Therefore we are always confident we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:6-7 When you are faced with difficult situations and problems, do you trust God to make everything work together for good? Jesus came to confirm that God loves you unconditionally. His care, help and compassion are unquestionable. If you are sure of this, then you will be assured that Christ will not allow anything to harm you. He wants what’s best for you. With this assurance you can trust God unconditionally in everything you undertake.

“The heavens and the earth will pass away, but My words will not pass.” –Luke 21:33 In the USA, the day after Thanksgiving is known as “Black Friday,” and is one of the busiest shopping days of the entire year. Consumers flock to shopping malls in great throngs, looking for the best deals, hurrying from store to store to buy Christmas gifts for everyone on their list. At times the Black Friday atmosphere is so intense that people get manhandled in the frenzied rush to buy. However, the consumeristic secular culture is a “beast” (see Dn 7:7) which continually devours...

Many married couples have a strict law that each one should keep their faith and prayers private. Break the law. In our secular humanistic “culture of death,” it is not...

“Under the influence of the wine…” –Daniel 5:2 At this time of year, the world is obsessed with “Holiday” shopping events for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The Church, however, has a different focus. The liturgical year comes to a close this Saturday, and a new Church Year begins with Advent this Sunday. The Church focuses upon being prepared for the comings of Jesus at Christmas, at the hour of our death, and in His Second Coming. Tomorrow, in the USA, people celebrate the holiday of Thanksgiving with feasting and the drinking of alcohol. Some of these gatherings will feature “drunken show”...

“The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall…break in pieces all these kingdoms and put an end to them, and it shall stand forever.” –Daniel 2:44 The vision Daniel interpreted has been the pattern of history (Dn 2:31ff). Great kingdom after great kingdom has been destroyed. Even the Temple and the city of God, Jerusalem, were destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D. (Lk 21:6). Jesus prophesied that the fall of Jerusalem would be a prefigurement of the end of the world. “The present heavens and earth are reserved by God’s word for fire; they are kept...
