Prepare by Praying the Word in Spirit

Our human spirit mingled with the divine Spirit (“one spirit” 1 Cor. 6:17) is a key to our preparation for the glorious visible return of the Lord Jesus and for New Jerusalem.

For example, John’s Gospel – after its cosmic introduction – opens with three very short, personal stories. The first begins with John the Baptist standing… Continue reading To the World and the Skeptics at Home

Be children in mischief, adults in righteousness

By Elizabeth Prata Brothers, do not be children in your thinking.
