Israel And The End Times

Contributed by Davon Huss on Feb 21, 2024

Modern state of Israel is not necessarily the heir of God's promises to ancient Israel (Seedthoughts from Michael Pahl at: https://michaelpahl.com/2014/08/25/christians-and-israel-part-two/)

Contributed by Larry Grant on Feb 4, 2023

There is a famine of the Word of God in our country and the people are hungry for the truth. Amos 8:11 “Look! The days are coming” declares the Lord God, “when I will send a famine throughout the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water— but rather a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.

Are You Serving A God Of Convenience?

Contributed by Mark Perryman on May 11, 2006

America is a land of convenience and comfort. With this comes a great temptation to the people of God.

INTRO: I was pondering the other day about how truly blessed we as Americans are. Everything is so convenient. Think about it, you drive up to a pump and you slip in your credit card to pay without even going in the store. You can travel the world via the TV. You can find almost any fact you want ...read more

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 9 – Judah The Harlot Blinded By Sin Polluted The Land Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 29, 2024

I think the worse a man or woman is joined to sin, then the greater the blurriness of that person’s position becomes. Sin is the cancer that overtakes the ability to repent. Judah was so idolatrous; it craved after spiritual adultery with all the gods of the nations. Interesting Hosea.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 15 – Swifter Than Eagles The Land Will Be Scorched By Babylon Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 12, 2024

Judah rejected the true message because they want to believe the lie. All actions have a consequence and the time for accountability had arrived. The human heart embraces sin so firmly it will not release it and hastens on to its own destruction. Babylon was the scorching wind.
