Look at Isaiah 60 for what you’re seeing is a poem but it’s also a vision of a magnificent city – a transformed city. The city that Isaiah envisions is a magnetic place. It has drawing power.

Apple founder, Steve Jobs was asked to address the graduations of Stanford University just shortly before his death.

Has anyone here ever grown fruit trees? Maybe an apple tree or a cherry tree. I am not a farmer or a gardener, but in 1990 we moved into a rented house we were told had five different fruit trees in the backyard.  When I heard that I thought, “wow that’ll be cool.” The day we arrived, one of ...read more

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Feb 6, 2022

Now is the time that the watchman should be warning the people of impeding danger, equipping them to be double fisted, working in one hand and ready to fight in the other like Nehemiah did.

The Legacy Of Jabez

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022

It is interesting to listen to people pray. Each person has his own unique way of expressing himself to God.

Illus: For example, a man in Columbia, South Carolina, was led to the Lord late in life. He was a slow talking southerner. When he prayed publicly, everyone enjoyed listening to him because of his slow southern drawl, and because he was sincere. When he prayed it sounded like he was having a ...read more

The Kingdom Is The Lord’s

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 13, 2021

To our cry, “How long O Lord?” comes the message of Obadiah, that God is in control and that He is working out His will and purpose through it all, or what He says through Obadiah at the very end of this letter, “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21)

The Kingdom is the Lord’s Book of Obadiah Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScnGFMIzeVY As Christians we’ll have enemies, and our spiritual maturity can be measured by the kind of enemies we have.

Free Indeed

Although Juneteenth represents freedom, it also represents how emancipation was remarkably delayed for people who were enslaved in the deepest reaches of the Confederate South– But the Bible says in John 8:36 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed”.

Issachar And Zebulun Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022

The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

The Unity Of Love

Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023

Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more
