Not many people would consider fear to be something desirable, and in the sense of terror that is absolutely true, but the Word of God does say that it is a good and necessary thing to fear the Lord. The Scriptures teach men and women that God is to be feared and how that fear is to be manifested. The

In the world in which we live, there is more information available to the average person than ever before through the various different types of media that have proliferated in recent years. There has also been the rise of 'fake' news, so that it is difficult to determine what is true and what is false in what we read, see

The first word used to describe the revelation of God in his Word is 'law' and the second is Testimony. This does not just refer to the ten commandments or indeed the Torah, but rather has the meaning of instruction or direction and encompasses the whole of the scriptures. The Word of God in both Old and New Testament has

Some readers will have seen a famous photograph from Germany in 1936. On the day it was taken, Adolf Hitler and some senior Nazis visited a shipyard for an afternoon of speeches about the glories of the Third Reich. The photo shows a sea of raised right arms as the workers (who were very much a captive audience) gave the

The Lord Jesus has just told Daniel about the powerful antichrist who attacks the followers of the one true God. It would be easy for Daniel to be overcome with despair as he considers the havoc that the church will have to endure.Yet Daniel is to be absolutely confident that God delivers his people. In v1 he is told that

Recently I read about a man who had watched a disturbing horror movie almost a year earlier and had been struggling ever since. He (barely) slept with the light on and even within his own house he was tormented by the notion of danger around every corner. Other than “don’t watch scary films”, I have little advice to give.
