    Many people have doubts about God’s love when they see pain and suffering in the world.

He brings peace and joy to all who accept his help (Psalm...

    Participation in Jesus' sacrifice

    The body and blood that Jesus offered to the Father at the Last Supper was his body and blood which he sacrificed on the cross (Luke 22:19-20, John 6:51). Therefore the event at the Last Supper was part the event when Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross. To participate at the Lords Supper...

    Who is God?

    Although many of us believe in the presence of God and know that he loves us, he is not real to us; because He is invisible. God is invisible because he is not matter, but a spirit. Spirit, like a force is invisible; yet they both exert influence on material objects. Spirit, however, is more...

    How does love bring us peace?

    God created us to express a love that is unconditional, pure, selfless, forgiving and sacrificial. This love therefore is the inner most desire of our heart; and without it we will never find peace. This love is true love. It is not a feeling or emotion; it is a spirit. This spirit is God. To...

    Why be kind to our offender?

    When a person hurts another person, the offender cuts himself away from God. Since God is the only source of our peace, in cutting himself away from God the offender brings grave suffering on himself. Compared to the suffering the offender brings upon himself the suffering of the victim is small...

    How to love our enemies?

    Jesus tells us to pray for our enemies, offer the other cheek if slapped on one and express sacrificial love towards them (Matthew 5:43-48). He practiced these teachings in his own life when he sacrificed his own life so that those who hurt and betrayed him may have eternal life. He accepted...

    How to find peace?

    We will find complete peace only when we express unconditional love, because to love is the true nature of our spirit. When we choose selfishness over love, we go against God and our true nature. This causes turmoil in our spirit. Furthermore when we choose selfishness we hurt ourselves and...

    Do we love God?

    God forgave us by sacrificing his own life, so that, we, who betrayed him may have peace and joy for all eternity. He told us that if we love him we would keep his commandments by loving one another as he has loved us. Therefore, do we love God, if we: 1) refuse to forgive others as God forgave...

    Force is a non-matter entity that influences objects in its field. There are different forces in the universe. Gravitational force is one of them. Nature is another force.

    True interpretation of the scriptures

    Jesus is the word of God become flesh (John 1:14). In other words, in Jesus the scriptures became a reality. Therefore, to find the true meanings of the scriptures we must look at Jesus’; instead of trying to find our own interpretation. Jesus’ goal in life was to preach good news to the poor...

    Do we know God?

    Salvation is to know God (John 17:3). Most people know something about God. However, since God is infinite, it is probably difficult for finite beings like us to fully understand who God is. Yet, because God became one of us in the person of Jesus we can know Him fairly well. To know God, is...

    How to forgive?

    If we truly are Jesus’ followers we can do it like he did. Though we betrayed him and were unfaithful to him, He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds we have been healed (1Peter 2:24).

    Do we follow Jesus?

    Luke 6: 27-30 NIV "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic...
