to keep the Feast of Tabernacles is so important and why there is so much positivity associated with it.

This Feast can fill us full of hope and optimism as we have a marvellous future to look forward to with none of the hopelessness that so many in the world can suffer from.   A vision of the coming Kingdom of God is such an exciting prospect!  Let us have an attitude of thanksgiving to the great God for this marvellous opportunity.   And let us all make the most of this Feast!

God commanded to assemble this night as well as during the entire time of the Feast of Tabernacles and the Last Great Day. We are also told to stay in “temporary dwellings” during that time. What is the symbolic meaning behind this command?

The Day of Atonement (September 28, 2020) pictures unique events in human history and shows us how the entire world will have access to God to reach its potential to be saved and inherit salvation. While this day refers mainly to collective reconciliation between God and man, it does not exclude the role of those who have already been begotten by God’s Spirit in this life. The rituals which were to be carried out on this day in Old Testament times show us what Christ has already accomplished and how He will deal with Satan; and they point out how the world can become at-one with God.

We have much to be thankful for with all the blessings God has given us, even in times like these,  and He will continue to IF we obey Him.  In the end, it’s not the material things that will save us, but it’s the spiritual blessings that matter the most.

We fight a spiritual adversary that knows our greatest weaknesses and exploits them as much as he is able. As a strategist, Satan is second to none in his ability to deceive and lead man away from God. We must rely on the sight given to us through God’s Holy Spirit if we have any chance of overcoming sin.

God makes a promise to His people, that He will not forsake them. How can we understand this promise and apply it in our own lives? What do we need to do to assure that we will never be forsaken?

Being a Christian inherently involves conflict with the world, which increasingly rejects God. In the battle we fight against evil, what do we need to do to assure our victory?

The world is not watching, nor is it prepared for what is about to happen! A time of overwhelming trouble and dreadful tribulation approaches, but who understands this? Do you and will you be among the very few who are ready?

The Feast of Trumpets (on September 19, 2020) has much symbolic meaning for us. It includes a message of God for the end time, which must be proclaimed today by His watchful servants in blowing trumpets loudly and clearly.  And the message will be proclaimed! In addition to serious warnings, it includes the good news of the return of Jesus Christ; the coming rule of God on earth; and our entrance in God’s eternal Kingdom.

We are not to bear false witness, but do we by allowing our thoughts to be influenced by false accusations?

It isn’t enough in God’s eyes that we simply rely on our own intuitions as a means of drawing closer to Him.  Self-will and self-determination alienate us from the Father.  Through the hierarchy of the Church, as initiated and led by Christ, we have a bridge to grow in the knowledge of God the Father.
