    Suppose some organization or person filmed your every action and thought. Would you like the film? Could you bear to watch it? Could you handle the truth about yourself? How are you at facing the truth?

    Jesus Christ is coming again, that is certain. The midnight call may be heard at any moment. And when that call takes place we will be going home. But sadly very few Christians are thrilled about the imminence of his return. Many don’t want His return.

    If you want joy! What a ridiculous premise! Of course you want joy. Of course we want to be happy. Of course all of us want to feel deep satisfaction with life. We want joy. That's just self-evident. The trouble is, we don't know how to get that joy. We don't understand where joy comes from, how ...read more

    Long before the British royalty, the Bible tells the story of Israel’s royalty. Yet, many of us know so much less about Israel’s royal line than England’s royal line.
