Hope

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Dec 28, 2004

As Christians we can see the world physically decaying and spiritually degenerating with this sin. However, we do not need to be pessimistic, because we have a blessed hope. Brighter days indeed lie ahead for the whole creation.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: A number of years ago researchers performed an experiment to see the affect hope has on those undergoing hardship. Two sets of laboratory rats were placed in separate tubs of water. The researchers left one set in the water, and found that within an hour they had all ...read more

Power To Succeed Series

Contributed by Barry L. Davis on May 2, 2013
