    Those who fight and gain the victory with Christ, the Lamb, are described as "the called, the chosen and faithful". This is a study of the significance of these descriptive titles given to the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

    In this passage, we have three titles given as a description of those who, with Christ Jesus, battle with and gain the victory over the Harlot (the Apostate Church; that is, the Roman Catholic Church) and her political allies. In a broader context, these three titles are an accurate description ...read more

    Zeal for the work of the Kingdom of God is a wonderful thing as long as that zeal is put into action according to God’s will and God’s Word.

    The Bible teaches about an instance in which king Hezekiah received a letter from Sennacherib, king of Assyria and his most determined enemy. Sennacherib ordered complete surrender, but not without first diplaying his military prowess and personal pride.

    Letters can be wonderful! Especially when we receive them from a loved one. A son whose far away fighting in a war; a father or mother who writes to tells us the illness has passed; a sister who informs us the baby has finally arrived. But there are also those letters that we would never like to ...read more
