Many believers in God know that from the moment that The Lord Jesus was nailed on the cross, our sins have been forgiven, that is to say, we would be no longer punished due to going against laws. Nevertheless, we still often live in sin, and often pray to God and repent before Him for the sins we commit. We still don’t escape from the bondage of sin yet and live in a cycle of committing sins and confession sin so that we can’t extricate ourselves from it. For this reason, we feel quite pained. The Bible says, “Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever.”(John 8:34-35). These verses of scripture tell us that if we can’t extricate ourselves from sin, we wouldn’t enter into God’s family, the kingdom of heaven. Then h

We are now at the end of the last days, and there are many brothers and sisters who believe sincerely in the Lord and await His return who must surely be thinking this question: In chapter 22, verse 12 of Revelation, the Lord Jesus prophesied, “And, behold, I come quickly.” The Lord promised us that He would come again in the last days, so has He now returned? This question really is so important to us Christians, so how exactly are we to know whether the Lord has really returned or not? In actual fact, the Lord Jesus has already told us through biblical prophecies, and as long as we take all the facts together and ponder them in earnest, then we will find the answer.
1. The Appearance of War, Famine and Earthquakes
It says in Matthew chapter 24, verses 6 to 8: “And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see t

Gospel Reflection | What Is True Repentance? Gaining Inspiration From the Story of King David
Whenever King David is mentioned, my mind conjures up the image of when he was in his teens and, by relying on the strength of Jehovah, he used a slingshot to kill the giant Goliath with a stone. Afterward, he went to war, won many battles and did many heroic deeds. It is also recorded in the Bible, however, that when David became the king of Israel, he had Uriah killed and then took his wife Bathsheba. God’s righteous disposition therefore came upon D

Now is already the end of the last days. The Lord Jesus whom we’ve yearned for day and night has returned. Hearing this news, many people are very excited and even cry tears of joy, and some of them sing and dance to celebrate the arrival of the Lord. But there are also some people who raise doubts about this news.
They think that since the Bible says, “But of that day and hour knows no man, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but My Father only” (Matthew 24:36), it shows that no man will know when the Lord returns, so how could anyone say that the Lord has already returned? Let’s think about it. We all know that the Lord will come to save man, so if no one knew about it, then how could we follow Him and believe in Him? How could God accomplish His work of salvation? If we always hold to this statement, doesn&rs

I Fall Into Temptation Again and Find the Root Cause of Why People Work Flat Out for Money
Time flew by, and the annual Eid celebration would soon be taking place in Indonesia. This is the month when demand for clothes is at its highest, and it is also the “golden month” for making money. I used to always get a lot of clothes from my boss, and if I worked overtime for a month, I could earn the equivalent of two months’ wages. But this time, I felt a little torn: If I accepted this work then it would certainly interfere with attending church meetings, and there was no way my eyes would be able to cope working all night long again. But then I thought that this opportunity only comes around once a year and that business would decrease a lot once this month was over. I felt eager to get started, thinking that I would lose out on too much money if I let this opportunity pa

Every day, countless people rush about and constantly busy for the sake of money and status, I am no exception. I began to work after graduation. Every day, I rush about and busy myself for making money, with a dream that I could live a rich life one day. However, I was met with a traffic accident and I very nearly lost my life. That traffic accident stopped my busy steps, at that time, I began to ponder: If I lost my life in the traffic accident, what is the meaning of my whole life? Is it only for a lot of money and a high status? How we live is a meaningful life? These questions linger in my mind. Later, I read an article that helps me have new knowledge about the meaning of life and change the direction of my life.
In June, 2016, during my spare time off duty, I started to search on the internet for all sorts of games with my tablet computer. One day at noon, I found a role-playing game. There were many aspects to that game that were similar to those of the internet games that I liked in the past. The 3D graphics were extremely detailed and the fight scenes were very exciting. Based on my experience of playing games, I could confirm that this game was exactly the type that I liked. Actually, I knew that playing games was not good. However, I thought that since I was only using my spare time to play this game a little bit, as long as I did not become lost within the game, it would be fine. In the afternoon, without scruple, I spent two hours of time on the game until I had a good command of all the operations associated with its different functions. Unconsciously, I was secretly delighted: I have finally found a good game to play! In this way, during a time when I

Bible Study Topics | Questions in Faith: Be on Your Guard Against Spiritual Blindness
The Lord Jesus said, “For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind” (John 9:39). “If you were blind, you should have no sin: but now you say, We see; therefore your sin remains” (John 9:41).
Whenever I used to read these two verses during my spiritual devotions, I would always feel confused, and would think: “The

My friend Linda just believed in the Lord. She is enthusiastic about reading the Bible and, most time, she along with us discusses the verses of scripture. Today she talked with us about the recent vexation. She said that she had read many verses of scripture but only memorized very few of them and had little gains. She asked me if there is a good way to read the Bible. At the time, I thought of an article that mentions as long as we grasp three points, we can gain the guidance of the Holy Spirit when reading the Bible and thus reach a good result. She then couldn’t wait to ask, “Really? What are the three points? Hurry and talk with me about that, please.” Later, I share with her the article. Brothers and sisters, today I also share this article with you, hoping it is beneficial for you to read the Bible and know ... Read more »
