The Long Journey of Faith given Peterborough Canada 16 Feb 2008 |
During the time of Christ, carnal people had their faith rewarded at times by some spectacular miracles. But for salvation, the faith required is somewhat different. Such faith must be the same kind of faith Christ himself had: A living faith that originates from God, and which enables God's children to go "the long-haul" - trusting Him, come what may.

Friends, Foes and Forgiveness given Bristol UK 9 Feb 2008 |
Many people look on the God of the Old Testament as a harsh stern monster - whereas, they view Jesus Christ as abolishing His Father's Law and instead simply forgives all and invites them to "come as they are". Nothing could be further from the truth found in scripture. The Bible - Old and New Testament - is a single revelation by a Loving God who seeks genuine repentance in all His potential sons and daughters. (11.0 Mb) | ||

We Are the Temple given 22 Aug 1981 at Big Sandy USA - Played Wales UK 2 Feb 2008 |
Begins: "... The largest group that has ever assembled here in Big Sandy. We had quite a large number when I was here, was it February or March? ..." Mr Armstrong then expands on the forum the previous day: Why Ambassador College? and explains how the whole world has lost its way - including the "christian" religions who merely want to "receive Christ", and "GET saved".

God - the Prophetic Historian given Wales UK 19 Jan 2008 |
In the sample prayer, Christ gave us a clear indication that when beginning to pray we first need to get our minds off ourselves, and onto God. An important aspect of this, is to better understand God's approach - where He is "coming from" - and notice how both the historical and the prophetic always seem inexorably linked together.
