What is the unpardonable sin? Orthodox Christianity does not provide you with any true answers. Some even deny that this concept is taught in the Bible. But God clearly reveals that there is an unpardonable sin — a sin which cannot and will not be forgiven by God. It is quite different, though, from what most people think. However, it is a deadly serious matter, and you need to know the answer to this important question.

Jesus Christ asked us to remember in our prayers that the glory is God’s forever. Why is it important to have this truth clearly in mind, when we approach our Father in prayer? What should we be thinking and meditating about? Does God’s glory have anything to do with our future? And if so, what is it? The truth is in fact more wonderful than most could even imagine.

The Feast of Trumpets portends a time of refreshing! The troubles of this world come head-on with the God of this universe – The Almighty Eternal God! Mankind does not know the way to peace, but the culmination of the events pictured by this Day will result in peace on earth!

In light of what many scriptures say, we find that bold, empowering faith is rare! Jesus forewarned that many would be lukewarm and that many would be weak in faith. Having more faith is a critical necessity for Christians. We can increase in faith in the following ways: understand what faith is; act in faith; continue in faith; have balanced faith; test faith; fight for faith; and, win with faith.

What do we mean, when we use the words, “Hallowed Be Thy Name?” God has many names — so what are we expressing when we ask that God’s name be hallowed? What is meant by “hallowed”? In other places, the Greek and Hebrew words are translated as “sanctified,” or “be holy.” We are to sanctify or treat as holy the things that God has made holy; if we profane them, we profane God. We hallow God, when we live holy lives; and we profane God, and give others occasion to scoff and blaspheme, when we break His Word, thereby profaning God.

Throughout the Holy Scriptures we find stories of men of great boldness, living their lives and instructing others to live according to God’s Way of life. Down through time, right up to and including this day in which we find ourselves living, many have been called to live their lives according to this Way, in boldness, thus setting an example for others as God continues to choose disciples of the Way.

Love takes work, and the incomparable love of both the Father and the Son is their work. I Corinthians 13 identifies love as the geatest of gifts, and the elements of love described in this chapter are also a description of God’s love. It is revealed that God is love, and the Word of God further explains that we are to love as God loves.

Babylon represents the ways of this world. God tells us He is against Babylon and that it is His intent to destroy Babylon completely. We must flee this system and its evil ways or face total destruction ourselves. Therefore, it is critical that we come to understand what we must do to be free of Babylon’s destructive ways.

We all need to see ourselves as God sees us. Living our lives in a self-satisfied way and doing what seems right in our own view is spiritually dangerous. Arrogance, pride and rebellious self-will are stumbling blocks to those who wish to follow the way of Christianity. In order to measure ourselves in the light of God’s Word and to have the ears to hear and the eyes to see as God views us, we must be willing to examine ourselves, to humble ourselves and to repent. These are issues that we must, indeed, take personally.
