    Ancient Paths Are Ripped Up And Crooked Ways Prevail Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024
     | 948 views

    Our nations have bulldozed out the ancient paths that were set for us by more decent legislators and leaders in the past; indeed, by God Himself. Every moral statute of God has now been trashed – marriage, creation, birth, sexuality. Judah did that and met God’s judgement.

    ANCIENT PATHS ARE RIPPED UP AND CROOKED WAYS PREVAIL {{Jeremiah 6:16 Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see, AND ASK FOR THE ANCIENT PATHS WHERE THE GOOD WAY IS, AND WALK IN IT, and you shall find rest for your souls, but they said, ‘We will not walk in it.

    Home Is Where The Soul Is

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Nov 16, 2022

    Focusing on what God has done for us in salvation will help us get through the truth that the world is not our home and we will not find satisfaction, rest, or peace except in Him.

He expects to go to heaven on the virtue of Another, empties himself in order that he might be full, admits he is wrong to he ...read more

    The very best place to be is in a church that is unified and handling well the threats to unity. The very worst is a church that is splintered, full of cliques and getting worse each year.
