People who can be characterized as either agnostics or atheists are skeptical, or do not believe, that Christians and, perhaps, others who believe in the existence of God, will actually have an eternal (i.e., everlasting) life. Although there are many scriptures in the Bible that support the belief that Christians will live forever, most, […]
In the Bible, Revelation 20:7-9 indicates that during the so-called “Last Days” of the world immediately following the millennial (1,000-year) reign of Jesus Christ after He returns to the earth, Gog and Magog will be threatening to attack Jerusalem (“the beloved city”).

Many people flounder around in life, unable to satisfactorily make important decisions that determine the course and the quality of their life. Often this inability is because they lack adequate guidance.
But what if people could get the guidance they need – from God? We will consider several Bible scriptures which indicate that people can […]
Few, if any, normal parents would think it is not necessary to teach their children correct moral values and behavior. However, a number of otherwise normal parents avoid teaching their children about God. Probably, the primary reason why many of these parents take this approach is because they either do not believe in God […]
Before we consider what the Bible says about pride and humility, we want to make clear the meaning of these two terms when we mention them in this article.
Webster’s Dictionary has several definitions of pride. The primary definitions are “an unduly high opinion of oneself; exaggerated self-esteem; conceit.” We would add that such pride […]
