Introducing Our New Frequently Asked Questions Section!

Recently I’ve been thinking about Jesus’ statement to His disciples: “Lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” (John 4:35).

The “harvest” to which Jesus was referring was the spiritual work of preaching the gospel and teaching those whom God calls to His truth.

Today, the same spiritual harvest continues. The world desperately needs to hear the gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus came preaching. There is much work for us to do. And each week, we continue working the harvest. This week the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section of our website (a submenu under "Guidance") was activated.  We launched the section with answers to 20 FAQs:

• Should You Try to Convert Others?
• Is Looking at Pornography a Sin?
• What Is Tithing?
• What Does the Bible Say About Getting a Tattoo?
• What Is Meditation? How Does One Meditate?
• What’s the Best Way to Study the Bible?
• Which Bible Translation(s) Should I Use?
• How Does God Want Us to Pray?
• What Does the Bible Teach About Divorce and Remarriage?
• Is It Okay to Wear a Cross?
• Was the Sabbath Changed to Sunday?
• What Is the Origin of Easter?
• Should Christians Celebrate Christmas?
• What Does It Mean to Be Born Again?
• Does the Bible Permit the Use of Alcohol?
• What Does the Bible Say About Cremation?
• Is the Kingdom of God Within You?
• What Are the Meanings of Each of God’s Festivals?
• What Is the Punishment of the Wicked?
• What Is the Gospel?

We’re excited to share these with you, and we are in the process of adding more as our team of writers continues its work. If you have suggestions or have a question that is not answered yet, feel free to contact us.

With our Fundamental Beliefs and these FAQs now posted, the content on our website is steadily increasing. Blog writers can now start linking to these posted teachings, and we can cross-link from one to another. One of many ideas we have for the website is to start running blogs in upcoming weeks on preparing for Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread. Now that we are steadily adding content, we also plan to add a search function to the website.

The booklet The Mystery of the Kingdom is in the final stage of layout. And a new booklet, From Holidays to Holy Days: God’s Plan for You, is in the review process. This latest booklet will give information on the pagan origins of the world’s most popular holidays (Christmas and Easter) and the rich meaning of God’s festival plan.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support as we develop our literature. As we labor in God’s harvest, let’s also be encouraged by Christ’s words: “And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together” (John 4:36).
