Well, that might be partly why I have some hearing loss though the VA says my hearing is perfect. My wife disagrees. Anyway, I have a lot of folks that I care about that love ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,180 views

    God divided the languages and scattered them all over the world. Now why did the Lord do this? Does God approve of racism? It seems God wanted racial separation, not based on skin colour but on language? Why? God is not a racist! So what is happening here

    Genesis 11 – Part 1 - DOES GOD APPROVE OF RACISM? Sydney has major shopping malls. I mean big and crowded with people. I couldn’t help thinking that as I looked down the floor of Westmead Shopping Centre in Sydney, there within a short space, were over 300 people walking towards me. ...read more

    There are those who declare that you can tell if you have the Spirit by some miraculous behavior on your part. But, Paul writes that you need to gauge God’s Spirit in a different way.

    Melchizedek – A Better King Series

    Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 8, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,027 views

    The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

    Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top. He appeared once, in Genesis 14 and he was referred once more, in Psalm 110. You could hardly call this “top billing,” but the Holy Spirit reached ...read more
