If one of the wisest men who walked the earth turned away from God, then who are we to think we are immune from such a danger? We must cling to God all the days of our lives.
Paul presents Christ as preeminent over all things. Jesus is rightly celebrated as the Creator, Sustainer, and Redeemer of all.
The endless cycle of life should prompt us to consider whether this world is all there is, and if the longings of the human heart for permanence and joy have any real object of fulfillment.
God wants us to depend on Him and His power through the circumstances of life. Material wealth and fame will not bring us satisfaction and hope. The only enduring hope we have is in the LORD.
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. (James 4:14)
Is there any evidence for the end times? Are we living in the end times now? While no one knows the day nor the hour of Christ’s coming, Jesus tells His disciples to be on alert and warns them of the signs of the end times.
Let us maintain godly attitudes and actions, as we trust in the One who provides all we need through Jesus Christ.
While death is inevitable, the journey of life need not end in despair at the grave. The dilemma of mortality is answered by our hope in eternity through Jesus Christ.
