We all face trials and must stay resolute in relying of God to guide us through them. Paul faced many trials, including very difficult physical ones and he stayed the course in his focus towards God. We must do the same, especially in the festival season.

Be Ready for the Gospel of Peace
Ephesians 6:15 tells us that we must have our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. What exactly does this mean? What about our feet; our preparation or readiness; and the gospel of peace? What is that gospel? Paul warns us not to accept a different gospel, another Jesus, or a different spirit. He also shows us that the belief in the true gospel is absolutely necessary for salvation; and that we ourselves must have peace if we want to stand up for the gospel of peace.
Reasons for Weakness
Are we struggeling with trials and weaknesses? Are there reasons for them? The Bible reveals examples of individuals who struggled with weaknesses and trials and how they were able to overcome them.

Out of Weakness
When we hear about the grizzly beheading of people; when planes are shot out of the sky; when riots erupt in our cities; when unspeakably degrading activities are paraded across our television screens…WHAT should we think or do? More to the point—what are we thinking and what are we doing?
How Low Can You Go?
Depression is a crippling reality that many people face. It is something that can be overcome, but only truly by turning to God and asking in prayer for His help and support.
The Match
Light is oftentimes used in relationship to Christians, and some of the descriptive terms which are applied to the match can be helpful to review our challenge to be lights of the world.
The Difference a Choice Makes
The mindset we take as Christians in how we face trials can determine where we ultimately complete the race Paul spoke of. Do we feel we are missing out on life’s temporary pleasures as Christians? Or do we have an attitude of praising God for the opportunity He has given to us—an opportunity that will grant us eternal life in the family of God!
Man’s Deceitful Heart
God commands us to love Him with all our heart. How can we do this? The Bible does not teach that the natural man has a good and willing heart. At the same time, we do not read that God has created him with an evil and deceitful heart. How then did it become that way? And how is it possible to get ourselves a new heart?
Daily Change
No Way! There Will Be No Seven-Year Treaty!
Some teach that a seven year treaty will be adopted between a modern king of the North or the beast and a modern king of the South, consisting of Arab nations, just prior to the return of Christ, and that that treaty will be broken after 3 ½ years. Others teach that that treaty is going to be made between the king of the North and the Jews. They base this teaching on Daniel 9:27. However, this passage does NOT teach such a treaty, but something different altogether. It is VERY important that you understand the truth, because a wrong teaching might find you completely unprepared for the return of Jesus Christ.
