You've probably noticed that the October issue is somewhat different.  I'm experimenting with the new layout.  Once you let me know what you like best I'll settle into this format permanently.

God promises us a lot. We know his promises from studying the Word, the Bible. It is very important that we study the bible so we can know not only God's promises to us but also what He wants from us. Promises are usually interactive. If we promise someone something, it may or may not be based on conditions, however, it does involve another person. God wants to be involved in our lives. He wants us to look to Him for everything. He want us to learn to trust Him and to obey.

Please be sure to read all the articles and columns this month. And we would like to encourage you to email our writers your comments about their submissions.
