Deal Or No Deal

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Mar 25, 2012

Unlike the game show, Deal or No Deal, we can see in advance which of the two covenants is the better deal. In fact, God explicitly states that his New Covenant is the best deal. Do not take the deal from the Satanic Banker! Updated March 2018.

If I Perish, I Perish Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Aug 23, 2020

In the book of Esther, a game of chess is being played, except with cosmic implications. Satan carefully moved Haman into position and gleefully hissed, “Check!” But we will see that God has his own plan and has a queen and a pawn moving in for the kill, or in chess language, “Checkmate!”

The Two Minute Warning

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 5, 2017

Football's "Two Minute Warning" warns the game is almost over and the window to make a change is closing. It's an apt example of how God's warnings about our lives are serious and the time will come when reversal will be too late. (Msg good any time).

Be A Copycat Series

Contributed by Michael Mays on Sep 14, 2021

What are the most tried and true teach methods? Imitation! Paul is a big advocate, if this passage is any indication. Let's use some children's games to help us learn how to live like Jesus--and cope with the consequences.

I. Introduction A. One of the more precious—and frustrating—parts of homeschooling (or educating young children in general) is teaching them how to write.

Bid Him Come And Die Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 6, 2021

Following Jesus is an all or nothing proposal, and far too many so-called "believers" are riding the fence, playing a game, or trying to look devout when their character shows otherwise. Either follow and obey Him, or be honest in your unbelief and leave.

In today's social set-up, especially here in America, the prevailing philosophy seems to be, "I want it, and I want it NOW!" Young people are crying out for this at a pace that is bordering on the ridiculous, petty, and unrealistic. I do not see even the slightest awareness in most ...read more

I Have It All! Nothing Can Touch Me!

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Oct 2, 2025
