I met an older gentleman who was stationed in Japan many years ago. He and a number of men had contracted meningitis and of those who had gotten it, he was the only one who survived.

Lloyd said, as he lay in that hospital bed, that God, whom he didn’t know yet, spoke to him, and he looked at me to make sure I understood him, and of course, I did, and gave him a look of assurance.

“Lloyd, you are going to live.”

“I didn’t know the Lord, yet, and I certainly didn’t know he would speak to me, but as I lay there in that bed, as clear as day, He spoke to me.”

Others had begun to line up behind him as we finished service that morning and I prayed for him, reminding him to live.

That is what the Lord put on my heart for him and maybe for you, too.

You.

Live.

Until you die, live!

Really live!

Foundations of Faith

The basic doctrines, the foundation, of the Christian faith are the subject of this completely online Bible study course.

Foundations of Faith

There are two reasons for failure to live a victorious Christian life. The first reason is that some who are trying to live like Christians have never been born again. They do not understand the basic doctrines of Jesus Christ. The second reason for failure is not going on to spiritual maturity. The focus of this study is that  maturity.

Kingdom Living

All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world. In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.

Kingdom Living

Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God. This study concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers, and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of things which result in being cast out.
