Is The Best Yet To Come

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 14, 2018

Even if that phrase is accurate for a Christian do we really understand what that may look like in our life?

Everyone likes to use the phrase the best is yet to come. If you are not a Christian the worst is yet to come. Your life may be golden here, but in the end your life will be Hell for eternity. Indeed, the best for a Christian is to be in Heaven so the best is yet to come. However, that does not ...read more

Obey God

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015

When we obey God by doing things such as loving an enemy, people will be amazed because it is not the logical thing to do. Obeying God is the Christian thing to do. When we obey God, we don't know what the result will be, but God will bless our obedience

Acts 5:27-42 is a story about obeying God regardless of the consequences imposed by mankind. Like Peter, we as Christians are to obey the Lord rather than man in situations where the two are in conflict. For example, when obeying our political leaders would cause us to do something that goes ...read more
