The Thessalonians and the Coming of the Lord

Actively Waiting on the Day of the Lord
Waiting on the Lord in the Christian sense is not a passive or idle thing. It is not about killing or passing time. Waiting is full of end time significance, and, as the scripture implies, even has an impact on the Lord’s timetable.

From Babylon to America – The Perils of Nationalism Infecting God’s People
Babylon lives on in the great nations of today, and its integration into Christianity in America is evident. As Christianity adapted

Stop. Slow down, Pray and Think
Don’t let the busy rushing schedule of the world take you away from God. The cares of this life can destroy us if we
let it. Slow down and make sure you are not neglecting your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We are reminded in this article to pace our life with God not with the demands of life.
Blessed for His Namesake – The Value of True Worship
