Why Should We Witness?

Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Mar 9, 2014

"Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person," (Col. 4:5-6).

Have you ever asked yourself, "Why should I witness?" Several reasons should come to mind. First, because Jesus commands you to: "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit," (Matt. 28:19). Also, Ezek. 3:11 says, "and ...read more

Full Of Eyes

Contributed by Samuel M on Oct 3, 2025

The living creatures’ vision and eyesight is full of God. Having so many eyes is a figurative speech for saying that their vision is full of God. All their focus is only on God, and they do not see anything else. They perceive nothing else; they are solely focused on God.

And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. Revelation 4:6 I wondered why the living creatures had so many eyes, both in front and behind them. I've recently come to realize that the phrase "full of eyes" or ...read more

The Dangers Of Fault Finding Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Apr 24, 2025

Fault finders usually do not see any good in the efforts of other people. They put on the air of perfection and act as if they are incapable of making mistakes. Such people easily offend others through their actions and speeches. They focus on everyone’s faults except theirs.

As Christians, we're called to build each other up, not tear each other down. Yet, fault finding is a subtle sin that can creep into our lives, damaging relationships and hindering our walk with God.
