Jesus Loves The Little Children Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 21, 2023

The difference between the world and God is very harsh when it come to children. God considers them precious, while the world often considers them expendable. What is God's attitude toward abortion and what can we do for those who struggle with that decision?

And what I find interesting is that there’s this contrast between the views of the disciples… and Jesus. There’s this group of parents who are bringing “infants” to ...read more

Love Is Forgetful Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 28, 2009

We often think of forgetfulness as a weakness, as a problem. And more often than not that is true. But there is a time when forgetfulness becomes an absolute necessity. Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ He says that love is forgetful.

In the middle of that list of what love is, Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ (v5). In other words what he is saying is that, as well as being patient, and kind and a whole host of other things – love is also forgetful! –‘ Love - keeps no record of wrongs’ Love is forgetful!

The God Of Christ Paid Back

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Dec 14, 2014

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Apr 15, 2020

The people of Edom may have thought, "we have done nothing wrong"; however, they had. God uses Obadiah to give them the reasons they would be judged harshly for the wrongs they had done.

Someone may try to argue that Edom did not do violence against Israel. They were ...read more

The Lord Is My Banner Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 19, 2022

Is the Lord your banner? Is he the rallying point in your life? We are victorious only to the extent God is our banner. There will be no victory in our own strength. Nothing is too great that cannot be overcome when God is our banner.

Have you ever stopped to think about, what is a flag? It is more than a cloth design hanging on a pole. A flag means more than that for many people. It can represent national pride and patriotism. As we study the character of God we study the name of God Jehovah-Nissi. The Lord is my banner, or ...read more
