    Aligning ourselves with God, as opposed to going against His Word.

    THE PLUMB-LINE TEST. Amos 7:7-17. When I was at High School, we were building a garage. We were taught how to mix mortar, lay bricks, and to check everything was lined up straight with a plumb-line. The work had been begun by those of the Year above mine: but in mid-January 1968 ‘Hurricane ...read more

    A Doctor You've Never Heard Of

    The sixteenth century saw so much heretical scriptural writing that we usually write it off. But good Catholic scholarship was going on in that century, and John of Avila was one of the brightest lights.

    Thursday of the 13th Week in Course 2018 Reformation/Revolution The vocation to be a prophet is not for the faint-hearted. We see in this reading from the Book of Amos that the poor fellow was a migrant shepherd and tree-dresser, but he heard the voice of God and responded “yes.” And then God told ...read more

    Revival Or Funeral

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Feb 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 17,618 views

    Revival is not a mystery, revival is God's answer to hungry hearts, and prevailing prayer. I say this with no fear of exaggeration, or of contradiction.... this is where we are in America right now. In this hour revival for the church is not an option, it is Revival or Funeral.

    Ezekiel 42:20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. The sanctuary represents that which is holy, sanctified, set apart... dedicated to God, and his service. The ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Be A Man Of God?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 20, 2023
     | 1,512 views

    The people of Israel had become careless and complacent. God called a man from a small country town to prophesy judgment and preach repentance. This man submitted to God's call to go and prophesy unto Israel.

    The affluent people of Israel were enjoying their life of luxury and prosperity. They had become careless, complacent, mistreating poor people, and selling them into servitude. Before long, Israel would be vanquished by Assyria, and the rich would become slaves. Then in walks a God called man from ...read more

    We all like to make our own estimations of what we think God is like. This passage is a reminder to us that we must accept God for who He is, not who we wish He was.

    Bethel: Where The Prophet Was Told To Leave Town!

    Many things happened at Bethel, including this visit from one of God's true prophets who came face to face with the priest of that city. God's prophet preached--but what happened afterwards?

    Introduction: God’s prophets seldom if ever had an easy time of it. Consider Nathan, who had the duty to inform David that what he had done with Bathsheba was sin. David was king and could have said only one word and the result would have been one less prophet! David’s own great-great-grandson Asa ...read more

    “Amaziah said to Amos, ‘O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there, but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.’ “Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, ‘I was no prophet, nor a prophet’s son, but I ...read more

    Persecuted? Rejoice And Be Glad!!!

    Why would a person who hungers and thirsts for righteousness, a person who is merciful and has a pure heart, why would a person who is a peacemaker be persecuted? Because the evil one hates the Righteous One!

    Persecuted? Rejoice and Be Glad!
