Having enjoyed the Lord's Supper, we must go on from here living for Christ. When death comes, it will be heaven and therefore gain. Meanwhile, there are two possibilities – to go to the joy of heaven or to labour on here for the good of men and women. God leaves us here to labour on as real Christians serving our fellowman.

The Lord Jesus Christ offers all who come to Him His mercy and goodness as a reward for their desire to make Him Lord and Savior of their life.

This message brings the question of light and darkness into the life we actually live. Christ gives us reason to face...

In Genesis 14:1-24, we witness Abram's rescue of Lot from enemy kings, and Abram's encounter with the King of Salem and the King of Sodom.

As the Israelites stand at the base of Mt. Sinai, Moses again approaches the thick cloud where God was. Previously God had given him the ten commandments (20:1-17).

The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt and ex...

[Note - Reading of Text and Intro cut off] The second part of 3 John contrasts two men, Diotrophes and Demetrius. One loves himself to the point of rejecting others, even those sent to teach and preach the Word. The other has received glowing testimony. Which of these would you imitate? Who is the One Whom we should be imitating? Who comes first in our lives?
