Cover Story
What's the Key to Real Leadership?
Everywhere we look we see a great need for real leadership. But
what exactly is real leadership? What is its foundation? Can someone be
a good leader without displaying real leadership? The Bible reveals the
key to real leadership that so few understand—and, encouragingly,
shows how that leadership will transform the world!
Could Jesus Christ Be Elected President?
As the United States enters the final weeks of a hotly contested
presidential election campaign, this is a good time to ask a crucial question:
Could Jesus Christ be elected president? You might be surprised!
Coming: God's Solutions to the World's Problems
Nearly everywhere we look, the world seems to be spinning out
of control. Why do we see so many problems? Can we find a solution?
Does the Bible offer hope for solutions to our longstanding problems?
The Russian Bear Has Awakened
While the world was distracted by the Olympic games in Beijing,
Russia suddenly invaded Georgia, a staunch Western ally and possible
future NATO member. What's behind Russia's muscle-flexing ?
The Resurrection of the Dead: What Does the Bible Teach?
Many people have at least a vague notion that the Bible teaches
about a resurrection of the dead. But what is the resurrection all about?
And how does it fit into God's overall plan for salvation?

Who Resurrected Jesus Christ?
The Mediterranean Union: Seeds of a New Roman Empire?

as a political superstar. But a potentially far more important development
in that part of the world the week before garnered little attention.
Is Halloween Harmless?
Every year at Halloween, well-meaning parents dress their children
in grotesque and ghoulish costumes. Is Halloween really harmless? Who
and what's behind this bizarre holiday? And what does Scripture say?
Peace: The Hunger of Human Hearts
The apostle Paul, while locked in a depressing prison cell,
wrote that we can experience "God's peace, which is far beyond human
understanding." You too can have this unique contentment and peace!

World Peace—Will It Ever Come?

FREE BOOKLET - The Gospel of
the Kingdom |
 Today's
headlines are filled with bad news—war,
famine, natural disasters, governmental scandals
and the like. With all this bad news, what kind
of future can we look forward to?
Almost 2,000 years ago, a prophet
came bringing a vital message for this
world. That prophet was Jesus Christ,
and His message was "the gospel of
the kingdom of God" (Mark 1:14).
The word gospel means good news. But
what was the good news Jesus Christ
brought? What is the kingdom of which He spoke?
And does it have anything to do with the problems
that threaten us today?
Most people don't understand
the truth about the Kingdom of God. Yet it is the central
theme of the Bible—and truly the best news the world
could ever hear!
In The Gospel of
the Kingdom you can discover the
truth of the surprising message Jesus Christ brought.
This booklet shows you, from the pages of your Bible,
exactly what that message is—and what it means for
you.
