    Just as ancient offerings were said to ascend to the heavens, so also a life lived in praise connects us with God in powerful ways.

    2,186,230 Can anyone guess what that number represents? 2,186,230 any Ideas? 2,186,230 this is the number of people who were in Jail, or Prison in the United States alone in June 2005 (the most recent statistics I could find).

     | 233 views

    Idolatry is not a relic of the ancient world. It is the oldest sin in human history — and the most enduring. The names have changed, but the spirits behind them remain.

    Introduction: The Return of Old Spirits Brothers and sisters, Idolatry is not a relic of the ancient world. It is the oldest sin in human history — and the most enduring. From Eden to Egypt, from Babylon to the boardroom, the human heart has always had a tendency to build altars to other ...read more

    Going Up To The Temple

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 18, 2025

    Mary as Ark of the Covenant is a very ancient theme that appears in the Book of Revelation. She is the Theotokos, the God-bearer for us sin-bearing humans.

    Friday of the 33rd Week Integral: Presentation of Mary Today we have a rare case of serendipity (or perhaps Divine Providence) that gives us two Scripture readings “starring” the Temple at Jerusalem along with a kind of festival celebrating the presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in that ...read more

    Jesus In The Lion's Den Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,170 views

    Let’s fast forward in time around 550 years from Daniel’s day. As we leave our time machine, we have left the ancient land of modern-day Iraq because we now find ourselves in Jerusalem. We arrive at the Mount of Olives at night, just outside the skirts of ancient Jerusalem.

    Daniel’s story is in your Bible so you’ll always know hope. Hope in the Christian sense is the confident and certain expectation of future blessings and the confidence that the best is yet to come. We need a hope that a virus cannot touch. We need a hope that a divorce cannot destroy. We need a ...read more

    Chapters 1-6 of Joshua the children of Israel go from strength to strength. Then there was an unseen problem that would ruin everything. It was the hidden sin of Achan recorded in Joshua chapter 7.

    It was an unusual situation. One evening the president of our fraternity called a special unplanned meeting. When everyone came to the room the doors were shut. He explained the problem. Wallets were disappearing from the rooms. They were disappearing at such a rate and at such unusual times that ...read more

    "Babylon" adapts itself to every age, even creates the age, and moves easily from its ancient beginnings to world empires. We travel all the way to the Book of Daniel, Biblically, in this segment.

    3: ENTER THE PATRIARCHS We are not totally aware of what Satan knew and didn't know, and how he planned his counter-attack on the design of God. But if God revealed to Adam that the "seed of a woman" will bruise the "head of the serpent" (Genesis 3:14-15), is there any doubt that Satan has a ...read more

     | 38,066 views

    Babylon is more than a ancient land mentioned in the Bible. Babylon is anywhere we as believers don't belong. It is being held captive by the devil.

    INTRODUCTION: The sentiment of the Israelites during this difficult time in their history is summed up there in the fourth verse. "How shall we sing the Lord's song in this strange land?" In other words, we really don't belong here in Babylon. We are aliens here. We are refugees here. We are ...read more
