Life is filled with questions. And lots of them. Questions
like: Why was I born? What does this life mean? and Where is this
world headed? We all have questions like these. We can help you
find the answers. We believe that the true answers to the questions
of life are found in one place - the Bible. We believe our great Creator gave us an "instruction manual" that answers the great questions of life. The United Church of God offers informative literature to help you find the answers to life's questions.

Angels: God's Messenger and Spirit Army
Angels are God's messengers and His spirit army, and they are very numerous. Make no mistake, angels do
exist! They exist to serve "those who will inherit salvation. But because they are invisible, we tend
to forget their role in carrying out God's purpose and plan. We've all heard stories of supernatural
intervention -- some of them may even be your stories! Many angels have been given the duty of serving
our needs, and their responsibilities and assignments may change with circumstances. Let's take a look
in our Bibles and examine some of the interesting and profound verses that give us insight into these
servants of God. The Scriptures have much to tell us on the fascinating subject of angels!

relationship with Jesus Christ.
Why Am I Suffering?
When tragedies happen, we ask why. Whether it happens to us personally, to our loved ones, or
to our communities, we have a natural desire to find answers. How could a loving all powerful
God allow terrible things to happen? God gives us answers. He gives us hope. The Bible is the very
Word of God, and it reveals the reasons for pain and suffering. It also gives us the hope of how to
get through trials and sorrows. God doesn't want bad things to happen to people. He loves you. He
loves people. Like a loving parent, it hurts Him to see His children in pain. In fact, it's part of God's
plan for humanity to get rid of all sadness, sorrow and pain. His plan is for every man, woman and
child to live in peace and harmony in His Kingdom. He wants this new world even more than we do.
He wants us to grow closer to Him, to obey Him, and to find true peace and comfort in His love
and way of life. The most important thing to realize is that God cares for you actively.
The Fruit of the Spirit
Jesus Christ taught important spiritual lessons regarding the "fruit" of our lives. What are those lessons,
and how well are we applying them? Our eternal life depends on this understanding!
Answers From Genesis
To much of the scientific world today, the universe is a great mystery - and a fortuitous, evolutionary
accident. Indeed the predominant model of the universe leaves the Creator entirely out of the picture.
We know the Bible tells a much different story, however. This series of articles explores the creation
of the universe as recorded in the Bible and examines how a great deal of scientific research - instead of
contradicting the Bible - actually confirms the truths God inspired to be recorded in the Bible.
