Dreams And Daniel

Contributed by Greg Nance on Sep 22, 2007

Daniel was given the gift of interpretation of visions and dreams. God opens the future before Daniel and offers great encouraging lessons for us today.

We Walk By Faith, Not By Sight (A Long Walk On A Short Pier)

Contributed by Barry Edmondson on Aug 10, 2008

Your intellect and your five senses are hollering “No! It won’t work. I’ll make a fool of myself.” But God’s Word and His Spirit say “Yes!” We are faced daily with challenges to walk by faith, not by sight.

•• Philip took the proverbial “long walk on a short pier”. He had been having an immensely successful revival in the city of Samaria, with many conversions and healings, signs, and wonders manifested (Acts 8:5-8).

Living Life Upside Down Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 2, 2009

One of the hardest things we as Christians have to deal with is people who don’t like us and who do bad things to us. We think we know how to react but Paul turns life upside down as he gives us the real way to overcome our enemies.

Here are a set of principles that many of us live by without knowing it. • Each negative action towards us should be met with an overwhelming opposite reaction so that those that oppose us will be crushed and humiliated. • Be happy when others are happy. Be absent when others are ...read more

I Made It

Contributed by Charles Jones on Jun 14, 2011

It must also be noted that there is a vast difference between saying "I Made It" and saying "I’ve Got It Made¨.

The familiar statement, "I Made It ", is a statement that implies achievement in the midst of overwhelming odds. It is a proclamation of accomplishment for someone who has had the deck stacked against him. Its a way of saying that, "In spite of the length of the journey; in spite of the roughness ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Hatos on May 29, 2019

Was Paul A Good Preacher?

Contributed by James Hays on Apr 21, 2020

Men tend to judge speakers according to a standard that Paul did not even desire to meet. Maybe our judgement needs a little realignment with scripture.

Was Paul A Good Preacher? Hmmm. I’ve often wondered how many churches would pass on hiring Paul for their pulpit minister. • Everyone is a TV evangelist right now. • Pick and choose what style you like, what subject matter you are interested in. • Almost like a competition on Facebook between ...read more
