Dec 1991 - Editorial

Our studies this year of the Lord's parables have covered a wide range of Bible truth. They have been a useful exercise for writers and editors, and we trust for readers as well.

For 1992 God willing, we plan to deal with the Lord's miracles, and also to publish a second invited series, "More Meditations in the Psalms", supplementing a similar series published in 1990. It is our earnest hope that readers will find spiritual profit in these articles. They will be supported by the usual regular features, plus some short "fillers".

The parables of the kingdom of heaven, the theme of our main article this month, is not an easy subject, but we hope Mr. Prasher's presentation will be found helpful. It is an essay put forward for careful consideration, rather than a dogmatic statement.

The disturbed state of the world today is a source of much anxiety. Christians are not immune from such worries, but we find comfort in the knowledge that God is in control and has forewarned us in Scripture about strife among nations in the last days (Mat: 24:6,7). Focus reviews ominous movements among nations in recent months, pointing on to the imminent Rapture of the Church and then the beginning of Christ's glorious reign on earth. "let not your hearts be troubled" (John 14:1).
