    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,089 views

    Most people believe they will go to Heaven when they die. It is the great future promise of God to every human being. However, Jesus said He was the only way to get there.

    Some believe that the Earth may be the future location of Heaven (Romans 8:19-22, Matthew 5:5, Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:10,13). Others believe Heaven is a planet located somewhere in the Universe or even in the Sun! In actuality, Heaven exists outside the dimensions of both space and time. What ...read more

     | 1,965 views

    We cringe when we hear about shooting the wounded; but how many times have we seen a brother or sister in Christ who was suffering spiritually, and then we shot him or her down with our words of judgment and condemnation?

    I want to open with an illustration. On May 21, 2004, Captain Rogelio Maynulet of the United States Army shot an unnamed Iraqi who was wounded in a chase.(1) What was his reasoning? He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more

    The Tabernacle occupies a prominent place in the Bible. It is essential to learn the meaning of its structure to understand the books of Hebrews and Revelation to help teach spiritual truth and explain the ways of God.

    The Tabernacle is 'mishkan' in Hebrew and means 'dwelling-place' where God chose His Shekinah Glory to dwell. The word 'Shekinah' comes from the Hebrew word 'shakan,' which means to reside or permanently stay. The Tabernacle was a portable tent/sanctuary in the ...read more
