The Missing Ingredient Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 25, 2021

The Biblical ideal of godliness is, in both the Old and New Testament, a life of joy.

Edna Ferber makes a character in one of her novels say, "I like people with a splash of splendor in their makeup." Many people would be surprised to know that this is what should characterize every believer in Jesus. The world often gets a perverted concept of Christ just because ...read more

The Paradox Of Judging

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Dec 3, 2021

We all know that judging is bad, but we also know that judging is good. How can the same thing be both good and bad? That is what paradox is all about and we are going to see how it can be true of judging.

Paul is judging the Jews for being terrible for judging the Gentiles to be terrible sinners. But if judging is always bad, then I can judge Paul to be terrible for judging the Jews to be terrible for judging the Gentiles to be terrible, and you can in turn judge me for being terrible in judging ...read more

Jochebed And Other Women

Contributed by Dennis King on Dec 18, 2021

Which woman of the Old Testament Bible had three famous children? One of whom was Yekutiel? As a hint, she was the first woman in the Bible whose name is compounded with the name of Jehovah God. We didn't actually learn her godly name right away. She was just called a Levite woman.

The lady we will study first is Jochebed, a mother who was incredibly confident, creative, and courageous! Her son was, in my opinion, the major character in the Old Testament. Therefore, Jochebed may deserve more recognition than she has been previously given. Our information of her is quite ...read more

Can The Devil Cause A Born-Again Christian To Become Sick?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 31, 2021

Many interesting explanations try to explain the reason for sickness

The most dominant one is that the devil causes it. In the New Testament, we read that the Apostle Paul had a 'thorn' that many believe was a sickness given to him by the devil (2 Cor 12:7).
