    Just like God had a plan and purpose for Jeremiah, so He does with each of us.

    This was the question asked by a young woman, who said she did not believe in God. As I thought upon the question, the thought of how a husband and wife plans for their expectant child came to me. They are well aware of the corruption, crime, disease and hatred in the world that the child will ...read more

    A honest to goodness look at what worship is all about; not an opinion, but what the Bible says about it.

    WEIGHING OUR WORSHIP Jn. 4:22-24 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. (KJV) 22 Vosotros adoráis lo que no sabéis; nosotros adoramos lo que sabemos; porque la salvación viene de los judíos. (RVG04) 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the ...read more

    Gold wants love and genuine caring concern in all our giving. He could care less about giving by rote, without a heart of worship.

    What Does The Bible Say About Homosexuality?

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Feb 3, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,127 views

    Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her). Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross and repented of.

    The Bible, as God's word, reveals God's moral character and it shapes the morality of the Christian. The Bible has much to say about homosexuality: 1. Lev. 18:22 , "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." 2. Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a ...read more

     | 3,601 views

    After his resurrection and before his ascension Jesus left some vivid memories for his friends that would sustain them in the future. At the Lake Jesus shows them he is with them, and he will provide for their needs.

    The message of Jesus has always divided people, just as Brown, Cameron and Clegg are almost equally divided in today’s up to date General Election Opinion Polls. Those who hated Jesus conspired to have him crucified. He could have avoided it but he took the ultimate hit. For two days his ...read more
