Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021

The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

A Secret No Longer Sermon I: Before You Were Born, The Lord Knew You Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Apr 6, 2020

Clearly and unmistakably the Bible teaches that human life was created for a purpose and that the Lord God knows about every birth-to-be.

BEFORE YOU (WE) WERE BORN, THE LORD GOD KNEW YOU (US)? HOW CAN THAT BE? One of the most intriguing encounters with Jesus recorded in the Bible is the account of a visit with Jesus one night by a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin, Nicodemus, who honestly acknowledged that Jesus was a ...read more

Your Heart Condition Before God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 9, 2022

It is your heart that determines your usability. Maybe you are not the obvious choice for some position. The lesser known man who has the heart of God prevailed in the case of David. God’s principle remains the same.

Better Than You?

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Sep 19, 2009

To see Him smile; to hear Him teach; to watch Jesus as He lived life with the zest and with the love that our Creator intended from the beginning – what a rush! But I wonder if ...read more
