     | 5,156 views

    WHO IS GOD THE FATHER? In 2006, a sociologist at Baylor University released a study done by the Gallup organization that identified four views people had of God. 31.4 percent believe in an "Authoritarian God," a God who is angry at humanity’s sins. 23 percent believe in a "Benevolent God" who is ...read more

    GOD IS NEVER UNSURE Pastor and author A. W. Tozer once said: "All of God’s acts are consistent with all of his attributes. No attribute contradicts any other, but all harmonize and blend into each other in the infinite abyss of the Godhead. All that God does agrees with all that God is, and being ...read more

  • God's Wise Design

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Feb 14, 2009
     | 2,247 views

    GOD’S WISE DESIGN Because nature is clouded by sin, it gives only an indistinct picture of God. Much of His great wisdom and marvelous design, however, can still be clearly traced. For instance, the earth rotates on its axis at approximately 1000 miles per hour. If that had been 100 miles per ...read more

    GOD'S VALENTINE'S DAY If yesterday is like Valentine's Days of the past, over $1 billion was spent on chocolate, $1 billion on cards, and 218 million roses were sold in the pursuit of or in an attempt to demonstrate love. The Bible tells us that God sent the first Valentine. He showed what true ...read more

  • Loyalty To God Or Ourselves?

    LOYALTY TO GOD OR OURSELVES? When I was in seminary, I had some conversations with some fellow students, with a good mentor and friend Ron Mabry, with a Dr. Stafford and the credentialing team in Indiana. Through these interactions God was speaking to me and asking me where my loyalties to lie? Is ...read more

    WHAT OTHER GODS? What other gods could we have besides the Lord? Plenty. For Israel there were the Canaanite Baals, those jolly nature gods whose worship was a rampage of gluttony, drunkenness, and ritual prostitution. For us there are still the great gods Sex, Shekels, and Stomach (an unholy ...read more

    HIDE AND SEEK WITH GOD This week I have been hammered by the immensity of what it means to "abandon," "forsake," or "leave alone" the omnipresent God, God who is everywhere. How is that possible? It is ONLY possible if God allows us to leave, allows us to turn our back upon God Himself. Yes, it ...read more

    God Will Make A Way in a Tragedy 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brothers, pray for us that the message of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you. (NIV) In other words, as we depend on the Lord, then we persevere in loving each other like Christ did. As we depend on the ...read more

  • A Problem Worthy Of God

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Jan 18, 2010
     | 3,283 views

    A PROBLEM WORTHY OF GOD Martin Luther says the fact that a moral and just God can let the guilty go unpunished is "a problem worthy of God." Any judge who sets a guilty person free with no punishment is immoral and unjust. Suppose a Judge has a man before him who is guilty, but has truly had a ...read more

    GOD SHOWING THROUGH One Sunday morning a little girl on her way home from Sunday school in the car said to her parents, "I don't understand." Her parents said "What don't you understand, sweetheart?" She said "Well, our Sunday school teacher today told us that God is inside of us!" "That's right ...read more

    GOD'S BOOT CAMP When a civilian enters the military, they go through boot camp. It's my understanding that in boot camp, the individual is broken down, and they are retrained to see themselves as part of the unit. They are conditioned to be disciplined to obey the commands of their superiors. In a ...read more

    BRAINERD: HONOR TO GOD Let me leave you with some words from the famous American colonial missionary to the Indians, David Brainerd, who died at the age of twenty-nine. His diary reveals a young man intensely committed to God. Brainerd once said to Jonathan Edwards: "I do not go to heaven to be ...read more

  • Process-Oriented God

    The following thoughts are from Sy Rogers: God is event and process oriented – Most Christians are only event orientated. But the development of a baby is a process caused by one passionate event in the bedroom. Birth is an event but there is a process of growth and maturity. God will not zap a ...read more

  • The Love For God's House

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Apr 14, 2010
     | 3,204 views

    THE LOVE FOR GOD'S HOUSE No wonder the Psalmist longed for God’s House. It is sad that many people, even some who claim to know Christ, take so little interest in His church-—the Church He purchased with His own blood. Some people only show up on important occasions in life. The only time the ...read more

    I get the privilege and opportunity to speak to many old people in the course of my day.

    GOD'S STRANGE ANSWERS He was a Christian, and he prayed. He asked for strength to do greater things, but he was given infirmity that he might do better things. He asked for riches that he might be happy; he was given poverty that he might be wise. He asked for power that he might have the ...read more
