For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-6 Let’s take a look at what the Bible says about staying awake, shall we? I think we can glean quite […]

The Sign
“I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is […]

Temple of God
This article was extensively edited, including the title, on April 29, 2019. Hopefully we all know from reading our whole Bibles for ourselves that each believer’s body in this age is the temple/dwelling place of God. (1Cor. 3:16-17, 6:14-20, 2Cor. 1:22, 6:16, Eph. 2:22, 3:16-17, Gal. 6:8, Rom. 8:9-14, 1Thess. 4:7-8, 1John 3:24, 4:13, 2Tim. […]
