A Place For God To Dwell Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 19, 2024

Solomon said that the Temple he built wasn't big enough for God to live in... but we're told God dwelt there anyway. Why would God take up residence in the Temple (and the Tabernacle), and where does He dwell now?

A woman told of going to her Bible study at church and telling her 3-year-old son, Chad, they were going to God’s house. Each time they walked through the quiet sanctuary on their way to the nursery, Chad looked around in awe. It was a beautiful building. One day however, the child asked, ...read more

"The Man & His Wife...were Not Ashamed." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Apr 5, 2005

Introduction We’d all like to say, "It was their fault..." We’re always looking for someone else to blame. Blame shifting is what we do best. No one wants to accept responsibility for their own actions. It’s has always been, "Someone elses fault..." This isn’t something new either. It dates as ...read more

The Prodigal's Father

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Oct 18, 2006

It is true that fathers like to give rather than to receive. If they are not giving they are fixing. Anything that is broken around the house. Mothers will fix meals, patch up a skinned knee or elbow, but Dads like it most when they can fix a lawnmower
