Christmas Time Is Fear Part 1

Contributed by Gerald Albers on Oct 31, 2011

I wonder how many of us are fearful this season. How many of us are afraid of what the future holds, or afraid of how we can go on? I’d like to open up today with a quote by E. Stanley Jones, a famous missionary. He said, “I am inwardly fashioned for fait

Therefore, the state of blessedness would be a state of joy, which is more than just happy. Blessedness refers to the distinctive spiritual joy of those who are saved. We ...read more

Third City Of Refuge - Hebron Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 1, 2022

The reason for such details about these cities of refuge was these were a fore-shadow of the coming of the Lord Jesus who will be the refuge for all of mankind. Nothing in the bible was recorded without a purpose, but every word that is written has a reason.

For today’s meditation we will study Joshua 20:1-2, “Then the LORD told Joshua to say to the people of Israel, "Choose the cities of refuge that I had Moses tell you about.” (GNB) Moses the servant of God brought the people of Israel from their bondage in Egypt into the Promised Land that God ...read more

Practicing The Presence Of God: Following The Beat Of The Kingdom

If you are a real born again Christian, you have Jesus Christ living within you. You are in fact part of His body, the body of Christ. You carry His presence with you. The presence of God, with you.

I recall a few weeks back I was trying to get into the mindset of Christmas, so I was watching old Christmas cartoons from the mid 1900s. A fair amount of it was oddly poisonous to my spirit. It was not edifying or encouraging to my inner man. It was a lot of self focused desire for stuff, a lot ...read more

Moses had it all - power, prestige and position. He was the son of Pharaoh's daughter and was destined to be a man of prominence. But then he said no to all that. Why did he do that, and what can that mean to us?

CHILDREN’S STORY – Years ago, there was a very bad King in Egypt who hated the Israelites. In fact, he hated them so much that he commanded that all their baby boys should be thrown into the river and drowned. He was a bad king.
