It's Not What You Know

Bumble: Good morning! It’s great to study the Word of God again with you today. Paul (aka Cau) is up here with me. For those who don’t know him, Paul is one of our favorite former gangsta-boys.

Keeping The Commandments

Contributed by Larry Jacobs on May 15, 2006

Over, Above And Beyond Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Jun 7, 2009

Apply this key to your life. Don’t ask yourself what more could I do? Ask yourself this: In what way am I resisting the Holy Spirit in my life?

Peter literally pulls the man up from the ground. This man who has never walked a day in his life is up on his feet. Peter reaches out and grabs the man’s hand - the Greek says, “seizes” the man’s hand; Peter suddenly grabs this man’s hand and yanks him up into the air. Imagine, this limp figure ...read more

Thirsty For More!

Contributed by Curt Cizek on Oct 18, 2008

Gaming Can Be Deadly

Contributed by Ron Hicks on May 1, 2007

Count the lives that were lost while Samson played his games. The last game that he played with Delilah killed him. Don’t play around with the power and gifts that God gives you.

GAMING CAN BE DEADLY Children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord. The Lord delivered them into the hands of the Philistines. The Lord appeared to Manoah and his wife and announced that they would have a son. Judges 13:24 24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the ...read more

Hardly New

The Deserving Poor?!

Contributed by David Smith on Feb 26, 2008

Un-Forgivenss Creates A Debt

Contributed by Sherry Proskine on Nov 21, 2007

Un-forgiveness says, "They owe me". When we don’t forgive, it creates a debt from what someone has done to us. We can even create a debt to ourselves.

Un-forgiveness Creates a Debt Illus. Hold up a glass of water. How heavy do you think this glass is? The total weight isn’t so important, it’s how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute--not a problem. An hour--my arm will ache. Hold it for a day--you better call an ambulance. ...read more
