Iron, That Floats—even Swims.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 7, 2021

Again ax-heads don't float. Or do they? Maybe it’s time to pray a ridiculous prayer! The Bible say’s, “The iron did swim!” This ranks as one of my favorite miracles in the scripture for a couple reasons. First, this isn't a life or death situation. It's just a borrowed ax head.

Iron, That Floats—Even Swims. 2 Kings 6:1-7NLT Whenever I counsel people who are wrestling with the will of God. I remind them of a simple truth: “God wants you to get where God wants you to go, more than you want to get where God wants you to go.” I’ll read it once more—it should relieve you from ...read more

Having The Right Attitude In Our Prayer Life.

Job 2

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 5, 2019

This is the second attempt by Satan to get Job to curse God after the first attempt failed. This shows that true lovers of the Lord will remain true lovers of the Lord, even in times of deep trouble or grief.

Last Sunday, we talked about how Job lost everything he had, including all physical property along with all his children. And how, even though he suffered, he did not blame God, but chose to worship God instead. Today, Satan gives him another test designed to test his loyalty to God, and we will ...read more

The Gospel Succeeds Even In An Age Of Fecklessness Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2020

We need to continue on the path we were set on by Jesus long ago–the path to holiness. That means giving up everything of this world that keeps us from imaging Jesus and Mary.
