Instant Idolatry Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

This incident in Babylon shows us that Christians are justified in getting involved in politics, but also in resisting a government that compels obedience to what is contrary to the will of God.

Alfred North Whitehead said, "The key note of idolatry is contentment with the prevalent gods." Nebuchadnezzar, as we saw in the conclusion of chapter 2, had been convinced that Jehovah was the God of gods. Even after this, however, he did not feel compelled to forsake his lesser gods. ...read more

The Mighty Hands Of God Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Aug 14, 2016

In this message, we will learn about how to remain in the safe place always, by being engraved in the palm of His hands enjoying His care and protection rather than to fall into the hands of the living God receiving His wrath and judgment.

Today, we are going to talk about the mighty hands of God. In fact, there are approx. 122 Bible references concerning His hands. Most of these passages talk about the hand of God involved in the creation of the world. But one of my favorite verses that talks about His hand is found in Isaiah 49:16 ...read more

Journey From Religion To Relationship Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 29, 2013

A Jealous God Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 1, 2015

God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.

The Bible clearly teaches that God is a jealous God. That doesn’t sit well with us; the very notion of the jealousy of God sounds offensive. We think of jealousy as an entirely negative quality--a sin. Yet God declares that He is jealous. God restricts allegiance to Himself alone: ...read more
