As long as Solomon remained humble and upheld the law of God, the Lord was with him and continued to give him wisdom to govern Israel. God had told Moses that all of Israel?s rulers should daily read His law and statutes to keep their minds focused. But after having built the temple, Solomon began making choices based on ambition for power and riches that un […]

The Hebrews, approximately six hundred thousand men plus women and children, and all their livestock, left Egypt. Instead of just going out to worship the Lord for a few days and then going back to Egypt, they continued south toward the Red Sea. The Lord led them by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire by night. When Pharaoh heard that the I […]

At baptism, we receive additional strength through the Holy Spirit to face the temptations of Satan. The Holy Spirit also imparts spiritual gifts for service at our baptism. Therefore, we can claim by faith the power of the Holy Spirit given to us at baptism to overcome every temptation. We have also been equipped through the gifts of the Spirit to serve Chr […]

We should all be very good at waiting because we have had so much practice. At home, we wait for our food to finish cooking, for the clothes to dry, and for the serviceman to repair whatever item needs fixing. Outside the home, we wait in line at the market, the bank, the doctor?s office, and many other places. And we are not the only ones. The Bible is repl […]

I have experienced many miracles in my life, but the clearest one occurred while my husband and I took a snowmobile trip with friends on Mount Shasta, California, United States. We drove along the power line up the mountain because the trees had been cleared, and it made for a great ride. Our three-year-old daughter rode on the snowmobile with me, and we wer […]

When, under the temptations of Satan, men fall into error, and their words and deportment are not Christlike, they may not realize their condition, because sin is deceptive and tends to deaden the moral perceptions. But through self-examination, searching of the Scriptures, and humble prayer, they will, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, be enabled to see their […]

As the infallible revelation of God?s will, the Bible presents Heaven?s plan for our salvation. It exposes satanic delusions and reveals the devil?s deceptions. Think about it for a moment. What would we know about the plan of salvation without the Bible? How much, if anything, would we understand about the life and teachings of Jesus without the Word of God […]

God wants us to believe what is hard for us to believe. God?s love for us is beyond our comprehension (John 3:16). He wants to spend eternity with us in a loving relationship, in a perfect, beautiful environment. That is the intended result of the everlasting covenant (Revelation 21:1?27; 22:1?21). God?s remnant are those who enter into His covenant and who […]

God is loving, kind, long-suffering, merciful, gentle, good, and intimately concerned with the details of your life. He is infinitely bigger than we could ever dream possible, so we are unable to understand everything He does. Our failure to comprehend God does not mean He is bad. It means His goodness is beyond our comprehension. . . . The story of Scriptur […]

The promises God has given us in His Word are of enormous significance for our life as Christians. The apostle Peter writes that through God's promises we will receive all we need for our Christian life and that thereby we partake of God's nature. We could also say that through the biblical promises God has given us His grace and strength and has g […]
