    Signs of the End Matthew 24:1-14 Our culture is fascinated with the end times.

    Let’s not cluck our tongues at these sinful Israelites; we and our culture are just as guilty.

    Friday of the 26th Week in Course 2025 There are days when it is helpful to us, reading Scripture, to be reminded of what Bible the early Christians used in the congregations in Rome, Greece, Egypt and Asia Minor.

    Here is my adaptation of a sermon contributed by Tim Zingale, Sermon Central, Sept. 2007, "The Rabbit". The focus of my adaptation is the declining vitality of the universal Christian church resulting from having lost sight of Christ, the cornerstone of God's redemptive church.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) One day, a young disciple of Christ who wanted to become everything that God had in mind for him visited the home of an elderly Christian seeking his advice. He had heard that ...read more

    Why are God’s people often not living counter-culturally or don’t seem to clash with culture? Maybe the problem has something to do with being intellectually or scientifically stimulated about Jesus and the mysterious cosmic phenomenon rather than experie

    I read a fascinating article last week that invited me to watch a breath-taking phenomenon that only occurs once every 44 years. It is the aligning of Jupiter and Venus with the Moon.

    If you've ever travelled to a place where the culture was different than yours, you know how clueless you can feel. Job's "culture" was different than God's. It's no wonder he felt lost in the midst of his suffering...

    How many of you have travelled to a place where the culture was noticeably different than yours? At times, didn’t you feel totally clueless?
