Many people are very confused about the Holy Spirit. They not only do not understand what it is; they have no idea what it is supposed to do in their lives or why they need it. What about you? Do you really understand the answer to these questions?

We live in a world of fear and anxiety. Man is increasingly being forced to come to grips with the limits of his technology. All of our vaunted advances in education and the dissemination of information have not made this world a safer place. What is a person to do in a hostile, crazy world?

Faith in God is listed as one of the fundamental teachings of Scripture (Hebrews 6:1–2). In fact, Christians are told that “without faith it is impossible to please Him” (Hebrews 11:6). However, Jesus Christ, looking ahead to the end of this present age—our time today—raised a sobering question to His disciples. He asked, “when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).

The man sitting across the table seemed very sincere. "I believe that it is just as important to keep the third commandment as it is to keep the fourth one," he said. Of course, he was absolutely right. It is vital to keep the third commandment. The Apostle James reminds us that if we break one point of the law, we have broken the entire law (James 2:10). The question that we must then ask is: exactly what does the third commandment enjoin us to do? Does hallowing the name of the Creator mean that we should use only certain Hebrew names?

The long-anticipated year 2000 was a significant benchmark in the way we count time. It marked the final year of both the twentieth century and of the second millennium since the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. In actuality, Christ was probably born about four years earlier than the commonly accepted date, which was calculated by the monk Dionysius Exiguus from the records available to him in the sixth century.
