In A World Gone Mad, Where Is God?

Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 28, 2019

When we cry out "It's not fair," we are forgetting that God has fixed a day when He will judge the world in righteousness. Followers of the Christ must look to Him to make right the wrong that now permeates the world.

The Hope Of Israel

Contributed by David Richardson on May 24, 2005

When there is no sun or stars in your life, like those sailors in that verse in Acts 27, we finally give up all hope…When there is neither Jesus or His hopes (love,joy,etc.), we finally give up all hope…and lapse into depression,get moody,or get sick.

Jesus Confronts A Religious Man

Contributed by Nathan Johnson on Dec 11, 2009

Paul had all the passion and righteous anger for God, and it was all wrong. Jesus had to correct Paul’s path and destiny to make him the man he was supposed to be. Paul’s religion got in the way of what was more important; a relationship with Jesus.

Did You See Jesus Walking?

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Apr 1, 2011

Jesus is showing us the path of life, and He wants us to see Him while we are on this journey. Just like Moses had to turn when he saw the burning bush, God wants us to see and turn from the direction we are going and to follow Him.

Did You See Jesus Walking? Psalm 16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. I am entitling this today: “Did you see Jesus walking?” In Psalm 16:1 we see where David is asking God to preserve him; He ...read more

Prophets In Our Lives

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 30, 2024

What can you do when God is far away? You cry out to him and receive no comfort, no strength, it just seems like your prayers bounce off the ceiling. That actually happened to Jesus, and when it did, he quoted a psalm that teaches exactly what to do in times like that.
