Secrets.

Secrets.

It’s better to avoid putting skeletons in your closet.

Wise people know that they should not be doing things that they would not want revealed to others. All too often we are fooled into thinking that if nobody is watching, we can get away with things. That is a flaw of character as well as a great misunderstanding. Things that we do have a tendency to become known.

Jesus explained the benefit of doing good things in secret (Matthew 6:3-4). Good things, too, have a way of becoming known. What would we rather be known for—doing good deeds of doing evil deeds? A good name (reputation) is worth more than gold (Proverbs 22:1).Image may contain: 2 people, people sitting

  Welcome to Hell . what does the bible say? People often speak of heaven as "up" and hell as "down." In the Old Testament the Hebrew word sheol was used for hell or the grave while the Greek word used in the New Testament, hades, referred to the unseen world of the dead and was often associated with judgment. Gehenna was another Greek word used to describe hell, meaning the Valley of Hinnom. This valley existed outside of the city of Jerusalem as a burning rubbish heap and was associated with judgment and fire (Matthew 10:28; Mark 9:43). Where is hell? While some passages speak of hell or the place of judgment being below the earth or downward (1 Samuel 28:13-15; Luke 10:15), hell exists in a non-physical realm. Similar to heaven, hell exists beyond our physical universe as a place where the souls of humans continue to dwell. For unbelievers, hell includes ongoing torment (Luke 16:23) and is permanent (Luke 16:26). Those in hell appear to be able to see at least pa...

What is the one-world religion described in Revelation?

What is the one-world religion described in Revelation? What will be the one-world religion of the end times?. Revelation 17 speaks of a "great prostitute" (or "great harlot") that is generally understood as a metaphor for a false religion that will exist during the tribulation period. Many have debated the identity of this religion, with some arguing the Roman Catholic Church, Islam, or another  large religious movement will be the end-times, one-world religion. However, it is more likely that the false religion of the last days will consist of an inclusive religion that allows for a pluralistic view of God. This would include even liberal monotheistic groups that see "all religions as one" and are willing to worship the Antichrist in the last days. Whatever this religion is, it will certainly exclude any faith that is exclusive and refuses to worship the Antichrist or his image. Revelation 17:6 states, "And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of ...

American King James Version And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.Acts 16:31. 16:25-34 The consolations of God to his suffering servants are neither few nor small. How much more happy are true Christians than their prosperous enemies! As in the dark, so out of the depths, we may cry unto God. No place, no time is amiss for prayer, if the heart be  lifted up to God. No trouble, however grievous, should hinder us from praise. Christianity proves itself to be of God, in that it obliges us to be just to our own lives. Paul cried aloud to make the jailer hear, and to make him heed, saying, Do thyself no harm. All the cautions of the word of God against sin, and all appearances of it, and approaches to it, have this tendency. Man, woman, do not ruin thyself; hurt not thyself, and then none else can hurt thee; do not sin, for nothing but that can hurt thee. Even as to the body, we are cautioned against the sins which do harm to that. Conv...
