DIVINE GIFT.  We have received a wonderful divine gift from our loving Creator--a collection of books inspired by Him known collectively as God's word the Holy Bible...It's important to understand that it truly is inspired of God himself, even though he used some 40 or so of his human servants on earth as penmen...

Let's help as many as possible to embrace the hope of endless life in true peace and happiness, becoming true friends of God, His Son and others.

Christians are to embrace the one faith of genuine Christianity. God's holy word is the source of truth to determine the doctrine that God approves and we should believe. God determines truth--not the worldly wise. Let's examine more carefully some vital Christian doctrines. We'll use the King James Version for this examination.

God disapproves of those who are smug, or hypocritical. While requiring effort, we can come to be considered upright by God based on our faith in Christ. Why is this desirable, and what is involved in achieving this? Let's learn the basics.

 Let's take a closer look at the Nine Happinesses, or Beatitudes, to see how we can benefit from Jesus' or Josha's wise counsel.

Many have come to acknowledge the existence of God, His inspiration of the Holy Bible, and His godlike Son Jesus, a King, in the invisible heavens above. While this reveals much, are there still hidden truths that can make possible an even greater unity among those who sincerely seek to please God and hope in the promised blessings under God's Kingdom?

Jesus said “Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.” By the Scriptures, is there more than one way to see God? And what of this purity of heart—what is it and how can we reasonably manifest it in the world we live in, leading to what happiness?

It was the theme of Jesus'/Josha's preaching work, the primary thing he talked about in his ministry. So what is this Kingdom, and how can you benefit by understanding it?

Many persons want to maintain a positive, upbuilding spirit when speaking with others, and are pained when something negative or discouraging slips from their tongue. Others haven’t learned to care much how others are affected by their speech. What can motivate us to care, and to be better able to control our speech in an upbuilding way, avoiding slanderous talk? Let’s look at how God’s word can help us to achieve this.

Marriage and the family unit are among the oldest of institutions among mankind, and when respected, have brought much happiness to the human family as a whole. However, in these days, there are challenges to the health, security, and happiness of humans. Why is the family arrangement to be treasured and safeguarded, and what can help each member of the family to contribute to the well-being and happiness of all involved?

Many persons realize that sin is wrong in God’s eyes, but they may not understand how much they are hurting themselves and others by ignoring God’s warnings against such sin. What are some examples of serious sin, and how can we develop the right viewpoint so as to avoid the stain and pain of sin, and even help others overcome wrong views themselves, leading to the happiness God promises, now and endlessly, for those who love Him and His right standards for living?

We may be working hard to find true success in life, growing in the true wisdom of God and in true love for Him and others. The Scriptures show, however, that even right-hearted ones may be persuaded away from the truth by various means, for instance subtle tricks of wrongdoers, not yet treasuring a conscience corrected by God’s word and the hope of everlasting life. What cautions are in order, especially for newer ones in the faith, to avoid falling back to a selfish way of life, but instead to become more firm for what is truly right, experiencing God-given joy with wisdom that transcends all other delights and makes every gift of God more delightful?

God's word exhorts Christians to "Put on the complete suit of armor from God, so that you may be able to stand firm against the crafty acts of the Devil." (Ephesians 6:11) Are you wearing this spiritual suit? What are the pieces of this spiritual armor, why do we need each piece, and how do they each protect us spiritually?

Godly Christian Love, expressed fully, should be a primary goal of all Christians, as Jesus declared it to be the greatest of all commandments. Yet, how can we define this love, and how can it be manifested? Let's examine the Bible's description of love found at 1Corinthians 13:4-8.

At 1Corinthians 2:16 we read: "For 'who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, so that he may instruct Him?' But we do have the mind of Christ." How amazing is God's incredible wisdom. Consider how various branches of Christianity were likely foreshadowed by sons of Jacob and their respective tribes of Israel.
