     | 1,198 views

    Your best defense against temptation is quoting the written Word of God. Therefore, learn the Bible, memorized the Bible, and use the Bible.

The tempter said ‘if you are the Son of God … stones become bread. Jesus … ‘It is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word … mouth of God.’ ...read more

Koplitz 13 Then they * sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement. 14 They came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but ...read more

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 16, 2022
     | 3,936 views

    Psalm 100 shows how seriously worship was taken in Old Testament times. That in itself is enough to tell us we should take worship seriously today. There is a back and forth rhythm to this Psalm.

    Do you need to learn to do something new? How will you learn? You could read a how to book. You could watch an instructional video on the internet. But if you want to know how to worship God you should spend time in Psalm 100 the divinely inspired how to worship guide. Psalm 100 Shout for joy to ...read more

    The Tomb Is Empty

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 19, 2023
     | 1,705 views

    The empty tomb is all the evidence we need to prove the central claim of Christianity: the resurrection of Jesus.

    There’s an old joke that people tell about cemeteries when they drive by: ‘How many people are dead in that one?’ the answer, of course, is “All of them.” It’s true, isn’t it? Tombs are for people who have died. The really important ones may be called sepulchres or mausoleums. Some of them are ...read more

     | 736 views

    The presence and personal interest of God in the affairs of His creation is evident to those who have eyes to see (Romans 1:18-22). He gives us proof of His existence, regardless of the world's blindness to the obvious.
