We are told in Matt.6:33 to seek first the Kingdom of God, and God’s righteousness. What exactly does it mean to seek after righteousness? How does glory play into this equation? Are these parts of making it into the Kingdom as the scriptures suggests?

God Provides
In times of trials and problems, we might not see any answers or solutions, but we must always remember that God has promised to provide for us, when we do our part. Many times, God may intervene in most unexpected ways, and He may perform miracles far beyond our imagination. It is important that we have the absolute faith that God will act for us in His due time.
The Sin of Hypocrisy
Hypocrisy is mentioned in numerous ways in the Bible. How can we recognize this sin? How can we make sure that we are not hypocrites? Also, what is the opposite of hypocritical works?
Britain’s Watergate Scandal… Why?
The ongoing blagging and hacking scandal surrounding Rupert Murdoch and his British subsidiaries, threatening the very survival of Britain’s power structure, including Prime Minister David Cameron, has shocked the British public and the world.

Why is it that you can understand what millions of people cannot comprehend today? Why is it that you came to repentance and faith and a desire to obey God? Do you realize that you have been specifically called and chosen by God to become part of His firstfruits in this day and age? And do you also recognize the tremendous responsibility which accompanies your calling?
How Trials Can Help Us
Many times it takes us having to go through a trial to realize that our lives need to change. It’s a good way for God to wake us up. We need to be able to see that God must be in charge in all areas of our lives.
Paul’s Letter to the Philippians – Part 6
In the third chapter, Paul warned true church members not to follow those of ungodly character, who had confidence in the flesh and who worshipped their own belly. Paul called them dogs, evil workers and the mutilation. By contrast, even though Paul might have had every reason, strictly from a carnal standpoint, to be proud of his heritage, ethnic background, upbringing and education, he considered all of it worthless, so that he would attain the resurrection from the dead.
Fear
What type of fear should we have of God? Should we even fear Him? The knowledge of how to properly obey God with the right type of fear can be found here.
Watch!
Are we watching world conditions? Why? So that we just know more than others? Or is there a deeper purpose involved? Why do we study Biblical prophecy? Just so that we gain intellectual knowledge? Why do we keep the weekly and annual Sabbaths; and why do we attend the Feast of Tabernacles–if we do? Just because of social reasons, or because of feelings of guilt if we don’t? Are we watching our own spiritual condition? Do we understand that the time of Jesus Christ’s return is drawing near? Are we getting ready for His return? Are we involved in the Work of the Church to preach the gospel? Or have we become deceived to think that the Work is over and all we need to do is to “make it into the kingdom”? Do we approach our call to salvation in just a selfish manner? Are we willing to make sacrifices for the good of others? Are we watching?

In the Beginning – Part 3
When God created a physical garden for man–the Garden of
Eden or Paradise–, He made special trees and placed them in the midst of the
garden. These trees had special symbolic meaning. They were called the Tree of
Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. While God allowed man to
eat freely from the Tree of Life, He commanded man not to eat from the Tree of
the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Man disobeyed God, and disaster was the
consequence. What is the symbolic meaning of these two trees, and how do they
affect us today?
