    Israel quickly went from victory/ gratitude to grumbling. Moses prayed and God showed him a piece of wood (symbolic to Christ's Cross) which when thrown into the bitter waters made them sweet.

    The Right Amount Of Salt, Please!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 13, 2025
     | 701 views

    Chefs have to learn the exact amounts – say – of salt to add to the food. Too much salt and the food becomes bitter. Too little salt and the food is bland. So it is with our use of "salt" in witnessing!

    THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SALT, PLEASE Col. 4:5-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about this man, he was taking a walk in the woods with his friend when suddenly they encounter a huge grizzly bear about 20 yards in front of them. They both froze in their tracks. As the bear intently stared them down, ...read more

    Many of us are sitting around with 20 year old prophecies. It’s so easy to become disappointed, disillusioned or bitter when it seems like God hasn’t come through like we expected.

    Spiritual Pursuit - Proverbs 2:3; Matt 7:7 & Luke 11:9 Intro.: In our “crying out and lifting up our voices”. We find that God has a sort of soft spot. He is tender concerning our spiritual poverty, persistence and hunger. Jesus related a story in Luke 11:5-8 that illustrates persistence. We are ...read more

    The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

     | 11,711 views

    We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

    THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more

    A Contrast In Heart Attitudes Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 25, 2018
     | 4,578 views

    Dealing with people means adjusting to a variety of responses. Some are just nasty, bitter, agitators; others more open-minded/gracious. Some are open to the Gospel, others become adversaries, while others do not embrace the Gospel but are not hostile.

    A Contrast in Heart Attitudes (Acts 17:1-15) 1. “On a highway in Indiana, about 20 cars were trailing behind a slow driver in the passing lane who wouldn’t change lanes. When Indiana State Trooper Sgt. Stephen Wheeles noticed the line of traffic, he decided to do something about it. “Wheeles, … in ...read more

    Praising God At The Dung Gate

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2018
     | 9,786 views

    Sometimes God allows us to experience bitter trials. The crowning grace is when we can praise God -- in spite of or even for -- the trial. That's what Nehemiah did when he went to praise God at the Dung Gate!

    PRAISING GOD AT THE DUNG GATE Neh. 12:27-43 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A kindly old preacher married a couple and as he did, told the groom, “Son, God bless you. You’re at the end of all your troubles.” 2. A year later, the groom returned and said, “What a year I’ve gone through! It was ...read more

    The Hard Work Of Trust

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 3,321 views

    God teaches us to trust in him and in his Son our Saviour. God tells us that anxious care and bitter sighing won’t help. Discontentment will get us nowhere, but only humble trust and steadfast faith.

    Have you ever felt like complaining against the LORD? Maybe you’ve prayed and prayed, but the answer that you wanted hasn’t come. Or you don’t like what God has brought into your life: lots of disappointment, lots of frustration. Or maybe you look at all the wickedness in the world, and you fear ...read more

     | 1,175 views

    We need to consider the root of the problems we face. From where does strife and trouble come? Anger and bitterness become self feeding skeletons that are so weak they waste opportunities. We must identify strive causers.

    Around the world are demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and Hamas, and bitterness against Israel, even hate. This article looks at that, plus the inroads of socialism and the origin of Allah, and the Islamic mind. Also a small look at how we got into this situation.

    YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW – ISRAEL AND HAMAS – AND THE WIDER NATIONS [1].

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,426 views

    Logically Ruth should not be in the genealogy of Jesus. As a Moabite she is from a despised nation and the only person seeking to be an example to her is Naomi - a woman who is bitter and angry at God. Yet God moves in mysterious ways to include Ruth.
