God's design for family and marriage gives our relationship a beautiful and meaningful purpose and accomplishes His plans for the world. In scripture there is a providential dimension to marriage; it is to be a permanent and exclusive relationship, but also to be inclusive in the sense that it includes every part of the husband and wife's lives: their spirits, minds, hearts, and bodies. When couples are united as one, and live in this kind of unity, they reflect God's purpose for marriage.

Read how God gives hope in the face of persecution!
Read about courageous men and women whose faith is flourishing in the face of ISIS and other terrorists. You’ll weep at believers’ suffering and losses . . . and laugh at the creative audacity of indigenous church planters who just won’t take “no” for an answer, whether in the former Soviet Union, in corners of India where Hindu extremists are burning churches, in communist holdouts in other parts of Asia, or in challenging places in Africa and Latin America.

This is a topical study designed for married couples or those who are planning to be married soon. God uses the picture of the love of the Lord Jesus Christ for His Church to model the love a husband is to have for his wife. We will study the marriage links: spiritual foundation, tool of communication, compatibility, love - the dynamic of being one, understanding, and the sexual union of a happily married couple, to be the joyful expression of the oneness.

The mission objective for the Mini Bible College is to get people into the Word of God and to get the Word of God into the people. One key objective in reading the Book of Revelation should be to worship God and the Christ of the Revelation, who is King of kings and Lord of lords. If Jesus the Son of God said He did not know, we must be humble about the chronology of all the events covered in the Revelation.

The Revelation has to do with the things that shall take place in the future. John has a revelation and is told that the seven lampstands are the churches and the One in the midst of the lampstands is Christ. Chapters four and five are absolutely beautiful, filled with profound truth about heaven. Chapters six through nineteen focus on one little seven-year period known as the Great Tribulation, which is one among all the events called the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

This word "revelation" is the English way of expressing the Greek word "apocalypses," which means, "the pulling back of a veil." When we study in the area of the future, spiritual things that are yet to be fulfilled, we really need the Master Key, the Holy Spirit. God the Father is turning the center of worship in heaven from Himself to His Son, the Lamb, Who looks as if He has been slain, expressing the essence of Who and what God is.

The little Epistle of Jude expressed concern over the heresies or false teachers who speak against faith in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection. Jude tells us false teachers are like clouds promising rain but producing nothing. The Revelation is the most difficult book in the Bible to understand for it is written in sign language. God pulled back the veil and gave John a revelation of Jesus Christ and of things to come which cannot be known without the revelation.

John tells that we must love one another, then he gives us ten reasons why. The love chapter of the Bible tells us to love because love is of God. God is love. Love is the essence of Who God is. "This commandment we have from Him, that he who loves God, will also love his brother." We love God because He first loved us and perfect love casts out all fear. It is impossible to be a secret disciple of Jesus Christ.

In First John we see more assurances of salvation: love for fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, love for God the Father, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Who makes us know what we know spiritually. John also points out that the children of God do not make it a practice to sin. Our salvation is not based upon how our hearts may feel. Our salvation is based upon the fact that we believe the Gospel.

The Epistle of First John writes to those who believe, that they might know that they know they believe, and then really believe. In a word, we are looking for assurance, assurance of salvation. The two Gospel facts, remember, are these: the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was not just that God would forgive His people of their sins, but He would save His people from their sins. The evident assurance of your salvation is fruitfulness.

In Second Peter we learn that grace and peace can be multiplied to us through the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ our Lord. We can come into the heavenly dimension and into the knowledge of God, and He endows us with everything we need for life and godliness. Peter explains how, when we come to the Light of the Word, and apply His Word to our lives, the Morning Star rises in our hearts and Christ is born in us.

Peter tells us the end of all things is near and in light of that, what kind of people should we be. We should be calm, self-controlled people of prayer; we should be hospitable; love one another, remembering that love covers a multitude of sins. The one thing that distinguishes one person from another is not whether they suffer but how they cope with their suffering. The purpose of suffering is to "make you perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you."
