    God is steady in his dealings with us. He does not deceive us or try to draw us into sin. We make the choice to stand with God or give into temptations.

    1. Politician A politician was running for re-election and was talking at a campaign stop to his constituents. "My opponent has called me a liar. I want you to know that I have never lied to you.

    Have you ever had an experience where you knew that God was telling you to do something? But part of you resists the leading of God. And you ask yourself, “Did God really say that? Or am I just making that up in my own mind?”

    I remember early on as a Christian I had a dream. I had listening to different ministries and churches and I was just learning the faith. I remember having a dream one night that I was at this church, big, with many people. But it all felt dead, empty, and I left the building. Outside the building ...read more

    Justification Through The Gospel By The Triune God Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 4, 2018
     | 3,313 views

    1) A believer’s experience of the Lord Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:1), 2) of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 3:2-4), & 3) of God the Father (Gal. 3:5) are incontrovertible evidence of having been graciously made acceptable to God through personal faith in the perfect, complete work of Christ.

    You see, the help that we receive from the hand of God comes as a result of our humble hearts being yielded to Him in all things. God helps those who are humble before Him in the manner and time in which He sees fit.

    An examination of the importance of and manner in which we are to wait on God in our lives.

    The saying goes: “Timing is everything.” That is so true. You see this to be obvious in the trauma operating room. The surgeon knows that to operate too quickly - before the patient’s vital signs are stabilized - will probably kill them on the table. But, he knows that to wait too long will ...read more

    Gaslighting God

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Jan 9, 2024
     | 1,832 views

    This chapter can be a case of Gaslighting and false repentance by the people in an attempt to change the reality of their situation by minimizing their responsibility and blaming God. Some say it is a “Straw man” set up by the Prophet to be demolished by God’s answer in the next chapter.

    Well, it feels good to be back in this particular pulpit after 25 years! I want to thank Pastor Caleb for the opportunity. Please turn to Isaiah 64. Hear now the word of the Lord. May God be blessed with the reading of His word. Please join in prayer. Before I get to looking at the chapter, I ...read more
