The Lawless One or Antichrist (part 1) - Study 2/17/11

The Lawless One or Antichrist (part 1) President Obama is the antichrist. You are probably shocked if you are hearing this assertion for the first time. All you need to do is Google “Obama as antichrist”. You will be amazed of the amount of the returns on this subject. We do not have time to explore what has been written because it is nonsense even when they used the Scripture to support their positions. Obama is not the first world leader that had been dubbed the antichrist. It sounds more like a political commentary by the opposing party of the President that is in the White House. It used to Ronald Reagan and in between him and Obama, it used to Bill Clinton and then George W. Bush. Way down in history other world leaders had been declared the antichrist like Mikhail Gorbachev of Russia, Pope Benedict XVI and Roman Emperor Nero Caesar. Why are we on this subject anyway? Chapter 2 of the Letter to the Thessalonians is on this subject. Remember Apostle Paul is writing to encourage the...

My Purpose/Reason for Living - Study 2/10/11

My Purpose/Reason for Living I heard about three carpenters working on the initial construction of one of the oldest cathedrals in the United Kingdom, Saint Paul’s Cathedral. One by one they were asked what they were doing. The first one said, “I am just hammering nails to a piece of wood”.

Unfortunately, a lot of people are going through the motions and not knowing why they do what they do though it may be important stuff. Purpose is given by the one who is higher and superior. Purpose is also revealed by the one who gives purpose. In our study for today, Apostle Paul prays an...

God is Just and He will Judge Rightly - Study 2/3/11

GOD IS JUST AND HE WILL JUDGE RIGHTLY Everyone is crying for justice. Starting from the basic family unit to the national and world levels, everyone is crying for justice. In the family, children hope their parents and siblings treat them justly and likewise spouses demand justice from one another. At the state and national levels citizens are demanding justice for equal treatment and fairness from their leaders in the use of national wealth and resources. At the world level nations are demanding justice from other nations for equal treatment, respect and seeking freedom from exploitation. As we speak today there is a wave and large cry for justice in the North African countries where massive demonstrations are taking place demanding change in governments from abusive leaders and misuse of national resources. Truth be told, such demonstrations should be going on in all of the African countries and the USA and all nations of the earth. Why the cry for justice? I want justice and likewi...
