Fortunetellers, Witchcraft, And Magic

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 25, 2021

The Bible does not differentiate between “good” and “bad” magic. Scripture doesn’t distinguish whether the magic is supposed to be used for good or for bad; it’s forbidden when and if it appears from a source other than God's powers or implementations.

Over the course of your life, you probably have been exposed to discussions on white or black magic. White magic is often considered and described as “good” magic. This is in contrast to black magic, which is a power or phenomenon evoked by evil spirits. Some people believe both variants exist. ...read more

Living In The Tree Of Life (Part 1)

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

Many believers are living in fear, guilt, shame, and condemnation. They are partaking of death instead of life; unknowingly eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, instead of eating from the tree of life.

This morning I want to talk about life, not the facts of life or difficulties of life, but how to have true life in the Lord. In our United States Declaration of Independence we encounter the phrase, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” which is one of the most well known statements in ...read more

Living In The Tree Of Life (Part 2)

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the formation of a value system; or rather, a "judgement" system. Living in the tree of life is making decisions from life and liberty, and what stimulates life in both you and others.

This morning’s message is a continuation of last week’s on the tree of life, and I have entitled our sermon, “Living in the Tree of Life” – Part 2. I would like to begin with some food for thought by sharing a real life illustration of a historical figure who walked in the tree of life. George ...read more

Elevate To The Next Level: "Living In The Meanwhile”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jul 13, 2025

I’d like to introduce a new word that is rarely heard in theological circles, but it’s a word that will help us understand God’s purpose in the in-betweens of life that we looked at last week. And I’d like to expand on this idea looking at living life in the meanwhile.

Let's explore this concept further with biblical examples.

The Bible teaches that those who practice sin are under the influence of the devil. In 1 John 3:8, it is written, "The one who does sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning." This verse highlights the spiritual reality that sin has its roots in the devil's ...read more

Viewing God’s Sovereign Work

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Sep 27, 2024

How should we view when God exercises His Sovereign Power? Or, when we consider His Sovereign Work, what should enter our mind?
