We are running a race; our purpose is to please God and do His Will, and our goal is to make Heaven at last with great rewards. If we know the value of the race we are involved in and the things which God has prepared for us at the end, we will sell all that we have and buy them! Run in such a way that you may obtain the prize of our race. You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Take heed to yourself and to the Doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

Orderliness refers to the fact of having a regular, proper, and systematic arrangement. It is the quality of being in a good order. Orderliness is being in an ordered manner. An orderly thing can be by virtue of being methodical and well organized. God likes and cherishes orderliness and doing things orderly. The Word of God says, "Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Cor. 14:40). In manner, behaviour, and actions, orderliness has to do with obedience to the Word of God. Disobedience is disorderliness. When God sent King Saul on a mission to annihilate the Amalekites and their livestock, he obeyed; but his obedience was partial obedience, which God counted as disobedience. And his story is a pathetic story, because he might have done what he did with good intentions. But what is good in disobeying God's Word, Command, and Instructions? He was disorderly and disobedient before the Almighty. There should be orderliness in the church, in the family, in the society, etc.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.aEUR"Hebrews 12:1 Living in spiritual suppression for many years, this mother and daughter overcame many struggles to follow Jesus Christ, while unable to obtain proper guidance from the church family they are supposed to rely on.

Prepare yourself for a journey as they reveal some of the mysteries of the Bible they have discovered,A to build their own faith in the one who gave it all for us (Jesus).

The great tribulation is coming! The beast is coming! The mark of the beast is coming! Are you ready for the terror that is coming soon? A monstrous one world government is in the making.

These groups are openly advocating the destruction of nationalism and capitalism that fuel independence, progress, and prosperity. The beast that Daniel predicted will also feature a mixture of religion that holds power over the government; a very frightening thought. Read all about it here!

Demian is generally considered to be Hermann Hesse's finest novel. This classic is a landmark in literature, a standout among traditional stories of the journey to the self. This fresh new translation faithfully reproduces the lively style and impact of Hesse's original writing. The work is autobiographical, and as Hal Hager has observed, "In Demian, published under the pseudonym of its protagonist and narrator, Emil Sinclair, Hesse succeeded for the first time in bringing together in a coherent fashion his main concerns and beliefs." It is a cure for nihilism, Facebook, and self-despair.

This book reflects my pondering the basic tenets of Christianity, such as the Trinity and the value of Scripture, in forming a more viable Christian faith in the 21st Century. It asks big questions about God and Jesus Christ, about the tense relationship between Christianity and Judaism, about how we better bolster and maintain our faith as well as about miracles and the many people indifferent to God at all. This book is particularly for those who have left the Church and need guidance without its structure and habits with which we are all familiar. It is for those forging your own faith and needing more than Scripture alone. It is for those interested in the divine realm of spirituality beyond what Scripture generally describes. This book is purposely designed to take you somewhere else than you have likely considered before. It may well change your life.
