  • Shadow Of Death

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 27, 2020
     | 7,679 views

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the ‘shadow of death’ indicates there is a massive, bright and overwhelming light of hope behind any ‘darkness’ that haunts you. Behind any/all darkness in your life is that ‘ray of hope’, which is higher, greater, and certainly brighter than any ‘doom’.

    Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined. Often it is the feeling or condition of being afraid. Combine that with Darkness and there-in is a gripping and many times overwhelming sense of pending doom.. of certain calamity… ...read more

  • Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 5, 2022
     | 4,975 views

    Normally the birthright goes to the firstborn son. That would be Jacob’s brother Esau. Now we will look at how Jacob manipulated the birthright for the blessing. By custom Esau was to inherit the blessings of Abraham and Isaac. This fellow Jacob stole Esau’s birthright and blessing.

It’s not that we do not relate to the weakness of his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham, but Jacobs selfish and ...read more
