    Not even the worst afflictions you might face can cancel out God¡¦s purpose or God¡¦s favor in your life.

    You might have heard that, on the next to last day of our vacation, Nancy and I were rear-ended as we were pulling off the freeway in San Jose, California. Thankfully we weren¡¦t hurt, but the car was undriveable, and we were 850 miles from home without transportation. For a while we felt not ...read more

    God does what is good, because God is good. Our Good God acts in accordance with His Word. Therefore God's Word is good and as we learn here, His word is good for us

     | 30,625 views

    One of the many paradoxes of the Christian life is that the grace of God is most keenly experienced not in the best but in what seems to be the worst of times. However much the Christian longs for exaltation it is when he is humble he receives grace.

    based on 14 ratings
     | 22,342 views

    Rather than show sensitivity to Job’s affliction, his friends critique him...and were dead wrong. Let’s be careful when we appraise people. And let’s be cordial when we disagree.

    I recall a fight I had in seminary. I was arguing with another student over some theological matter, when he got mad and slugged me. Before I knew what was happening, I left the room, but not under my own power. A student walking by saw what was going on, grabbed me, and whisked me out before ...read more

    Waking up people to what God can do.

    It is normal to question God when life tumbles in and wonder “Why” this is happening to us, but such experiences can bring us closer to God if we make the right choices.

Job 1:1-22 Proposition: It is normal to question God when life tumbles in and wonder “Why” this is happening to us, but such experiences can bring us closer to God if we make the right choices.

    One of the root causes of an ineffective fellowship is the spirit of division

    No Division in the Fellowship I Corinthians 1: 10 Perhaps the primary reason the church is ineffective is because we take our cues from some place other that the word of God Most often we look like something other than the church of God We live in a cutthroat environment and it has filtered into ...read more

     | 18,010 views

    Life sometimes seems to be giving us a good beating. But God’s purpose in permitting trials and troubles in our lives is not to beat and burden us, but rather to build and bless our Christian life.

    Buffeted But Blessed Text: 2 Cor.12: 9, 10 Intro: Most of us would think the ideas of buffeting and blessing are totally foreign to one another. It’s difficult to wrap our limited insight around the biblical idea that the former could actually produce the latter. As a matter of fact, the ...read more

    God is calling us to come out of the fox holes and go on the offensive. But before you can attack the enemy you must be able to recognize th enemy. And when you do remember... a snake is a snake.

    Genesis 3:1-7 (NKJV) 1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, ’You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; ...read more
