    Penetrating Promises For Perplexing Problems

    Contributed by Dave Kinney on Aug 8, 2004
    based on 10 ratings
     | 2,931 views

    Just as one would drill deep into the crust of the earth for oil, we need promises that drive deep into the perplexing problems of life! This is why God gives us over 8000 promises in His Word!

    When God Doesn’t Seem To Make Sense “Penetrating Promises For Perplexing Problems” 2 Corinthians 1:20 Life has taught us “promises are made to be broken.” So we’ve learned to take promises with a grain of salt. Yet the Christian faith calls us to stake our earthly and eternal destinies upon God’s ...read more

    Blessed Are The Ermine Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 13, 2013
     | 8,281 views

    While we tend to focus on the purity of such things as food, water, and air, we would be wise to focus more intently on the purity of heart that Jesus speaks of here. A purity if not possessed will prevent us from seeing God both now and eternally.

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. The ermine is a short-tailed weasel that has the unique feature of having its fur change to a snow-white color in the win¬ter. God created this animal with this feature to protect it from others. The ermine instinctively protects his white coat ...read more

After a few minutes, Jo (the mom) went in to talk with her about what she had done. Teary-eyed, the little girl asked, “Why do we do wrong things, Mommy?” ...read more
