Should You Fear the End of the World?


Will the earth be burned up?

"He (God) has founded the earth upon its established places;  it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever." - Psalm 104:5

"But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men." - 2 Peter 3:7

How can these two seemingly contradictory verses be reconciled?

What happens at the end of the world?

"The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever." - 1 John 2:17

What is the world that is passing away? What is the will of God, and in what sense will one remain forever?

Is the end of the world really near?

"When you see these things occuring, know that the Kingdom of God is near." - Luke 21:31

What are "these things occuring", or the sign,  that we must watch out for?

The answers to these questions can be found in this link:
The End of the World - Fear, Fascination and Frustration

The article provides a crystal clear understanding of what the "end of the world" really means and what future awaits mankind.

Can We Create a Better World?



Many today are longing for a world that's free from hardship, wickedness and suffering. Some people engage in noble works in an attempt to create a better world. Politicians have high hopes in making this world a better place to live. But will they be able to attain their goals?

Here are two quotes worth pondering over.

"Real change comes heart by heart, not election by election, because our primary problems are not economic and political but moral and spiritual." - Cal Thomas, columnist & author

"In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite." - Daniel 2:44

The link below will expound on these quotations and help us analize what it takes to create a better world. 

Can You Make the World a Better Place?

YOU Are Invited...


....to commemorate the greatest expression of LOVE ever.




How do you view Jesus?          

As a Newborn Baby?

A Dying Man?

Or an Exalted King?




Jesus is now reigning as an exalted King. But what does this mean for you?

Many believe that Jesus died for them. Yet, how can one man's death almost 2,000 years ago mean life for others today?

You are cordially invited to listen to Scriptural answers to these questions. This information will be presented when Jehovah's Witnesses gather to commemorate Jesus' death on Thursday, April 5, 2012.


This special event will be held worldwide. Find out the exact time and place in your localities by getting in touch with Jehovah's Witnesses in your area. They will be very happy to assist you.

Preparing for the Future

Most people today have their minds set on acquiring much material things and make it big in the world. They spend most of their time and energy in working just to have it all or to be economically better off than their friends and neighbors. 

Sometimes, their being busy with such material endeavors leaves them no time for their spiritual needs, which is of paramount importance for a person to have a really meaningful and satisfying life. It's true that material things can do good for our survival, but these cannot give perfect health, extend our lives, keep us away from sickness and accidents, and the likes. 

On the other hand, spiritual riches can benefit us in so many ways even while we live in this wicked and suffering-infested world. They can make our lives truly worth-living and satisfying. Most of all, they can lead us to a future filled with all the things that our hearts desire; to a new paradisaic world where all people will be righteous and perfect and will live eternally just as our loving Creator has purposed it to be. 

It is therefore more important to work harder on acquiring spiritual riches first, that is, pursuing the will of God and abiding by it, than to acquire material things that cannot save us at all and that will be done away with. That means our future, a future that will last forever.

The Scripture below is worth-meditating on.

"For what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? " - Matthew 16:26

He Will Surely Provide for Our Needs

For those who put God first in their lives,  that is, who make the doing of God's will their priority, there's no cause for worry at all concerning their material needs. The Almighty Father knows all their needs, and He will surely provide for them as long as they keep the Father foremost in their lives. Here is the promise:

“Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [other] things will be added to YOU. So, never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient for each day is its own badness." 
- Matthew 6:33,34



The message is clear: If we put spiritual things first, then all our material needs will be added to us. Millions worldwide have experienced the fulfillment of this promise. They are the ones who strive to serve God first, trusting in His promises, and they have never found themselves lacking in their material provisions. 

This doesn't mean, however, that they don't work at all, and just wait for these material things to drop from heaven. They do work hard, and God blesses their efforts so that they can have what they need materially. That's how God adds to their material necessities. So they don't need to worry about the following day, knowing that God will keep providing for them.
