A United World - Is it Possible?

Is there any hope that our world will ever be united? Frankly, yes! But the source of true unity is not man  or man-made religions.

"The Bible contains God's promise that the world will be unified but not by man's efforts. The Creator, who purposed that mankind would live in peace worldwide, will accomplish what man cannot. To some, all of that might seem far-fetched. Yet, God's purpose from the very beginning has been for mankind to live in peace and harmony. Many Scriptures in the Bible give evidence that bringing the human race into a unified condition is still God's purpose. Consider just a few examples:

"Come, you people, behold the activities of Jehovah, how he has set astonishing events on the earth. He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; the wagons he burns in the fire." - Psalm 46:8,9

"They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain;  because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea." - Isaiah 11:9

"He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it." - Isaiah 25:8

"There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell." - 2 Peter 3:13

"He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4

Can You Control Your Destiny?

What controls your future? Here are two opposing statements regarding this.

"Humans can no more be masters of their destiny than any other animal." - John Gray, evolutionist

"Man is not an animal, and is therefore always in control of his own destiny." - Shmuley Boteach, author of the book An Intelligent Person's Guide to Judaism

Many people believe that blind forces of nature control the destiny of the human family. Others thinks that  man is a creation of God equipped with the  ability to have control over his future.

Some feel that their future is controlled by powerful human forces. Others throughout history have felt helpless because they thought that supernatural forces controlled their destiny.

What about you? What do you believe? Has your destiny already been fixed by forces completely beyond your control?  Or is there some truth in Shakespeare's words, "Men at some time are masters of their fates"?

The link below gives an in-depth examination of this subject. Please follow and read on.

Can You Trust the Bible?

It's an ancient book, and yet the message is always fresh. It's still practical even in this period of advanced technology.

Hence, the World Book Encyclopedia has this to say regarding this book:  "The Bible is the most widely distributed book in history."

"Millions of people the world over place their full trust in an ancient book called the Holy Bible. They look to this book to direct their steps. They base their decisions on its advice and pattern their actions after its teachings. Are such individuals stepping, as it were, onto rotten planks?"

"Trust not to rotten planks," wrote English dramatist William Shakespeare. Indeed before stepping onto  the wooden planks of a boat, you would want to be sure that the wood was not rotten.

Those words of Shakespeare echo the sentiments of wise King Solomon of ancient Israel, who some 3,000 years ago wrote: “A fool will believe anything; smart people watch their step.” (Proverbs 14:15, Today’s English Version)
