Grace Under Fire

Contributed by Eric Ledermann on Jul 23, 2002

In conversations with people there is one thing I hear too often, and that is: “Boy, the Church sure is in a sad state these days.” When I read the scriptures I sense that I am truly reading about God’s grace. Grace is God’s gift to us. Grace is, then,

Are We Chickens Or An Eagles, Worthy Or Unworthy, Condemned Or Destined?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Oct 29, 2016

Who we are depends on who we listen to tells who we are. We are used to hearing criticism from our friends, our bosses, the state, and our enemies. Who should we listen to? Well none of them, only person who the Lord says we are.

Psalm 30: Title: Joy Cometh In The Morning Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 13, 2019

The scope of the Psalm corresponds well with a state of rest, and meditation on his past trials. The psalm begins with a celebration of God's delivering favor, in which he invites others to join him; he relates his prayer during a time of distress, and God's gracious and prompt answer.

"it's Not Fair!" (Part Two) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 28, 2019

Last week I stated the series on the places in the bible where it seems as if God wasn't being fair. We looked at Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden for one act of disobedience. Then we looked at the story of Job. Let's look at two more examples.

The Almighty God In Battle

Contributed by Ahmed Adebisi Otunba on Jul 5, 2019

God knows who He is if man cannot correctly identity Him. He stated His identity in Genesis 17:1 as the Almighty and mighty Man in battle in Psalm 24:8. As matter of fact, different people have given names to God based on the mighty works He performed in their lives.

Questions: Do you know your Creator? (Dan 11:32). Do you know yourself? (2 Tim 2:3-4). Do you know God's desire for your life? (Eph 6:10). God knows who He is if man cannot correctly identity Him.

28. Romans Chapter 6 Verses 19-23 - Messages In Romans – Dead To Sin; Slaves Of Righteousness. Sanctification, Eternal Life And Death – Message 28 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025

Chapter 6 ends the contrasts we had been looking at. We must not use our bodies for impurity but slaves for the Lord in righteousness. Paul ends with being freed from sin with sanctification leading to eternal life. BUT for the unsaved he states the wages of sin is death. A rich chapter indeed.

Godly Values In America

Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 5, 2024

I believe The United States of America has been a blessed nation because it has a Godly base. The reason we are the wealthiest, most free, most secure, most envied nation on earth is that we were established as a nation under God, and God has kept His promise to bless us.

Face To Face With Lions

Contributed by Daniel Ray Ortega on Aug 22, 2023

Daniel today is known as a prophet of God. He is now an elderly man serving in Babylon for 70 years he had witnessed his friends face adversity and come out FIREPROOF. The bible states that Daniel had a spirit of excellence in Daniel 5:12 which kept him on the cabinet of leadership there in Babylon.
