Affluenza has been described as “a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more”. Possession overload is not what a Christian needs and may distract him/her from the way that we have been called to.

Curiosity Hacked
Keep the Passover
Is was the custom of Jesus Christ to observe the Sabbath and Holy Days. He also kept the Passover, and in His fulfilling of the ultimate meaning of Passover, he left instructions about how His disciples should continue in His example. Why, then, is there so much confusion surrounding the true observance of Passover?
Russia and Iran in Prophecy
Terrible things are happening in Russia and Iran, but the Western world seems to be oblivious to these traumatic events. Opponents to Vladimir Putin are convinced that he is directly or at least indirectly responsible for the murder of Boris Nemtsov; and the numerous “unusual events” surrounding his murder and the many examples of prior murders of Putin’s opponents seem to support their reasoning. The Bible tells us very clearly what is about to happen in and pertaining to Russia, as well as its proxy, Iran, and why many governmental leaders seem to be sound asleep.
Heaven or Hell?
Are We Committed?
How committed are we to the truth and God’s way of life? What important commitment did we or do we make that is life changing to draw us closer to God?

The Bible uses many times figurative language when referring to the Holy Spirit. Still, why are descriptions used which seem to imply person-hood and conscious activities of the Holy Spirit? Are we unduly restricting and misunderstanding some of those passages?

Make Yourself Useful
Are we, as the saying goes, “useful to society”? More specifically, are we making use of our opportunities to do what we can and to increase in our usefulness to God as part of His “elect”?
