    In Joshua 24 Joshua gives an amazing speech about choices, and it boils down to one massive choice: choosing God or choosing idolatry.

    Life is made up of choices. In just one day, you make hundreds of choices—big ones and small ones. If we never had to make choices, we would be robots, programmed to do a specific task. But that’s not how God designed us. God designed us with the ability to choose. In Joshua 24, the nation of ...read more

    In the last several years we have heard a lot about “fake news.” “Fake news” is what happens when something is reported to be true that isn’t true.

    Fake news is nothing new. That is, we’re not the first generation to grapple with truth vs. lies. Human nature is such that many people find it easier to tell a lie than to tell the truth. If lying was a sport, it would be the most popular sport on earth today. Politicians have the reputation ...read more

    The Destructive Nature Of Man’s Human Spirit

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Apr 14, 2025
     | 472 views

    The Old and New Covenants meet with God in different ways. But few have asked whether these differences create spiritual powers that work against the Christian life. This maybe why Paul struggled with a Church in transition.

    The Destructive Nature of Man’s Human Spirit Life sets before us an interesting journey of discovery. Within that journey we record what our eyes perceive as beauty, what our hearts cherish as food for the soul and what our spirit learns of eternity. Hence every endeavor in life relies upon body, ...read more
