[34]. GOD BUILDS UP, BUT SATAN BUILDS DOWN To build up is to edify. To edify is to improve, make morally stronger and sets one on the path to the goodness of God. Christians are to edify – to build up – not just themselves, but others. The purpose of Christians in the world is to serve and glorify the Saviour.

We can have hard times because it is possible for a Christian to slip up and fall into sin. Don’t shun that person; help the one who has fallen. Tha ..read more

I heard it this week on a podcast, in which a discussion was taking place about the never-ending torture known as the Arab-Israeli conflict. As I’ve written many times, for 30 years-plus, the Left has pushed the fiction that the solution to the Middle East conflict is “two states, living side-by-side in peace.” It was always a lie.
