The
New World Disorder: Where Is It Taking Us?
Why does the world seem to be crumbling into chaos? Can we restrain the
forces of anarchy? Is it possible to right the course of our severely
straying civilization and solve our problems? Sadly, we seem to have chosen
to either reject or ignore the God who offers the only viable solutions
to the enormous problems afflicting our troubled age.

Warnings Are Loud and Clear—But Are You Listening?
Four
Biblical Keys to Understanding World Events
Important world events are happening all around us. But what do they mean?
Can we understand? Here are four key principles for analyzing world events
from an all-important biblical perspective.
What's
at the Heart of National Problems?
In the Bible we find page after page of warnings to ancient Israel of
the inevitable negative consequences of national and individual sins.
But are we any different? Is there a message here for us today?
A Modern
Menace: Emerging and Reemerging Diseases
Worried health officials have declared the latest swine flu outbreak to
be a global pandemic, though so far it has proven not to be as deadly
as first feared. But is this a warning of greater dangers to come?
God's
Appointment With You
Did you know that God set aside a special day so you can have meaningful,
lasting contact with Him? Nearly 6,000 years ago our Creator declared
the seventh-day Sabbath a day of rest and fellowship with Him.

From
Sabbath to Sunday: How and Why the Change?
Meekness
and Gentleness: Strength With a Tender Touch
The biblical qualities of meekness and gentleness are misunderstood and
undervalued in today's society of extremes—where all too often people
tend to angrily overreact or passively underreact.
A
Lesson in Prayer
You've probably heard about the power of prayer. But have you ever prayed
and nothing happened? It's not that God doesn't care. The problem could
be that you don't know what Jesus taught about prayer.

 What Does Bible Prophecy Tell Us About the Time of the End?
For thousands of years people have been fascinated with predictions
of the end of the world. If we look into the inspired writings
of
the biblical prophets and apostles, we find many prophecies
that
refer to the time of the end. Should we take them seriously?
Are world
conditions such that these prophecies could be fulfilled in
our day?
Jesus Christ Himself talked of a future time so horrendous
that no
human lives would be spared “unless those days were
shortened”
(Matthew 24:22). Did He have our time in mind?
Many biblical warnings leave us in no doubt that increasingly
cataclysmic
events will occur before God’s direct intervention in
human affairs.
These terrifying prophecies will see their fulfillment at
some future time.
The crucial question is when.
The eye-opening booklet Are
We Living in the Time of the End? examines
exactly what Jesus, His apostles and the biblical prophets
really said
about the intriguing days they refer to as the time of the
end. Read it today! |
