Facing The Storm Of Fear

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

In 1999, Hurricane Floyd appeared on the radar screen as it approached the shores of Florida. Governor Jeb Bush described it as a “Monster of a storm”, that was coming in their direction, and they really did not know how to deal with it.

One of the things that made this such a dreadful storm was that it had strong winds, and it was over three hundred miles wide. Florida was blessed, because it came up to the coast line and made a turn. When South Carolina was told to “Watch out”, because the storm was heading in their direction, ...read more

I Can See Clearly Now

Contributed by David Dunn on Mar 3, 2026

Psalm 36 contrasts the self-deceived heart with God’s vast character, showing that true vision and life appear only when we see reality in God’s light.

David writes: “An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked: There is no fear of God ...read more
