The Family - God's Creation Series

Contributed by Jason Pettibone on Dec 18, 2006

The family is His idea. The nurture of the family is a high priority for God. That fact is quite clear when we consider all the fences God builds around family relationships and the emphasis His Word places on proper order of the godly family.

Family! Pleasure, pain, comforting, aggravating - and so much more, right? A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of going with my Mom and Dad to a reunion of her family in Indiana. For a weekend I interacted with a few dozen people with whom I share nothing but DNA a common ancestor. We gathered ...read more

Dishonoring The Lord

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Dec 31, 2010

The lesson for us in this Bible study is very clear and simple – God as our Father and Master is never pleased with just any religious ceremonies, formalities and rituals. God would only accept the best of the time, abilities, talents, and offerings from

Answering Atheism

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Aug 16, 2015
