Episode 524 Why Is There Divine Protection for Israel, America and Britain for Now?
Abraham was a special friend of God and His blessings fall upon the descendants of this Father of the faithful. One thing is clear- certain nations have experienced MIRACULOUS BLESSINGS and protection. THE WAR against Israel is not about land for peace, no, it is about the drive to destroy the Jews, genocide. The survival of Israel in 1948 against all its neighbors, was nothing short of a miracle. David Ben Gurion said the survival of Israel was an indisputable miracle.

Note the following scripture for just one such example.

518 The Apostle Paul's Wonderful Letter to the Colossians Explained
This message from the Apostle to the gentiles has spiritual and very helpful and inspiring information for believers. However as in all Bible books, much of the message is misunderstood. Colossians focuses on the head of the church, Jesus Christ. Colossians divides neatly in half- with the first half focused on doctrinal issues primarily, and the second half focused mostly on pragmatic, Christian living. Paul has extra concern for this congregation because it is one of those started by his disciple Epaphras. He has never seen them. They only know Paul by reputation.

516 The Place of Safety Controversy from a Biblical Perspective
THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IS 'WHY' GOD CHOOSES TO SHELTER US NOT HOW OR WHERE
Most prophecies are given as warnings by Prophets and emphasize why disaster is coming and who is with God and who is not with God and His protection. God sends His words of warning to His people normally based on their behavior. Those who are in a loving close relationship with God are protected, and those backsliding into idolatry are cursed. God no longer protects them.

515 'Should You Follow Your Heart?
SHOULD A BELIEVER FOLLOW HIS HEART WITH REGARD TO GOD ?
Books and movies have admonished us to follow our hearts and all our wishes will come true. Is this good advice for a true believer? Well, what should our hearts and desires set as the ideal goal? Obviously wealth does not bring happiness. One should seek our hearts desire regarding vocations and business goals etc. if they are reasonable. Getting and staying close to God should be the number one goal of our hearts.

Episode 513 The Mystery of God's Law at the Spiritual Level.
Though the Old Testament has some mention of love as being the meaning of the moral law, the emphasis is on physical obedience. However the New Testament writers emphasize the deep spiritual meaning of the law. That Paul did not reject the law but amplified it- is sometimes misunderstood. Jesus in the sermon on the mount presupposes the Ten Commandments and amplifies them. Christ puts the emphasis completely on matters of the heart.

510 Is The Seventh Day Sabbath the Test Commandment and Why? Part One
During the first few decades of the New Testament church, everyone in the church were either Jews or a small number of converts to Judaism. Further, as Jews how did they view the Seventh Day Sabbath? It was unquestionably kept and supported by all sects. Jewish sects had disagreements about various doctrines like the resurrection, see Acts 23:6-8 , but all sects supported the Sabbath. Why? It was the sign signifying who was your God. Were you worshiping the true God of Israel the creator God, or the pagan's sun god. It is the test commandment which they all learned from the first captivity NOT TO BREAK.

Episode : 506 Should Believers Care that Jesus Was Not Born on December the 25th?
If society is no longer interested in God then most would not care. Christmas on any date is a chance for extreme materialism and partying. The fastest growing segment in surveys of religion in America is not Islam - it is the Nones. The Nones are those with NO religious beliefs at all. They have no church affiliation. But true believers should care about biblical truth. The Roman Universal Church decided to place the date on the day of THE pagan sun god worship as a method of converting pagans in the Roman Empire to Catholicism. This was the primary motive for the December date. Could this possibly be the date of Jesus' birth as well? No! Absolutely not! What evidence does exist regarding the birth of Christ PROVES otherwise. December 25 is the winter solstice pagan celebration date, and is based on superstitious fear and sun worship.

Therefore it is assumed that law number two is the converse ' Spiritual Decadence comes with LACK OF thankfulness or INGRATITUDE.
