A Tale Of Two Kingdoms
  
A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMS

Kingdom Now or Kingdom Come?
by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.

There are two kingdoms being taught in many churches today. Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on the decline while the other is being promoted all over the place.  I am warning Christians that they need to check out who is using the word "kingdom", the books they have been reading and recommend on building "the kingdom", the people they have been hanging out with at conferences, and what they mean by "the kingdom".

Featured Discernment Ministry 
 
Bible Guidance
      
 

Bibleguidance is an interdenominational Christian ministry aimed at proclaiming and promoting basic facts on evangelical Christianity. The timeless truths of the Bible are exposed as well as various contemporary issues and trends. Much attention is devoted to the fulfillment of biblical prophecies. As a discernment type ministry we are intent on making a clear distinction between true and false interpretations of Scripture. Biblical statements are interpreted in the light of correlating scriptures.

Our main objective is to glorify the Lord Jesus so people may be drawn to Him. All biblical themes are studied from the viewpoint of Jesus Christ since He is the personification of the Word of God (Rev. 19:13). It is only when we know Him that we will be able to correctly understand biblical prophecies, "for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" (Rev. 19:10). Prophecies cannot be properly interpreted without taking into account the different capacities in which Christ reveals Himself to humanity.

Fasting and Spiritual Direction
by Gary Gilley Think On These Things
Think On These Things
April/May 2013
Volume 19, Issue 2

 

The list of spiritual disciplines that has been adopted within the Spiritual Formation Movement is almost endless. We could analyze the divine office, Benedict's Rule, use of the Rosary and prayer ropes, monasticism, journaling, the Eucharist, and pilgrimage, among many others. But we will conclude our study of the disciplines with fasting and spiritual direction.

A Bible Study on the wonderful Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18)
by Crosswords Crossroad  

 

The storms began to hit hard at the end of my first year as a Christian They took me by surprise. After a delightful year of learning to know Jesus and discovering many of the marvelous resources of His wonderful Kingdom, I thought I had a handle on the Christian life. Ignorant of spiritual warfare, I didn't guard against the perversity of my flesh (the old human nature) nor against Satan.

Suddenly neither my outward circumstances nor my inner struggles fit my vision of the Christian life. Disappointment, failure, and loss happens to everyone, but in me they opened the door to doubts and despair. The questions in my mind reflected the confusion in my heart: If Jesus is my Shepherd, why doesn't He take better care of me? If God is my sovereign King, where is His power to provide strength and peace? If He is my Father, why isn't He gentler with me?

Of course, the problem was me, not God. I just hadn't seen all that He offered me, nor had I applied all that He had shown me. Most of my royal wardrobe [His armor] hung unused. I had pictured both a vertical love-relationship with my Lord (His hand and heart reaching down to me) and a horizontal friendship with Him (walking and working side by side). Both became real and precious to me, but I had missed the very best -- the intimate union in which He joins me to Himself and we are always together!

 Apparitions of Mary
by Mike Gendron, 5/6/13 Proclaiming The Gospel

I am always amazed to hear of people traveling hundreds of miles and spending thousands of dollars to seek a message from an apparition of Mary when they can open their Bible and receive a message from Christ right where they are. Over 7 million Catholics make pilgrimages every year to the sites of Fatima, Lourdes, Medjugorje and other places where Mary has reportedly appeared. Marian apparitions and their messages play an integral part of worship in Roman Catholicism. Consider just one of the ungodly messages from a Fatima apparition that clearly diverts people away from worship of the triune God: "God is giving two last remedies to the world, these are the Holy Rosary and the Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary...the two means to save the world are prayer and sacrifice....devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, our Most Holy Mother consists in considering her as the seat of mercy, of goodness of pardon and of the certain door by which we are to enter Heaven... plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her."
