Noah’s Time and Ours

Text: But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of Heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be. Matt.24:36, 37

The prophetic discourse of Matt.24 and 25 was given by our Lord in answer to the inquiry of his disciples, “When shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Chap.24:3.

Here are two questions; one relating to the destruction of Jerusalem; the other to the second coming of Christ. The text relates to the latter. We solemnly believe that the day and hour, and even the year, of the second advent are purposely hidden. Some of the prophetic periods reach to the time of the end, while others extend still further down very near the end itself, to an event of which we shall speak hereafter, yet none of them reach to the coming of the Son of Man. The prophecies clearly point to the period of the second advent, but do not give the definite time of that event.

Exercise: 7 benefits of regular physical activity

You know exercise is good for you — but do you know how good? From boosting your mood to improving your sex life, find out how exercise can improve your life.

By Mayo Clinic staff

Want to feel better, have more energy and perhaps even live longer? Look no further than old-fashioned exercise.

The merits of regular physical activity — from preventing chronic health conditions to promoting weight loss and better sleep — are hard to ignore. And the benefits are yours for the taking, regardless of age, sex or physical ability. Need more convincing? Check out seven specific ways exercise can improve your life.

1. Exercise improves your mood.

Need to blow off some steam after a stressful day? A workout at the gym or a brisk 30-minute walk can help you calm down.

Physical activity stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out. You’ll also look better and feel better when you exercise regularly, which can boost your confidence and improve your self-esteem. Regular physical activity can even help prevent depression.

Healing Foods of the Bible
The Scripture and your diet

Apples

Song of Solomon 2:5
Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.

Barley

Deuteronomy 8:7-9
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land–a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; 9) a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.

The Sinner’s Great Need of Salvation

Salvation is saving man from the consequences of sin, especially deliverance from sin and eternal death.  Christ, through His death on the cross and His heavenly intercession in the Sanctuary above, and His life of victory over sin, we have power over all sins.  Salvation is the need of every human heart, “for all have sinned, come short of the glory of God.” Roman 3:23. 

By whom or through whom is salvation possible?

“Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye cruHoly Biblecified, whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”  Acts 4:10, 12.  Also see Matthew 1:21.  It is impossible of ourselves to escape from the pit of sin in which we find ourselves in.  Our hearts are evil and we cannot change them. 

What is humanity’s condition?

1. We are born in sin.  Psalm 51:5; 5:3; Isaiah 48:8.
2. Our understanding is darkened.   Ephesians 4:8.
3. Our hearts are full of evil.  Jeremiah 17:9.
4. We are spiritually dead.  Ephesians 2:1.
