    Overcoming The Enemy

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 18, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,386 views

    Overcoming the enemy once does not mean he will stop his harassment of us. This is what he is, and what he does. So our posture toward him, both defensively and offensively, needs to become habitual and reflexive. We need to overcome our ignorance of the

    Kings of Judah, Pt. 5

    AVERAGE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH (2 CHRONICLES 25:1-28) One day Linus came home with his report card. As he turned on the TV, his sister Lucy scoffed at his grade: “You got a “C” in history?

    The Bald Eagle Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 6, 2008
    based on 20 ratings
     | 14,373 views

    Micah’s symbol of the bald eagle, a sign of grief, applies to America. We are abandoning justice, kindness, and the humble walk with God. Our collapse is from within rather than from without. Yet God has sent a different kind of conqueror to redeem us.

    What we see is more powerful than what we hear. The visual always trumps the audible. I learned a long time ago that what people see is more powerful than what they hear. I learned it when I sat through an education professor’s hour-long lecture about why lecturing was the least effective way to ...read more

    based on 318 ratings
     | 86,455 views

    Far to many times I have heard someone share that they know someone who says they are a Christian, but their life is impure. It literally destroys the witness of Christ when believers do not live out their faith. So, are you the real deal? Updated February 2023.

    Dr. Evan Kane ... was the chief surgeon ... of Kane Summit Hospital ... in New York City. He had practiced his specialty ... for 37 years. Over the course of time, ... he came to question the wisdom of using general anesthesia ... for every surgery. He believed people would recover quicker ... ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,582 views

    Our knowledge and our faith should always be growing, expanding, as we look daily “as through a ‘glass darkly” until that time when God will reveal the answers to all our questions.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,306 views

    In a culture which prizes self-sufficiency, we need to rely on God.

    Australian males prize self-sufficiency. It’s not masculine to ask anyone else for help. It’s not macho to admit that you can’t handle something on your own. I’m probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to having this sort of attitude. I hate anyone having to show me how to do anything, ...read more
