Forerunner: Preparing Christians for the Kingdom of God



Entering The Spiritual Hard Hat Zone (September-October 2000)

September-October 2000
Volume 9, Number 9


As Christians, we are involved in God's plan of salvation for mankind. This plan is like a long term construction project--and the project is us! Because God is working on us, we must constantly wear a spiritual hard hat to finish the job safely!  (Westock)

'Personal' from John W. Ritenbaugh
Why Worship God?

Worship is ingrained into human beings; it is almost as if we must worship something. So, why should we worship the God of the Bible rather than some other person or thing? What benefits does worship of the true God of Creation bring to those who worship Him? John Ritenbaugh provides three fundamental reasons why worship of the God of heaven and earth is necessary and beneficial to those who seek Him.

Overcoming (Part 3):
Self-Righteousness

by Martin G. Collins

On the heels of self-deception and self-justification often comes self-righteousness. This obstacle to overcoming occurs when we set our own standards rather than God's.
