    "It is well", must have been the theme phrase of this Shunamite woman's life. She knew that there are things in life that we cannot control and yet she demonstrated her faith in God by keeping the standard in the face of extreme trials, knowing that He was in complete control.

    Walking Into Hell With Clean Feet

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 21, 2022
     | 1,958 views

    The last evening Jesus spent with His disciples (John 13-17) had Him showing the act of service towards others by washing their feet. Judas Iscariot's feet were cleaned as well, but his heart remained dirty and unresponsive to this final outreach of compassion as he planned Jesus' betrayal.

    This year (2022) marks the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the film "A Thief in the Night", one of the first Christian films to present the subject of the last days and how it would impact life as we know it. The quality of the film is primitive by today's standards, but ...read more

     | 1,587 views

    Hippolytus was elected as a rival bishop of the Roman Church for a while. For these doctrinal differences and the bishops' relaxing of moral standards, Hippolytus bitterly opposed both bishops and Callistus' successors, Urban and Pontianus.

    What is the "fear of the Lord" all about? How can we display this fear in our lives?

    The word “beginning” means “the first.” If you want godly wisdom, you must put God’s fear first. The fear of the Lord is simply a holy awe of God; it is a reverence for who He is. Without this fear, you cannot attain godly wisdom, for it is the beginning of such wisdom. This verse here tells us ...read more
