    Should Protestants Be Allowed To Have An Opinion Regarding The New Pope?

    It has been suggested that it is a tragedy for Evangelicals to pray and fast regarding the new pope as called for by Rick Warren. While it might not be an issue worthy of fasting over as it doesn't look like most of the top contenders to the papal throne have themselves missed too many meals and ...read more

     | 7,491 views

    Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, and that miracle brought results. First of all and most important is that many believed on him. There were others that did not believe and they went back to Jerusalem to report this incident to the religious leaders.

    Perea to Bethany Lesson: Reaction to the Resurrection of Lazarus John 11:45-54 (John 11:45-46) Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had ...read more

    Biomedical Developments Require Advanced Ethical Reflection

    With advances in medical science, the line between when doctors should intervene to save a life and when they should step back to allow nature to take its course has become increasingly blurred.

    THE NEED TO LEAVE AN ENDURING LEGACY FOR POSTERITY

    The term values is used in many schools, but it can be a bit abstract. Virtues are values expressed in character, and character affects how we treat those around us. Character is a must for the sake of others as for our own sake. The perfect expression of this was Jesus Christ whom Christians ...read more

    Ash Wednesday sermon about confronting our sins, but how that is a call to vulnerability by the Holy Spirit

    Ash Wednesday: At one time Advent was my favorite season of the church year. The happiness, the joy of anticipation, the hope of a manger, the birth of a child… it all added a hopeful newness to my soul. But our culture ruined Christmas with the rabid consumerism and those lame made for TV ...read more

    Manipulation

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 3, 2020
     | 11,151 views

    Manipulation is a demonic spirit that one must be delivered from, so that one would not manipulate others and one would not be manipulated.

    What is manipulation? In my own understanding, manipulation is: • An act of tactically influencing another person mind into thinking or doing what they would not have otherwise thought or done. • A demonic and afflicting spirit, because of the characters it exhibits. "Psychological ...read more

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-Four. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Joseph now puts his brothers to the test. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 44 Joseph commands his steward to hide his cup in the sack of Benjamin, and then to pursue his brethren. He declares that he will retain ...read more

    The Celebration Of Passover Series

     | 266 views

    Evening arrived and all the disciples were there. A sense of expectation filled the room – something special was about to happen – they just knew it!! Maybe Jesus was FINALLY going to establish his kingdom and announce his cabinet (which, of course, would be them).

    April 05, 2025 The disciples had been with Jesus for more than 3 years. They had listened as he taught and watched as he worked. They had witnessed the feeding of the 5,000, the raising of the widow’s son, the healing of the lame, the restoring of sight to the blind. Peter had even walked with ...read more

    We all know that the Internet has given us lots of opportunities to be tempted to sin, hasn’t it? Is the temptation itself sinful?

    Eighth Sunday in Course 2025 Some people don’t have the deuterocanonical book of Sirach in their Bibles, so I’ll read some of the first reading.

    Tares are toxic and imitators. They need to be recognized and watched.

    Tarrying with the Tares Matthew 13:24-32, 36-43 Tares and wheat are look-alike twins. Especially in the early stages.
