people for that Kingdom. This message not only offers great hope for all
of humanity, but encompasses the purpose of human existence—why we are
here and where our world is headed. For more information about us,

Story
How Can We Cope in a World of Rapid Change?
Do you feel bombarded with change from every direction? Do you
feel stressed, overworked, with too little time to appreciate
and enjoy life? Do you find it difficult to keep up with
everything you need to do? If so, you're not alone. Our rapidly
changing world is rapidly stressing us out. What can you do to
cope?
Are You Protected by the Ultimate Security System?
We live in a dangerous world in which natural and man-made
disasters are commonplace. Threats to our safety and security
are growing. How can you insure that you and your family are
always protected?
Immigration: How a Foreign Invasion Is Reshaping the West
In the last 50 years, millions of people from the Third
World have moved into the Western democracies. Soon they could
constitute the majority in several key countries. What does this
mean for the future?
How Can You Deal With Information Overload?
We're often bombarded with information from every direction,
leaving us stressed and fatigued. How can we better cope with
this ongoing information explosion and sort the helpful from the
wasteful?
Germany and the Euro: What Will Be the Ultimate Outcome?
A crisis often results in economic and political disaster, but
it can also foster an opportunity for exercising greater
control. Does the Bible indicate where the current crisis could
eventually take Europe?
Time Flies—How to Make the Most of It!
Benjamin Franklin said: "Dost thou love life? Then do not
squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of." The Bible
also has many things to say about time and life—things we very
much need to hear!
The Decline and Fall of Nations: A Prophetic Perspective
Ancient Babylon fell in one night after having been "weighed in
