In The Days Of The Pioneers, When Men Saw That A ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
In the days of the pioneers, when men saw that a prairie fire was coming, this is what they did. Since not even the fastest of horses could outrun it, the pioneers took a match and burned the grass in a designated area around them. Then they would take their stand in the burned area and be safe from the threatening prairie fire.
As the roar of the flames approached, they would not be afraid. Even as the ocean of fire surged around them there was no fear, because fire had already pass over the place where they stood.
When the judgment of God comes to sweep men and women into hell for eternity, there is one spot that is safe. Nearly 2,000 years ago the wrath of God was poured on Calvary. There the Son of God took the wrath that should have fallen on us. Now, if we take our stand by the cross, we are safe for time and eternity.

Worshipping The Snake
Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 30, 2023
