There is one problem every human being shares, no matter their background, beliefs, or achievements. It is not failure, suffering, or even sin at the deepest level—it is death. Death stands as the unavoidable conclusion to every human life, the silent force that has claimed kings and commoners alike, generation after generation. No one has negotiated with it, reasoned with …
Humility To God Is Service To Humanity
Gary Lee Corns emphasized the importance of humility and service, using Jesus’ example of washing the disciples’ feet to illustrate how true Christianity is expressed. He taught that following Jesus involves loving and serving others, rather than focusing on church growth, programs, or simply accumulating knowledge. Obedience to Christ’s commandments, such as those in the Sermon on the Mount, leads …
When Dying Means Living
We all face critical junctures in life—moments of decision where we must choose between two paths. These are times when our will intersects with God’s will, and we must decide whether to follow our own desires or surrender to His plan. These pivotal points aren’t a one-time experience; they’re a recurring choice throughout a believer’s life. Yet, in these defining moments, …
Our Time on Earth is Short
Have you ever really taken a moment to think about time? Not just the hours on a clock or the days on a calendar, but how quickly it all slips by? We wake up, go about our day, and before we know it, another week has vanished. And yet, deep down, we know time isn’t just something we spend—it’s one …
The Day Death Died
This Resurrection Sunday, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ—the pivotal moment that secures the future fulfillment of God’s plan: a perfect people living on a perfect earth.

Just as Jesus lives …
Giving Meaning to Life Through Death: Part 1
This world is not the one God originally created. Because of Adam’s rebellion, it is now filled with uncertainty and unpredictability. No one knows exactly what the future holds. Yet, despite this reality, people often live as though they can control what lies ahead. Whether in work, finances, health, or relationships, life is full of unexpected—and often unpleasant—surprises. King Solomon …
Does the concept of forgiveness require Christians to overlook justice in cases of wrongdoing?
To answer this question, we must turn to the Bible, which is the ultimate source of truth. It is essential to define key terms—justice, wrongdoing, and forgiveness—so that we can fully understand the relationship between them. First, the term “justice” reflects God’s divine order and righteousness. Scripture consistently emphasizes the importance of justice, as seen in passages such as Deuteronomy …
The Dichotomy of Fear
Since the late 1980s we have all seen tee-shirts and placards displaying the phrase “No Fear”. While this popular mantra may give some degree of encouragement, it can also be misleading. While it may seem sensible to eliminate fear from our lives, not all fear is bad. It is a good thing to fear a sow Grizzly bear with cubs. …
Eternal life
One of the most wonderful promises that God makes in his Word for all for whom Christ is their savior is eternal life. The Book of Titus tells us that our very faith rests upon this hope which God, who does not lie, promises us. Such blessed assurance. Imagine – eternity with God, with our Lord and with our brethren. …
