What is health? According to Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary: Health is that state of an animal or living body, in which the parts are sound, well organized and disposed, and in which they all perform freely their natural functions. In this state the animal feels no pain. This word is applied also to plants. Sound state of the mind; natural vigour of faculties. Salvation or divine favour, or grace which cheers God's people. Psalms 43:5 Wish of health and happiness; used in drinking. Come, love and health to all; an elliptical phrase, for, I wish health to you. Notice what Mr Webster states: "... the parts are sound, well organized and disposed, and in which they all perform freely their natural functions." Good health, therefore, is when all the parts of the human being are working at optimal level. Life is void of unnecessary pain, suffering, and difficulties. In his third epistle to the church, John writes, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest pros...

God made mankind to be in a relationship with their neighbours. A man is blessed if he has true friends who will accompany him in many walks of life.  When a young man comes of age and has chosen a life companion to be married, it is usually the tradition of normal wedding ceremonies that both the groom and the bride have two friends that are really significant in their lives as best man and bridesmaid.  After the night of Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, the Lord spent some time in Judea with His disciples ministering and baptizing. On another side of the country, John the Baptist continued his ministry with his disciples. Then there arose a question between some of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying. They came to John asking, "Teacher, he that was with you beyond, to whom you bare witness, and baptized, has begun baptizing and all men come to Him." John's answer is the source of the title of this blog post. He simply said, "A man can receive nothi...

Have you ever felt you're the most intelligent person in the room, and felt good about it? I have. Have you ever thought you were the most athletic in a group? I have. Have you ever thought that you've achieved things better than many around you and that made you feel better than them? I have. God cannot connect with those who live to please themselves, to make themselves first. Those who do this will in the end be last of all. The sin that is most nearly hopeless and incurable is pride of opinion, self-conceit. This stands in the way of all growth. When a man has defects of character, yet fails of realizing this; when he is so imbued with self-sufficiency that he cannot see his fault, how can he be cleansed? “They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.” Matthew 9:12 . How can one improve when he thinks his ways perfect?  (White, E. G., Testimonies for the Church, vol. 7, p. 199) There is nothing so offensive to God or so dangerous to the human soul as pri...

Time is the most important resource on planet earth. Everything that exists on its surface has a beginning and an end. The wise king Solomon says, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) God's prophecies are made up of three notable features: An event The time of the event The purpose of the event The book of Revelation was given to Jesus by His Father "...to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass..." (Revelation 1:1) Everything God does in the book of Revelation is for this one reason - to "...save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21) Every event, every admonition, every exhortation is to fulfill this grand purpose. Said the apostle Paul: "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, ...
