A renowned bible teacher was asked if he knew Hebrew and Greek, the languages in which the Old and New Testaments were written respectively. He expressed his ignorance. The other person declared that he could not be a Bible Teacher without studying the Bible in the Hebrew language. The Son of God knew the truths […]

Those who have a personal relationship with Lord Jesus Christ are perpetually changed. Simon Peter was one of the millions who have been transformed. Yet, others turned against the Lord, like Judas. Perceive: Only those who think, reflect, or consider would understand the truth. All people in all parts of the globe, living in history,

It was a mega church that looked like an auditorium. The pastor comes to the stage in a special route designed in such a way that all people would turn and see him. With escorts carrying guns, he goes towards the dais, while is followed by a man carrying a bible respectfully. As the pastor

Prophet Jeremiah records the death of another contemporary prophet who died as a martyr. King Jehoiakim was a wicked king, who ruled for eleven years from 609 to 598 BC.

A believer’s wife is badly beaten by a believer’s husband. She runs to safety and enters the home of the pastor. What should the pastor do? Or if a Sunday School teacher comes to know about domestic violence in a home from a child, what should she do? Confronting sinners is an important and noble

“The three billion letters of DNA spell out instructions that, if printed in a tiny font, would fill three hundred books of a thousand pages each. (Each letter counts: a mistake in only two letters can cause a disease like cystic fibrosis) A nerve cell may operate according to instructions from volume four and a

Prophet Jeremiah spoke to the Nation of Israel: “You shall say to them, thus says the Lord: When men fall, do they not rise again? If one turns away, does he not return?

Some advertisements claim their performance or services are ten times better than the products of competitors. Probably, an exaggeration. If a king in ancient times interviewed graduates from his academy to serve his empire and certifies someone to have ten times better knowledge and skills, it would be true. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were
