The Pleasure Of Passion Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Christians have used the word so often for evil that it is hard to accept the reality that you can also be passionate for good. It is Biblical and Christlike to lust for the pleasure of those things that are pleasing to God.

Jesus said in Luke 22:15, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer." Jesus used the same word used all through the New Testament for lust to describe His passionate desire to eat the final Passover with His disciples. He had a passion for the Passover. Paul ...read more

Studies In Genesis: The Decendants Of Seth Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. This study was done such a long time ago I am not sure what other sources was used but I thought it was interesting for the studies ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 28, 2023

We continue to look at Satan’s schemes, and this time, at the resuscitation of Sodom and what homosexuality does; and at affirmative equality and not ability; and children being ruined in education; and how a nation can be undermined. Also demonic possession, influence, and oppression.

WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 3 This is a series where we examine some means by which Satan has made inroads into human activity. It might be surprising to hear that we are not ignorant of Satan’s devices, but the bible says that, and this is an attempt to explore that ...read more

Spiritual Help For Your Marriage Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 27, 2021

Some men are ashamed that their wife is ahead of them spiritually. So they just hang back and think of the spiritual life as “woman’s work” and so protect their egos. Men are too proud to admit that spiritually they must play catch-up to their wives.

In the Bible, there are three human institutions that stand apart from all others — the family, the church, and the government. There’s nothing in the Bible about how a hospital or a school should be run, even though they are crucial to a flourishing society. There’s nothing there about business ...read more

Understanding The Story

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Oct 13, 2020

2020 has been a year of an unusual number of hurricanes, many have hit the USA. When a storm hits, lives are changed. We like to believe we will 'get over it' or 'get on with it', but storms have an impact, whether it is a weather type of storm OR a personal storm.

Candidly, every time there is an event like this, many want to characterize it in unbiblical ways. After Katrina, I recall the extreme views made public. On the one hand, some were getting on TV speaking of how God could have nothing to do with events like this, at the same time, others came ...read more

The Certainty Of Death For Modern Society

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 14, 2012

Failure to respect the elderly within a given society ensures God’s censure. Modern attitudes spell the death of contemporary western society, unless we return to the attitude and practise outlined in God’s Word.
