Sin's Blood-Stained Progression

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 18, 2023

The tragic story of Cain and Abel did not have to happen if only Cain had controlled his emotions and listened to the counsel of God. Instead, we witness the first murder and the further progression of humanity's rebellion and wickedness.

In the first verses of Genesis 4, we are introduced to two sons of Adam and Eve, two attitudes of reverence towards God, one act of obedience, one act of defiance, a refusal to heed sound advice, and the horrendous consequences of rebellion. We witness remorse, selfish concern, and the gradual ...read more

Anger, guilt and grief, are they sin? If left out of the cage they could be. Yet there is a human emotion that is always, without out exception, a sin - Bitterness. Bitterness and unforgiveness are always linked and are always sin. And there are only two responses on the shelf.

Contributed by Troy Borst on Oct 7, 2025

The Ripple Effect Of Revival

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 10, 2025

Revival is not merely a series of emotional meetings or a spiritual high—it is a divine awakening. It is when God breathes life into dry bones, rekindles the fire of holiness, and restores His people to intimacy and purpose. Revival is heaven invading earth.

Thankful For The Cross

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 25, 2015

The Unchanging Faithfulness Of God Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 15, 2015

We can rely on God to do as He has said. It is His nature to be faithful. He will never let us down. We may lose our health, our job, our friends, but we will not lose God. He is an unchanging God in a changing world.
