Un CorazÓn Que Concibe Imaginaciones Malvadas

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

El corazón humano es básicamente malvado, engañoso por encima de todas las cosas, y desesperadamente malvado: ¿quién puede saberlo? Guarda tu corazón con toda diligencia, porque de él salen los asuntos de la vida.

Paghahasik Ng Pagtatalo

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

Ang paghahasik ng pagtatalo sa pagitan ng mga kapatid ay isang karumaldumal sa mga mata ng Panginoon. Ang pagsasaalang-alang sa iyong sarili na mas mahusay kaysa sa iba ay nagtataguyod ng dibisyon ngunit isinasaalang-alang ang iba na mas mahusay kaysa sa iyong sarili ay nagtataguyod ng pagkakaisa.

Paghahasik ng pagtatalo "Ang taong baluktot ay naghahatid ng pagtatalo, at ang isang bulong ay naghihiwalay sa pinakamahusay na mga kaibigan" (Kawikaan 16:28) Ang mga kapatid ay nilikha ng Diyos upang manirahan sa pagkakaisa (Gaano kahusay at kaaya-aya sa mga kapatid na magkasama na ...read more

Adonai Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 16, 2020

Freedom comes when I realize that I am not in charge of the universe … God is … and I let Him do His job and I do mine … which is to be an attentive and obedient servant of the Lord and Master of the universe.

I am a slave. Not because I am being forced to be a slave but because I want to. Under Deuteronomic law, an indentured servant could choose to be a free man when his seven years of service were up or he could choose to stay and work for his master. If he loved his master and wanted to continue ...read more

If I Perish, I Perish Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Aug 23, 2020

In the book of Esther, a game of chess is being played, except with cosmic implications. Satan carefully moved Haman into position and gleefully hissed, “Check!” But we will see that God has his own plan and has a queen and a pawn moving in for the kill, or in chess language, “Checkmate!”

Love And Truth - The Dynamic Duo! Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 1, 2025

Today we are going to focus – maybe refocus on Love – John was called the apostle of Love and He knew love and truth had to be linked together to be able to live in a world which distorted both love and truth! The two are a dynamic duo!

You may not like the answer, but it is - NO! There is no direct empirical evidence (i.e., primary or reliable secondary sources) or absolute proof that Jesus existed.

Tired Of God? (Isaiah 43:22-28; 44:1-5) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 13, 2024

God's exiled people are tired of Him. God pushes back, and asks how exactly that's possible, and says He's the one who is tired by their burdens. Nevertheless, a better future awaits them.

One of the most common questions that any human being can ask another, is this: "How are you doing?" And in my circles, there are a few really common answers to this: "I'm fine. I'm alright. I'm really busy." There's also one more: "I'm ...read more

The Deceptive Power Of A Good Excuse

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 29, 2024

Excuses can rob us of God's best. They are an enemy of great faith and accomplishment. In this examination of Luke 14:15-24, we learn from Jesus's story about those who excused themselves from a great feast. Those people missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

Intro We take as our text today Luke 14:15-24. Follow with me as we read that passage. “Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! 16 Then He [Jesus] said to him, ‘A certain man gave a great ...read more
