Many are the times when I have read in Christian literature, and in articles on the Internet, something to do with the Mark of the Beast. Always the emphasis is on the way in which modern electronic technology is veering towards the literal marking of a hand or a forehead with an invisible code. This code could then be read by a scanning device, similar to that which is used today to read bar codes. The value of this system would then be seen in terms of security. Nobody could copy or steal your “card” and therefore your banking account would be safe. Such is the thinking behind the proposition to use such flesh markings. [Read more…]

50a. Missing the Mark. Part 1
Many of us grow up to become quite decent citizens of our country, and many espouse the Christian faith for a variety of reasons. Within that framework something then happens to knock us for six. A good and trusted friend meets us one day, and says, rather hesitantly, that he has something important to say to us. Our heart begins to beat a little faster, wondering what revelation is about to be unveiled. [Read more…]

After the resurrection, the Twelve Apostles preached a Risen Christ. Their message was about Repentance, and the acceptance of Jesus as the Messiah.

35a. Our Wilderness Journey. Part 1
There is a section in Paul’s writing, (1 Cor.9:24 – 10:13) where he likens the life of a Christian to a wilderness journey, based on the example of the children of Israel in their travels from Egypt to the Promised Land. Twice in this passage he emphasises this, by saying, “These things were our examples,” and “These things were written for our admonition.” (10:6,11) [Read more…]
33. Grace Parables
Grace and Faith are subjects that our Lord has elevated above all other considerations in the New Testament writings. Notice, for example, that our Lord said about His mission that He was not sent but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. That would seem to exclude the Gentiles.
