Human beings like to create hierarchies, but Christ levels the playing field. We all have direct access to God, and we all have an extremely important call.

Can you make up your own spirituality? People often do; but if we want to truly experience God’s saving power, we need to take hold of the answer that God provides – Jesus Christ.

Are you good enough for God and for heaven? We all fall short. But we do not have to arrive at perfection. New life is possible right now – through faith.

“What must I do to be saved?” was a question once asked of Jesus. What is the final answer to that question? How can we experience God’s saving power, both now and forever? The answer in the Scriptures is revolutionary.

How do we know what to believe? Is all truth relative? Does God communicate truth to us, and if so, how? The Christian message is that we can know the truth, and, as Jesus said, “The truth will set you free.”

It is contrary to our human nature to want to be foolish.  Therefore, it is a challenge when Paul writes about the message of the cross being foolish and being fools for Christ.

You have a glorious future! But what if the present is not so great? Our ultimate destiny can shed new light on today and can inspire us in our earthly journey.

How do we get to heaven? Can people who are not Christians go to heaven? The Bible gives a clear – and perhaps surprising – picture.

Will we see our loved ones in heaven? From the prophets to Jesus to the book of Revelation, the Biblical Word puts forth the vision of “the feast of heaven,” which tells us a great deal about the destiny that we have through Christ, and how we are to live with one another now.

Many people today, if they think of hell at all, take it lightly; or they think of hell in simplistic terms. The real Biblical picture pushes us to think more deeply—to take hell seriously and to see the real hope that we have through the grace of Jesus Christ.
