More precious than big riches can be: Godliness with contentment is great gain, because it also provides peace in the heart and eternal joy.

Do you regard your available food, clothes, freedom, health for granted or as your own accomplishment? Or do you humbly give thanks to the Lord?

Whose advice do you follow?

What gives you confidence in life? Your job? Your land? Your family? Your skills?

Under which conditions do you live?

Is there freedom of faith or persecution and oppression?

One pattern that repeats itself over history is that religious leaders worry that they loose influence, so they aggressively try to eradicate the living faith in the Lord Jesus.

How will it be like, when Jesus returns?

He has come and brought great joy.

A person who has experienced the help of the Lord has the natural desire to pass on the good news to others.

How do you pray?

It is difficult to describe the gap between us humans with our errors and faults on the one hand and the eternal, holy Lord on the other hand.

But praise the Lord that in his grace he has provided a way to bridge that gap.
