Land Of Liberty

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

The Christians who came to America to enjoy liberty did not come here to escape the bondage of atheists or humanists, but of other Christians. In our Western history it has been Christians who have been the greatest opponents of religious liberty.

Liberty is America's second name. We have such national symbols as the Statue Of Liberty, the Liberty Bell, and the songs of liberty like My Country Tis Of Thee-sweet land of liberty, of thee of I sing. The Preamble to our Constitution says, "We the people...in order to establish ...read more

A Gift Worth Waiting For – Part 1

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 26, 2020

Before Jesus Christ came on the scene, both Jew and Gentiles were in bondage to their ceremonies and rituals. “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son…” He was a Gift worth waiting for!

When We Forget God

Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 3, 2018

God warns against forgetting Who He is and what He has done. The example provided is Israel during the wilderness wanderings. The message explores this concept, especially in relationship to the prayer life of Christians.

But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.” “We want what we want; and we want it when we want it.” This ...read more

Part 1: The Seriousness Of Disobeying God Series

Contributed by Marlou Javier on Jul 14, 2021

The book shows a repeated four step cycle that takes place seven times in the book. That is, 1. REBELLION. Falling into sin, idolatry, and apostasy. 2. RETRIBUTION. God’s punishment. 3. REPENTANCE. Israel cries for help. 4. RESCUE. God delivers via a judge.

The book of Judges starts with “After the death of Joshua…” - There were 15 judges in all. Eli and Samuel were the last. THE WORD “JUDGE.” - “judge," means "bringer of justice." - These "judges" were like a cross-mixture between a mayor, a marshal, a prophet, and a ...read more
