How New is the New Testament?
We must be clear on one point: the Christian God is no different from the one who revealed himself to Moses. If Jesus relied so extensively on the Old Testament, who are we to shrug it off? Where would we be without the Ten Commandments?

True Worshipers
Worship is more than going to a religious place in order to do religious things. To worship God in spirit and in truth means to love others and to demonstrate that love by doing good to them.

Call to Repentance

Standing for the Truth

Waiting Upon God
Isaiah promises that if we wait upon the Lord, we shall renew our strength and 'soar up to Heaven on eagles' wings.' What, exactly does it mean to 'wait upon the Lord?' Is waiting upon God something that we do passively or actively?
