Introduction

are living in the information age. We are constantly being inundated with so much information that it is next to impossible to keep up with the information in one’s own field of interest, let alone all the other fields of knowledge.

When it comes to biblical knowledge and the essential knowledge for spiritual salvation, the "information glut" seems to have swamped us with so much knowledge that we have difficulty in sorting out what is really important. The impression one gets from the religious authorities is that unless you go to a seminary for many years and acquire great theological knowledge, there is no way you can understand the Bible.

Well, as some of you already know, there is good news beyond these assumptions! God has hidden the truth from the wise and mighty of this world and revealed it unto babes, to those who may not necessarily have a higher education.

That is why this site concentrates on five foundational areas of truth. The reader will find that these areas of truth cover the essential areas that will lead one not only to the knowledge of how to attain success in this life, but also to the knowledge that will last for all eternity. This site will examine the areas that are shown by our Maker to be the essential areas that lead to LIFE – and I mean true Life, flowing over with happiness and blessings. Once a person has been called and drawn of God by His awesome invitation to be part of His Family, life truly begins. Let's examine these areas and see that if we cover them from God's perspective – from His Instruction Book for all mankind, the Bible – we will understand why they are the key areas of essential knowledge.

I – God. The first area is the knowledge of the True God. False gods abound, but there is only one true God – so states James in his epistle: "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well ..." (James 2:19).

This one true God planned to create a world which could be inhabited by beings that He would create. The fascinating story of this is covered in the article Never Before Understood in our Study Topics section.

Of course, you may have to prove that God exists. There is a way to prove that, without just relying on faith or your own feelings. The article Does God Exist? is a must read for all who visit this site (see Study Topics).

In the article Why God Is Not Real to Most People, the author examines the perplexing admission of most that even though they acknowledge that there must have been a Creator, He remains distant to them, a quandary, somewhat like a cosmic cloud. This article will provide you with proof from God's Word that God can be real to you, and your life can take a whole new meaning when you begin to learn about your Creator.

This area of knowledge will affect how you live as well, because when you discover that you can turn over your plans and dreams over to the Creator, so that He can show you His plan for you, then you are able to enter into real living, as is brought out in the article in the fourth area (Success), This Is the Life! – Real Abundant Living!

II – Bible. In order for you to come to know the true God, you must read His Instruction Book for all mankind. In Hebrews 11:6 we read, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." We must come to fully believe that God exists and that He is a rewarder of all those that truly seek Him.

In His Word, God has many promises you can claim. You can begin studying the Bible as never before so that you can discover what those promises are. Some of those promises are explained in the enlightening booklet, now placed on this site, Ending Your Financial Worries. The dynamic explanation comes straight from the Bible. Another "must read."

III – Church. In the Bible, we read that Jesus said, "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). With all the religious confusion around us, there exists a lively spiritual organism that you can come to know, if God is calling and drawing you into a relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. In that Body you will come to know other believers, who have also been drawn by a miraculous process, and placed in that Body of believers. Fellowship with the one true God – who is a Family – fellowship with the Father and the Son, is available in this Body of believers. When you are brought to and placed in that Church, you will also discover what incredible fellowship you can have with others who have been called out of this society to become part of God's society, His Church.

As you read the articles in this section you will discover truths that you may not have seen before.

IV – Success. Many have thought that "religion" is for little old ladies in felt hats going to church on Sunday mornings, where they will hear a "vicar" giving sentimental sweet-nothings to these dear old souls who have nothing better to do. Not so! Your Bible has the secrets for success, to make this life worthwhile. Listen to what the apostle Paul wrote to Timothy: "Godliness if profitable for all things, having promise of the life THAT NOW IS and of that which is to come" (1 Timothy 4:8).

Read the article, This Is the Life! – Real Abundant Living. You may never before have read an article like this. It is vibrant, alive, and stirring! We challenge you to look into it and you will see that it has a message for you, right now. Your life can be a glorious success. Take the challenge! Look into it!

V – Qualify to Rule. Believe it or not, if you are being called of God, if you are being chosen to be part of a pioneer group, then you have been called to qualify to rule! Read the article on overcoming and see the awesome destiny to which you have been called. In the first section of topics you will find the powerful article, Why Were You Born? It is the precursor to the topics contained in the Overcoming section. Do you have some habit you would love to get rid of? Would you like to have some new habits that would make you a more successful and happy person? In this section you need to read the article, How To Be an Overcomer.

Conclusion. Once you have read the articles in each area of these five foundational truths, you will see, if God is opening your eyes to see more clearly, that these areas cover all aspects of life, both here and now and in the next life! This is awesome knowledge, giving you an overview that few possess. Very intelligent people, statesmen in the world, rulers and presidents – for the most part – have not been given this knowledge! Even angels have desired to know some of the things that will be revealed to you as you apply these keys to understanding God's Instruction Manual, the Bible (1 Peter 1:12).

It is our hope and wish that you will begin that journey today. Welcome to the Bible Fund webpage!  bƒ
