History illustrates the awesome outworking of initial events from when the LORD has declared. “I will bring distress on mankind, so that they shall walk like the blind, because they have sinned against the LORD … their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of the… Read More Today’s thought “I will bring distress …” (December 15)
Today’s thought “Bind them on your heart” (March 28) God’s word again directs our thoughts to the vital importance of our attitude of “heart” as the most vital thing in our thought processes.

Today Matthew’s record of the life of our Lord reveals how events were building up to a climax.

The Christadelphians The Christadelphians or “Brethren in Christ” are a small religious body who believe that the Bible contains God’s message to mankind. We meet in homes and halls and operate as a lay community as was the custom in the time of the Apostles. Though united in faith and practice, each congregation is autonomous… Read More The Christadelphians or “Brethren in Christ”
When looking at the many prophecies in the Holy Scriptures, we can notice that most of them came true. Some prophecies are about some future times still to come. But when knowing that all other prophecies became a reality we should be warned and be prepared for the Day of Judgment. Living in this day… Read More To be prepared for the Day of Judgment
*** LUKE 20:27______ 27 Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any RESURRECTION; and they asked him, 28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man’s brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto… Read More Memorizing wonderfully 36 The God of the living and Resurrection
“Greatly annoyed” (April 27) Have you ever been greatly annoyed? Of course you have! It’s human nature. Sometimes such feelings are justified; usually they are not.

1Co 15:19-34 The Scriptures 1998+ (19) If in this life only we have expectation in Messiah, we are of all men the most wretched. (20) But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, and has become the first-fruit of those having fallen asleep. (21) For since death is through a man, resurrection of the… Read More Bad or evil company corrupting good habits
We pondered why the above saying rather suddenly occurs in today’s very moving and oft-quoted 1 Corinthians 15. Parts of this chapter are often read at funerals; it contains a powerful testimony to the certainty of resurrection and that “in Christ shall all be made alive” (verse 22) eternally “at his coming”, adding the qualification… Read More Bad company ruins good morals

As Kevin Miller writes in his blog article about Job “Job is a book of tragedy, foolish counsel, mourning, but also great strength.” For us it can be counted as such a real romantic film: Job begins and ends happy and cheery, but in-between we get drama of high calibre. By the end of the very… Read More Fragments from the Book of Job #7 Epilogue
In his concluding speech in chapter 31, Job did demand that God appear before him, and in a sense, it is somewhat surprising for Elihu to appear instead. But can a man command God to appear? Do we have the right or authority to demand the Most High to appear before us? Job’s concluding remarks… Read More Fragments from the Book of Job #6: chapters 38-42
In the previous chapters the rampant evil in the world was described by Job (Job 24:2-24) and we have heard the speeches of Job’s friends who got to accuse him of gaining his now lost wealth by robbing the poor, withholding sustenance from the hungry and even abusing the weaker ones like widows and orphans.… Read More Fragments from the Book of Job #4: chapters 27-31
