    The evidence of our Christian sincerity is demonstrated in the way we treat one another. God's word to His people is that we would love our neighbor as ourselves. Zechariah confronts this matter with a reminder of Israel's historical experience.

    In Zechariah 7 a delegation came from the Jews in Bethel asking the question: “Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?”i During the 70 years of exile in Babylon, the Jews had been observing four fasts in memory of the destruction of Jerusalem. The most ...read more

    Christ builds His church and Satan cannot prevail because he does not have the right. The church has the authority to defeat Satan.

    Jesus said, "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it" (Matthew 16:18, NIV). In biblical times, city gates were fortified to protect against enemy armies. The gates were the only entrance to the city, and anyone who wanted to enter had to seek permission from ...read more
