    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Nov 18, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,849 views

    Satan realizes that the Word of God is a mighty weapon in the “war against demonic terror.” Therefore, he taints the Word by adding to it, subtracting from it, or substituting his own defective formula, in order to deceive believers.

    Satan is very sly. Sometimes he tries to get you to question what God has said and to twist God’s words to mean something that is not true. - Tammy Melton(1) The Word of God is a powerful weapon against the devil. Proverbs states, “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their ...read more

    When Satan comes against God’s people, he doesn’t use a rule book. The Bible describes him as the father of lies. He is a liar. So why would we expect a liar to fight fair? In our passage today, we can see four dirty tricks of the enemy.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ Believe it or not, I used to be pretty rough as a kid. We moved around a lot. And one of the things that can happen when you move a lot is you can get in a lot of fights. People want to see what the new kid is all about. They want to see how he fits in. So ...read more

    The Peril Of False Prophets (Part 2)

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 20, 2022
     | 1,616 views

    Satan seeks to do all he can to hinder and defeat the church. One of the tools he likes to use is deception. If he can distort the truth, causing people to believe a lie, then he has succeeded in his efforts.

    The Peril of False Prophets (Part 2) Matthew 7: 15-20 In our last study we began to consider Jesus’ teaching concerning false prophets, those who come in among the church in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. I remain convinced that this passage needs to be preached and ...read more

    I am amazed at the way educated people in America flock to see and hear gurus and other Eastern spiritual leaders whose teaching cannot change the human heart.

    This is a study of Nathanael based on 12 Ordinary Men. It has a lot of added notes and scripture.

    Note: This is a study from the book 12 Ordinary Men by John McArthur an excellent book. There is also a fill in the blank outline from Adult Bible Fellowships of First Baptist Church Orion that I have posted in the series. This is not original but worth posting for study.

    Rooted In Jesus

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,184 views

    The fact that believers are in a state of being complete in Christ indicates that there is nothing of a higher spiritual blessing to be found anywhere else including, but not limited to, this false Gnostic philosophy found in Colosse.

    Opening illustration: There was once a farmer who went to town to purchase seeds for his farm. As he was returning home one of the squash seeds he had purchased fell from his pocket onto the ground. It happened that within a few feet was another seed of a different type.

    Drawn By Beauty

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,621 views

    Where does beauty come from and why are we attracted to it? Why do we as human beings desire to make beautiful creations? The existence of objective beauty points to a God of beauty who loves His creation and desires to give us joy and pleasure.

    Today I will be speaking about how objective beauty points us to the Creator God. We’ll be looking at Psalm 27:4 and Psalm 96:6. One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD and to ...read more
