In the world, the idea of love has been distorted and perverted in any number of ways. Understanding the truth about the meaning of godly love and how to manifest it is vital to the practice of true Christianity and God’s way of life.

God established a system where we can become his financial partners in the work of his government. The Bible describes a principle of investing in the future by serving God, and if we have a proper relationship with God, we can share in the fruit of the increase of his government.

On the Feast of Pentecost following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit was poured out in a spectacular way on the apostles, there were signs and miracles, and many were converted and received the Holy Spirit on that day and days following.
God’s Spirit is available to anyone who is willing to believe the true gospel, repent of sin and be baptized. But once having received the Spirit of God, one must nurture it, and stir it up to retain it and bear the fruits of God’s Spirit as he would have us to.
Listen to “Stir up the Spirit,” as Rod Reynolds explores this subject from Scripture, how it’s done, and to what end, and related questions.

Prophets and the faithful down through history have risked and not infrequently forfeited their own safety, comfort, property and lives for the sake of truth, or to save the lives of others.
Godly character is often forged in the crucible of extreme trials. Such trials may come on suddenly and unexpectedly, or they may be perceived ahead of time as possible or even likely. Indeed, the Bible warns us that the faithful will be subject to various trials and tribulations (Matthew 24:9; 2 Timothy 3:12; 1 Peter 1:3-9).
Listen as Rod Reynolds reviews some examples of how some in the past have expressed love for fellow human beings, at the risk of their own lives, in the direst of circumstances, and what we can learn from such examples.

Controversy over the Sabbath and its observance has been an obstacle for many over the span of time, not only from the time of Christ up till now, but even before, as we see in the manner in which Jesus was sometimes condemned by certain Jewish leaders because of things he did or allowed on the Sabbath.
The tendency since then, and often before, is to simply neglect the Sabbath and disregard any concerns about what may or may not be done on the Sabbath. Most, of course, in our age flatly reject the Sabbath altogether.
But those who are convicted about the Sabbath frequently have genuine questions about what kind of activities are appropriate or not for the Sabbath. For those who are concerned about such questions, “Sabbath Work Questions,” is intended to provide some guidelines from Scripture that may be of help to you in properly keeping the Sabbath without going to extremes God does not intend.
