The Origin Of Evil In Man (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 2, 2021

the biblical revelation of the original goodness of creation upholds the goodness - the holiness - of God. And it makes the source of evil outside of God. Because the source of evil is outside of God, God can and will conquer evil and ultimately save sinners.

Word Breakers & Will Benders Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Oct 1, 2015

How we talk and interface our will with the will of others says something about our Father in heaven. Our words, promises, and intents reflect on people’s view of God. God desires an accurate reflection of Himself in and through us.

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 15, 2023

Jacob left his home in Beersheba, heading to his uncle Laban's land, 450 miles away, in order to find a wife. Allowing five months for the journey, and a month before starting his seven-year contract, he was the original 90-month fiance'!

A Biography Of Satan Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 13, 2025

When Ego Rules

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 5, 2025

When ego rules, possibility collapses; when Christ reigns, humanity rises — sharing His life, not His throne, through divine power and grace.

The Tower in the Heart “If God exists, then everything is possible.” That single conviction built the ark, parted the sea, and rolled the stone away. The moment a man or woman believes there is a living, limitless God, the boundaries of human reason start to melt like frost in sunlight. But ...read more

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 1, 2025
