    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]. SHAMEFUL GODLESS DEMONSTRATIONS This message will be a bit political but we have to thread through, and tread carefully that we don’t miss the Christian implications of these events.

    "Murderers, Tramps, And Liars”

    Contributed by David Roth on Feb 12, 2023
     | 1,194 views

    Epiphany 6. In His sermon on the mount, Jesus expounds on murder, adultery, and lying. He makes it clear that these sins are significant, that they reach, infect, and pervade us all, so that there is no righteousness in us, and our righteousness must be found in Him.

    Matthew 5:21-37 Epiphany 6 A J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Murderers, Tramps, and Liars” In our Gospel reading, we hear Jesus continue His sermon on the Mount. He has ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 615 views

    When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

    We read in Genesis 21:17, “God heard the boy crying, and from heaven the angel of God spoke to Hagar, "What are you troubled about, Hagar? Don't be afraid. God has heard the boy crying.”(GNB) Hagar and her son wandered through the wilderness, and when the little water she carried got ...read more

    Forgiveness!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 13, 2014
     | 6,407 views

    Let me stress a point here, when we fail to forgive, we are actually torturing ourselves; because bitterness causes depression, inability to sleep, tension and much more.

    THE FIRST WORD OF JESUS ON THE CROSS! Luke 23:34-Jesus said: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." (Memorize) Day 34- Mathew 5:44 “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”(Memorize) These are the most awesome words uttered ...read more

     | 1,122 views

    One of the major rules of engagement in this battle is ‘walking in love.” Once you drift into revenge, bitterness, unforgiveness, grudge, and malice, you have given Satan the advantage over you.

    Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

    The mountaintop is sweet because we commune with Jesus! But when you return to the valley, you will be ambushed by people who have all kinds of needs. That's why we should to always be a church built in the valley, not on the mountain.

    INTRODUCTION Are you living in the faith dimension? We basically live in a three dimensional world. There are three dimensions to time: past, present and future.

    At no time in my lifetime have I witnessed such a widespread and long-term anxiety as we are in now. Our fear and anxiety have multiple layers to them like a tall cake – only this isn’t sweet to the taste.

    Ruth displayed her sacrificial love and service to her mother in law, Naomi by her willingness to glean in the field of Boaz even in the heat of the sun. Such godly character produced a blessing that transformed Naomi's bitterness into hope and joy.

    We are continuing our study in the book of Ruth. Last week, we studied chapter one concerning a man from Judah named Elimelech relocating his entire family to Moab, the land of pagan idol worshipers. Elimelech lived during the time of the Judges, was married to Naomi and they had two sons, named ...read more
