Why has not your prayer been answered? Perhaps it has. Strangely enough, it often happens that we receive an answer to our prayer and do not recognize it.

The Unforgivable Sin
The Bible mentions the existence of an unforgivable sin, and this has greatly frightened innumerable Christians.

He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

How Much Conviction?
What do you really believe? It is as a man thinketh in his heart that matters, says the Bible, and this means the heartfelt conviction as distinct from mere formal assent.
If you want to know what you really believe, simply watch what you do. We always do what we believe, although we frequently [...]

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. (Matthew 25:29).
This great text has been a stumbling block to many. It looks like injustice. It sounds like cruelty. Yet Jesus said it, and we know [...]
