Loyalty is the state of being unselfish. It's a result of love that cause someone to place importance in another’s well being above even their own without though, without decision and without question. Loyalty is standing by another person regardless of anything else.

Setting boundaries with people, especially those you care about, can be difficult. You may feel guilty about doing so, but there’s no need to. You won’t be able to care for others if you can’t care for yourself. Setting up boundaries gives you a chance to practice this self-care and prevents you from feeling violated. Establishing boundaries with people like your partner, friends, and family may seem intimidating, but it’s possible and necessary.

According to the Bible, the power of prayer is, quite simply, the power of God, who hears and answers prayer. The power of prayer does not flow from us; it is not special words we say or the special way we say them or even how often we say them. The power of prayer comes from the omnipotent One who hears our prayers and answers them. Prayer places us in contact with Almighty God, and we should expect almighty results, whether or not He chooses to grant our petitions or deny our requests. Whatever the answer to our prayers, the God to whom we pray is the source of the power of prayer, and He can and will answer us, according to His perfect will and timing.

Around the world, attacks on children continue nonstop, as opposing parties ignore one of the most basic rules of war: the protection of children. The endless nature of conflicts today is affecting the futures of entire generations of children. Without access to education, a generation of children living in conflict will grow up without the skills they need to contribute to their countries and economies, increasing the already desperate situation for millions of children and their families.

A child’s right to education cannot be safeguarded in conflict zones without education itself being protected. Education can be a life-saver. Out of school, children are easy targets of abuse, exploitation and recruitment by armed forces and groups. School should provide a safe space where children can be protected from threats and crises. It is also a critical step to breaking the cycle of crisis and reduces the likelihood of future conflicts.

Homosexuality is a controversial issue in many societies. For some it has become an equal rights issue to legalize same-sex marriage. For many it is also a religious and moral issue because it is addressed within the Bible. Debates, discussions, arguments, and, very sadly, sometimes even violence occurs from discussions on this issue.

For some this issue of the Biblical perspective on homosexuality has a simply serious attraction. This would perhaps be the person who is neither a Christian, nor a homosexual. The topic might not personally affect them, but since it is a current issue it is of interest. For others this is very personal. Regardless, this discussion is intended to be a gracious, loving, and truthful.

The mark of the beast symbolically identifies those who let the political system rule their lives. Those with the mark of the beast place themselves in opposition to God. It’s not even a physical or visible mark at all. The mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-18) is a mark that is closely tied to the worship of the beast (i.e. the Antichrist). It seems pretty evident that all of this is the case because these two marks—the mark of the beast and the seal of God—are meant to be seen as two polar realities, two opposite signs, marking out as it were two different types of people, namely, the wicked on the one hand and the righteous on the other.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children (Hosea 4:6).”

The part ‘my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge‘ is popularly translated as ‘my people perish for lack of knowledge’. Hosea 4:6 means the same as it reads. Ignorance or lack of knowledge is one such destructive state. Many lives have been lost, many cruel deeds have been done, and many souls have perished on account of lack of knowledge. But God never wanted it to be so that is why He gave us his word.
