This series on angels and demons continues with a look at the types of angels that God created, their attributes, and their tasks. In the Bible, there are seven kinds of angels listed: cherubim (Genesis 3:24), seraphim (Isaiah 6:2), archangels (1 Thessalonians 4:16), and thrones, powers, rulers, and authorities, all of which are found in Colossians 1:16.

Our culture has a fascination with the supernatural, and with good reason. Everywhere one goes, there are unexplained phenomenon. People experience the unexplainable. Couple that with media focusing on the supernatural, from movies about angels and demons, to books about vampires and werewolves, to comics about ghosts and hauntings, we are bombarded by these stories.

As we wrap up this series of blogs on God’s will, let’s conclude with a look at what really matters. If someone gave you an “End of Life” test, a series of questions to use near your last days, it might look something like this: 1. Who did you love? 2. Who loved you? 3. [&hellip
Decision making and God’s will continues with this second part regarding choices that don’t involve a moral component.

In the last blog, we saw how God guides us in a sovereign way. That means that God is in total control, or is sovereign, and that unless something is [&hellip
This series of blogs will examine God’s will for your life. How can we know what God wants us to do? Clearly, God has a general will for all people. All of us are to carry out the “Cultural Commission” of Genesis 1:28. God told Adam and Eve, “‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue [&hellip
This series of blogs on eschatology, or the study of the last things, concludes with descriptions of heaven.
