God wants our giving to be a secret we keep with Him. After all, God, not the IRS, keeps the ultimate books. Do we give discretely, valuing only the watchful eyes of God?

We can safely entrust our secrets with God. In fact, there are four secrets He wants us to share with Him. When we do, we'll experience some life-changing results.

The return of Jesus to this earth will be a grand event! When He comes, He will exert His kingly rule over humanity. Even those who have loved and served Him will be raised from the dead to greet Him.

Jesus will return one day, conquering the evil which saturates our world. At that time, dead and living Christians will be granted glorious new bodies. The sorrow and pain of our previous existence will be left behind.

The Bible gives tantalizing details about a heavenly kingdom and a recreated world. This near future includes a New Jerusalem with streets of gold. Are you ready for a peek into the glories of eternity?

One day Jesus will be united in heaven with His church at a great marriage supper. What will that be like? It will be a day of rejoicing for all of His people who persevered to the end!

There are many kinds of local churches, but there is a universal church destined to be with Jesus forever. Only those who believed in Jesus as their Savior according to the gospel message are a part of this global, invisible church.

In Greek, the word for church is ekklesia, the "called-out ones." As a church, we are "called-out" to be separate from the values of our culture. That's difficult, but we can support one another.

Evil is running rampant. But a day is coming when a long-delayed sentence of doom is to be carried out. Satan's ultimate end is coming, and it's not pretty.

God has sovereignty over Satan's activities on earth. And what does Satan do? Like a roaring lion, he seeks to devour the children of God.

If the devil tempted us in a red suit with a pitchfork, we'd laugh. But the real devil is disguised. Satan wants us to think he doesn't exist, even as He preys upon us.

Perfectly obedient to God, angels watch over believers. In this life, we'll never know how often they protected us from harm. They are just another aspect of God's kindness toward us.

We can't see angels, but they can see us as they minister to us. They serve God and do His bidding here on earth, even if we don't always know or sense their work.

When the government creates a law, and the Bible tells us to do the opposite, what do we do? The answers are not always clear, since we are called to obey those who rule over us. We can learn from four men handled who this in ancient Babylon.

Christians in America are rapidly becoming like Daniel and his friends in Babylon: out of sync with their pagan environment. How do we reconcile what we believe with what we have to do in order to live in such a culture?
