What are the daily role(s) of a genuine Christian? (Malawi)
This is an excellent question for every Christian to ask themselves. We will consider “roles” as our “daily behaviors.” Our Lord said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” (Luke 9:23) First, we are to deny ourselves, leave the selfish thinking, self-gratification … Continue reading “What are the daily role(s) of a genuine Christian?

I have been studying a lot about Israel. The Bible refers to Israel as "her," why? (United States)
Because God calls Himself Israel’s husband. If you read the short book of Hosea, you will see God identifying as Israel's husband and Israel identified as an unfaithful prostitute. Whenever Israel would look to earthly governmental alliances for protection and help, God viewed that as breaking her covenant with Him. God had promised to protect … Continue reading “I have been studying a lot about Israel. The Bible refers to Israel as "her," why? (United States)”
I made a consecration in Christ, yet I fellowship with members of a different Protestant church. Is it ok or do I need to go to the church where I made my consecration? (Uganda)
We are living in the harvest period of the Gospel Age. Now, the wheat is being separated from the tares. Originally, Jesus sowed the wonderful Gospel message. The seed was pure and wheat (true Christians) grew. “But while his men (the apostles) were sleeping, his enemy (the devil) came and sowed tares (false doctrines) among … Continue reading “I made a consecration in Christ, yet I fellowship with members of a different Protestant church.

How do we know Jesus was the Messiah?
“Messiah” means “anointed one.” To be “anointed” means to be chosen for a special purpose. God anointed Jesus – and Jesus willingly volunteered – to die as a ransom for Adam, putting into motion a plan that will bring all who have ever died back to life in God’s future kingdom. The Old Testament Scriptures … Continue reading “How do we know Jesus was the Messiah?”
How can Christians be holy? (Ghana)
To be holy is to only do God’s will. We grow in holiness as we submit to God’s will in the little things of our lives. Luke 16:10 (NLT), “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones…” So one step at a time, we daily learn to deny our … Continue reading “How can Christians be holy?

Please, why do preachers use the prophecies meant for the Jews for present Christians? Also, a preacher applied Isaiah 41:10 to people alive today using an antitypical Cyrus to deliver Israel. (Nigeria)
Often Christian teachers do apply what appears to be double meanings to certain prophecies. For example, there was the literal Jewish temple and the symbolic temple spoken of by Jesus. John 2:19-20, (NKJV), “Jesus…said to them, ‘Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.’ Then the Jews said, ‘It has taken … Continue reading “Please, why do preachers use the prophecies meant for the Jews for present Christians?
