The Ass With 20/20 Vision

Contributed by Howard Flynn on May 17, 2001

To lose your vision is a tragedy, but to restore it is a blessing.

Come with me in your imagination to the battlefield of Saratoga in New York where in 1777 two battles of the Revolutionary War took place.

Jacob's Ladder Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 13, 2022

Jacob the selfish man, whose life without God led him to desperation, reached a point where he needed the Lord. Often that is when God breaks through to a person. God spoke to Jacob through a dream. We call that dream, Jacob’s ladder.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to be different. This difference can be seen very distinctly when we have a proper attitude in our giving to God. A generous spirit in giving is stark contrast in a selfish me first world. Jacob has an experience with God and he is changed. His name ...read more

"Putting Out A Fleece" (Gideon) Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 21, 2002

Gideon’s asking for a sign has nothing to do with determining God’s will—God already clearly told Gideon what to do. Gideon’s fleece shows his doubt and fear and lack of trust. Gideon didn’t know his own strength.

“Putting out a Fleece” (Gideon) Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts “Actions have consequences.” This could be the motto of our times, and it certainly would apply to the period of the Judges. In both cases we see people living lawlessly, doing whatever ...read more

Nobodies

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Dec 14, 2006

In the vast universe, we may feel like nothing. Good -- we are insignificant! The wonder is that God still loves us!
