    Babylon is more than a ancient land mentioned in the Bible. Babylon is anywhere we as believers don't belong. It is being held captive by the devil.

    INTRODUCTION: The sentiment of the Israelites during this difficult time in their history is summed up there in the fourth verse. "How shall we sing the Lord's song in this strange land?" In other words, we really don't belong here in Babylon. We are aliens here. We are refugees here. We are ...read more

    Part 3 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean hillside as he delivered what is more familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” In this part we examine the beatitude, “Blessed are those who mourn.”

    This sad account of the people of God finds them at one of the lowest points in their rich history. I would like to suggest to you that there is a message of hope hidden in the text and a challenge to keep on keeping on.

    No Place Like Home

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 9, 2022

    We would sooner give up everything of human worth, even earthly joy, physical health and wholeness, than lose that gift. For this is our true home: in Zion, with God, and in his house. This is always home for God’s people: to be with Him!

    There’s no place like home. You realize that when you’ve been away for a while: maybe on vacation, a business trip, or in the hospital. Home is a refuge. For when we’re at home, we’re surrounded by the familiar. Home is security and comfort. There’s no place like it. But how do we know when we’ve ...read more
