By Rich Carmicheal The hour we are living in is a very difficult hour for many people. This is not surprising since we are living in the final season before the Return of Christ. The devil knows his time is short, and so the spiritual battle for the hearts, minds and souls of mankind is […]
Soul Winners And Their Prayers
By Samuel L. Brengle (1860 – 1936) “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (Jas. 5:16).

Before Jesus began His ministry, when great […]
Repent – The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand

Living For Christ In The End Times
By David R. Reagan The Bible clearly teaches that society will degenerate in the end times, becoming as evil as it was in the days of Noah (Matt. 24:37-39). The Apostle Paul, speaking as a prophet, says that society will descend into a black pit of immorality, violence, and paganism (2 Tim. 3:1-5). He asserts […]
Live All-Out For God
By Lois J. Stucky (1928 – 2014) “We are living in the last hours of the last days of this age!” Millions are touched by calamities and sorrows. How frightening it must be to many to be living in this hour! And for us Christians, what a responsibility to be living in this hour! Our […]
