    “Me? Forgive You? Hah!” Matthew 6:9-13 David P. Nolte It is a dangerous prayer to pray. If the Lord would answer it in the form we ask, we’d be in a bad way.

    Unity

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 23, 2021
     | 7,198 views

    The unity of followers is one of the most important - and yet problematic - charisteristics of the disciples. Jesus prayed for it the last night he would be with his chosen disciples. Yet since then the church has been characterized in the eyes of the world as riddled with division and strife.

    The Candle Of Humanity – How Good Is Good? Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,212 views

    Laws laid down by God for right and wrong determine the destiny of the human race, and of individuals. Only when man comes to the Light, and he is revealed for what he is in the true light of God, then he can understand who he truly is in the sight of God.

    THE CANDLE OF HUMANITY – HOW GOOD IS GOOD? There is the light of a candle in every person relating to goodness. That light connects with the knowledge of good and evil. The good a person has, is measured against the standard of man for what is good and evil. That is why the world can say, “He ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Craig on Jan 20, 2026

    Our Words Matter More Than We Realise Our words are powerful—they shape our lives and the lives of those around us. What we say, and how we say it, can build others up or tear them down, bring peace or stir trouble, heal wounds or deepen them.

    Everyone is subject to depression. When depressed, how shall the child of God respond? Surely, there are answers given in the Word, and we now look to that divine Word.

    Dr. Tim LaHaye claims to have asked over one hundred thousand people among his audiences if there were any who have never been depressed. Among one hundred thousand people so questioned not one has ever responded to his query by stating “I have never been depressed.” It would actually appear that ...read more
