     | 5,255 views

    Christmas interrupts the unraveling of your life. Your fears, like Joseph’s, are unfounded, and for the same reason: The child in Mary’s womb!

    You’ve got to see this first Christmas from Joseph’s point of view. I mean, his heart was full of anticipation over his recent engagement to Mary. His head was no doubt filled with images of what his life was going to be like, and he saw nothing but blue skies and smooth seas ahead. ...read more

    jesus told three parables, each revealing the Fathers heart. The one message from each stroy is that God rejoices when a child returns home.

    Dealing With Depression

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 13, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,234 views

    Everyone is subject to depression. When depressed, how shall the child of God respond? Surely, there are answers given in the Word, and we now look to that divine Word.

    Dr. Tim LaHaye claims to have asked over one hundred thousand people among his audiences if there were any who have never been depressed. Among one hundred thousand people so questioned not one has ever responded to his query by stating “I have never been depressed.” It would actually appear that ...read more

     | 9,197 views

    There are consequences when a child of God attempts to practise the pagan arts. Saul paid an awful price for his disobedience, even dragging many others into judgement.

    “In those days the Philistines gathered their troops for war in order to fight Israel. Achish said to David, ‘You should fully understand that you and your men must go with me into the battle.’ David replied to Achish, ‘That being the case, you will come to know what your ...read more

     | 428 views

    One might believe that after you become a “new born child of God,” that all the hardship of life would come to an end. That is the furthest of any truth.

    “The Blessing Of Correction” Psalm 94:12-23 One might believe that after you become a “new born child of God,” that all the hardship of life would come to an end.

    Sixth Commandment (6 Of 12)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
     | 1,386 views

    This is the shortest of all of the commandments and so simple that even a small child could understand it. However, in our society today this simple commandment is misunderstood by some.

    For example, some carry this so far as to apply "Thou shalt not kill” to the killing of insects. Illus: Let me ask you something, if I see a fly on the table and I walk into the other room, get the fly swat, and carefully walk back to where the fly is, raise the fly swat in such a way as ...read more

    No doubt the young Samuel, like the Child Jesus, ‘became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him’ (cf. Luke 2:40).

    GROWING BETTER IN BAD TIMES. 1 Samuel 2:18-20; 1 Samuel 2:26. The children of Israel forsook the LORD, and the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and He visited them with temporal judgments (Judges 2:13-15). ‘Nevertheless,’ (O, precious word!) the LORD raised up judges, or ‘saviours’ ...read more

    Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 8, 2022
     | 2,661 views

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

    Regarding Anna, Luke provides three terse verses that manage to vividly depict her as a woman deserving the honor bestowed on the elderly in the ancient Mediterranean world (v. 36-38). She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

    Luke starts with the story of a child... but not Jesus. Luke starts with the birth of John the Baptist? Why? Why would John need to mentioned before Christ was?

    There Is Blessing In Every Trial

    Contributed by John Ong on Sep 22, 2017
     | 10,261 views

    The Bible tells us that patience is cheerful endurance. It is all about waiting on what God will do to your life and enjoying the wait like a child with anticipation.

    In any competition, the most important factor is not how many begin with the contest, but who finishes and completes the course. Paul declared in Hebrews 12:1-3. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so ...read more
