Ancient Paths Are Ripped Up And Crooked Ways Prevail Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 13, 2024

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.

The Foolishness Of Christmas Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

Let's look at the foolishness of Christmas and see just how wise it really is. The foolishness of God is very simply the foolishness of love. True love tends to be foolish for it takes risks.

A large number of life's greatest blessings start out as stupid, moronic foolishness in the eyes of many people. This was the case with Samuel Morse, a pastor's son and an artist who left his art for a new idea. He thought that a message could be sent by means of electricity. He labored ...read more

Contributed by Bob Myers on Sep 8, 2020

Jesus' question is the same to you and me today as it was to Bartimaeus on the road to Jerusalem: What do you want me to do for you?
