The War Of Israel Versus Hamas And Signs Of The End Times

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 12, 2023

There are two contradictory attitudes among Christians in responding to the war between Israel and Hamas: Pro-Israel or Pro-Hamas. How should we see it objectively and biblically? And what does this war relate to the signs of Jesus's second coming?

The first is pro-Israel. For them, Israel is God's chosen nation, and therefore, they must always support and defend ...read more

What’s It All About? 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

Illus: A test was given to 200 men applying for the same job but only 1 out of 200 came up with the right solution. Each applicant was ...read more

We're On God's Team

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 18, 2023

Reclaiming The Blueprint Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 24, 2024

Many believers feel that something vital is missing from today's church, yearning for the vibrancy seen in the early church of Acts. God is calling us back to that original blueprint, to be a church devoted to Him, to each other, and to the mission of spreading His hope and redemption.

We attend church services, participate in programs, and go through the motions of faith, yet we long for the vibrancy, the power, and the authentic community described in the book of Acts. It’s like we have ...read more
