The Songs Of Ascent – Part 3 – Psalm 121 – Can You Know The Lord Who Helps, Keeps And Guards? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 1, 2023

We have a faithful God who keeps us always. The Lord will guard all our ways, right through adversity. The testing of faith can only happen in a storm. It will never happen when all is calm and gentle. Angels have charge over us – so much help God has given to us.

THE SONGS OF ASCENT – PART 3 – PSALM 121 – CAN YOU KNOW THE LORD WHO HELPS, KEEPS AND GUARDS? [A]. FROM WHERE DO I FIND MY HELP? {{Psalm 121:1 “I will lift up my eyes to the mountains.

The Gentle Encourager Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

Jesus intended to conquer, but not like any other conqueror who had ever lived. His method was sheer folly to the world and still is today, but Jesus goes on reigning while the mighty mock him and then disappear into the dust of oblivion.

Harry Reichenback in the book World's Most Spectacular Hoaxes tells of his grand deception in promoting Francis Bushman. Bushman was a small time actor in Chicago, but Reichenback was able to get his salary raised to a commanding figure. He took Bushman to New York and carried 2000 pennies in ...read more

Can God Use Me?

Contributed by Charles Jones on Oct 18, 2008

Does our calling affect our choice of career? It may, but not necessarily. It’s interesting that Paul directed the Corinthians to remain in the calling in which they found themselves when they came to faith in Christ (1 Cor. 7:17–24).

Can God Use Me? Nowadays people often speak of a “calling” to signify a career that one has made a lifelong passion, a vocation to which one feels deeply committed. In a similar way, many people use the term “calling” in connection with vocational Christian work. For instance, members of the ...read more

Why Did The "Sinners" Love Hanging Out With Jesus?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 30, 2013

It's a fact worth pondering: the tax collectors and sinners LIKED being with Jesus. That's not usually how the lost feel around us. What did Jesus have that we don't?

Holy Security

Contributed by Stephen Schwartz on Dec 18, 2001

Does every Christian have Eternal Security?

Holy Security Some have wondered, after being entirely sanctified (living above willful sin), if this work of God in a person’s heart makes one eternally secure. They come to the conclusion that they will never sin again so they will never be lost. This is not true. There is no spiritual plain of ...read more

Get Out Of The Rut Of Complacency

Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 17, 2003

The Armor Of God 4 Of 8

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Often when the police send out an APB (All Points Bulletin) on the police band, they will alert their fellow officers to be on the lookout for a particularly dangerous criminal and they will say they are "Armed and Dangerous".

Many Post Offices have a bulletin board that shows pictures of these criminals so that we will know what they look like if we come into contact with them. But consider our greatest enemy: • You will not hear a thing about our greatest enemy on the police band • You will not find a picture of our ...read more
