A Magazine for Young Christians of All Ages.
It is not surprising to us believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Scriptures that all the hopes and talks about ending all wars that ha...
We may well ask the question as to why the apostle Paul in writing to a privileged and faithful assembly such as Ephesus thought it was necessary f...
In the Epistle to the Ephesians, we have a most remarkable unfolding of truth centered in the Person of Christ, where He is now a glorified Man at...
Perhaps one of the earliest outward marks of inward decline in a Christian is the readiness to excuse oneself from a life of devotedness to the Lor...
God gives us peace in Himself which is beyond our understanding. We are in relationship with God; He is our refuge in all things, and events do not...

It is hard to believe that this year 2026, the magazineToward The Mark is 25 years old! The Lord is faithful!! Over the years, many have asked about the origin of Toward the Mark. It was through a deep and prayerful exercise over a two-year period that the need for a Christian magazine that published “things new and old” was realized. In a time when there was a movement to depart from the old path and remove the ancient landmarks, there was a gr...
From Egypt up to the river Jordan, the deliverance of the people is characterized by two great events, the Passover and the Red Sea, and to understand the third great event, that is, the crossing of the Jordan, it is well to get hold of the meaning of the first two. All three are types of the death of Christ, but its aspects are so rich, so various, and so infinite that we need all these, and many others, in order to comprehend some...
There are not many mentions of the word “godly” in the Old Testament, but the few passages that speak of the godly show that God’s pleasure was found in them. Of the three or four Scriptures in which the word is found, the first says, “But know that the Lord has set apart him that is godly for Himself” (Psalm 4:3). David evidently thought that godly men were scarce in his day, for he wrote, “Help, Lord, for the godly man ceases” (Psa...
As we step into a New Year, the world tells us to focus on goals, success, and self-improvement. But the Lord calls us to something deeper—not a new version of ourselves, but a transformed life surrendered to Him. The Lord Jesus does not invite us to follow Him casually. “And He said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23). That word matters: daily....
We have often heard the phrase, "Let go and let God." But too many of us regard it as a mere saying rather than an experience. Had Moses been like many of us, he would have appointed a "dipping committee" to work on the Red Sea during the crisis hour. Had Joshua had some of our traits, he would have had a "chiseling committee" busily working on Jericho's walls instead of just marching. If Hananiah, Mishael, Azaria...
On the night between December 31, 2025, and January 1, 2026, a fire broke out in a bar in Crans-Montana, Valais, Switzerland. The alert to the police came around 1:30 a.m. Over 100 people were in the bar at that time to celebrate the New Year. According to first accounts, over 40 people were killed and at least 100 were injured. Police said the fatal blaze occurred at the ski resort bar packed with young people ringing in...
