In Revelation 20:15 we’re told that anyone who is not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. What is this book of life? When and how can one’s name be written in it? What can you do to make sure your name is there?

Why did God command the Israelites to dwell in booths? What spiritual lessons can we learn from their example?
Actually, there are deep lessons we can learn from this example about the transitoriness of our physical lives, and how that should influence how we view life in the flesh and our relationship to God, and the prospect of being granted the gift of eternal life in his kingdom.

The time from the Feast of Trumpets through the Feast of Atonement is ten days, which pictures a period of God’s judgment and also repentance toward God for mankind to occur in conjunction with the end of this age and the beginning of a new age under the reign of Jesus Christ on the earth.

The Apostle Paul warned that “in the last days perilous times will come” (II Timothy 3:1). Jesus warned that as the time for his second coming approaches “because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:12). Certainly we are living today in increasingly “perilous times,” and witnessing increasingly pervasive lawlessness of historical proportions.
Unfortunately, popular “Christianity,” while historically having some moderating influence on the natural human tendancy toward lawlessness, and encouraging moral restraint, has at the same time tended to encourage lawlessness through erroneous teachings regarding the laws of God. One rather common misunderstanding is the idea that Jesus “fulfilled the law” for us, so we don’t have to, although the idea may not necessarily be stated in such stark terms.
This has been by no means necessarily a teaching of all professing Christian Churches or ministers, but is nevertheless a misunderstanding among many who view themselves as Christians, that has been fostered at least partly by doctrines taught within their churches.
What is the real meaning of Jesus’ statement concerning fulfilling the law, and how does that affect your obligations concerning God’s word?

Have you considered the question of what is the foundation of your faith? Or what is the proper foundation of godly faith according to Scripture? The faith of many is on a weak or flawed foundation. It may be on a human personality, on false teachings, on confidence in one’s own opinions or rationalizations, on popular opinion, or what others among their friends and aquaintances believe. It may be in an organization, perhaps a Church.
The faith of one who would be a genuine disciple of Jesus Christ must not be founded on any of the things mentioned above.
In our message titled “The Foundation of Godly Faith” by Rod Reynolds is explained clearly from the Scriptures what your faith must be founded on and how having the right foundation is essential to your relationship with God and how it is of benefit to you spiritually, and how you may go about building and maintaining your faith on the proper foundation.
