    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,352 views

    God tested the Israelites in the desert to know what was in their hearts, and tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. God allows external hardships or difficult situations produce good qualities in us.

    God calls us not to flee the people and places that have seen our worst, but to return and bear witness to His transforming power—so that those who once knew our “demons” can see the change for themselves and, through our testimony, become part of a community renewed by God.

    Jesus and the disciples are rowing their boat toward the shore—toward a region called the Gerasenes. It’s Gentile territory—so it’s a place they’ve likely never been before and one they may already feel uneasy about. To the Jews, Gentile lands were unclean and unholy—filled with pagan practices ...read more

    Many people view Paul's advice in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 as unrealistic and even annoying advice. But he was not naive. He showed us three reasons why we should do it.

    Let's read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The phrase “in all circumstances” means in everything or in all situation. That means when we are sick, face difficulties, fail, or lose someone we love, we are told to give ...read more

     | 427 views

    In 1659 Christmas was banned. More recently, genuine Christmas has been supplanted by a commercial Christmas with the Christmas tree as its center. Yet strange to tell, long ago, God picked out a Christmas tree for His Son.

His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more
