Sweet Temptation Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022

Ah ... free will. The ability to choose/decide for ourselves what is right and good and what isn't. However, as Solomon points out, we also got 'temptation' along with it and he beautifully illustrates the tension of temptation in Proverbs 9 between Lady Wisdom and Lady Folly.

Ah … it’s a familiar story. Eve is strolling through the beautiful Garden of Eden when she is surprised by a talking snake. “Hey, how ya doing?” “Fine.” “What ya doin?” “Oh, Adam and I are just walking around … taking in the beauty of God’s creation.” “Oh, yeah? Lovely. Say, what about ...read more

The Seed Of Christmas

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 11, 2022

If you leave the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke, you do not recognize how long God was planning and preparing and moving all of the pieces of the world in order for us to receive the greatest gift that has ever been given to man, which is Jesus Christ, His Son.

We often sell ourselves short when we say to each other simple clichés, like, "Jesus is the reason for the season". Now, I'm not shaming anybody who's used it because it works at this time of year. But the reality of it is, is Jesus is not the reason for the season. Jesus is ...read more

You, The Gospel & Jewish People Ii Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jul 18, 2022

The Jews are definitely hardened to the Gospel, even yet today. How should we relate to them in light of their general rejection and hostility to the Gospel? Have they been rejected by God forever?

When I first became convinced that Jewish outreach was to be a priority, I made a point of meeting some Jewish people at a Christians United for Israel dinner here in Israel. I met a relatively young Jewish medical doctor there and then a week or so later, boldly called him up at his practice to ...read more

Got Problems?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Apr 20, 2023

Promises cause problems, which God uses to give provision. God gave Israel and you three options: surrender to the crisis, fight the undefeatable foe, or trust in God to deliver you from the enemies that present themselves, and to wipe them out.

Promises cause problems, which God uses to give provision. Consider Moses and the children of Israel fleeing from Pharaoh and brutal slavery. They had been delivered from 400 years of slavery by ten plagues that crushed Egypt, the most powerful nation on the face of the earth at that time. They ...read more
