    based on 1 rating
     | 7,857 views

    The rise of two ancient world powers, Rome and Babylon, during the Great Tribulation, only to be destroyed by Christ when He comes again, presents us with a choice. We can choose to pursue this world, which is passing away, or Christ, who reigns forever.

    Once upon a time, a really cool young man bought one of the best cars around: a Ferrari GTO. He took it out for a spin and stopped at a red light. An old man on a moped pulled up next to him. The old man looked over at the sleek, shiny car and asked, “What kind of car ya' got there, ...read more

    When is being good not good enough? How would you define being Good? (Not being as bad as the person next to you?)

    Listen: http://www.wayneamydutoit.com/Wayne/is-good-good-enough/ {Desire – to change, motivating factors / consequences / benefits} I have heard people say that that are “good” people. That if there is a God and He is a God of love that He would not throw them into hell, because ...read more

    Joy To The World

    Contributed by Marc Phillips on Dec 18, 2015
     | 6,254 views

    We should carry our Joy in everything we do. Our joy is a gift of the Holy Spirit and when we are less than joyful we are squashing that spirit. Joy to the World is not just for Christmas, but for all year long!

    Scripture is shared from the NASB... We just sang Joy to the World as a praise song, and I think we did a pretty good job of it. I’d like to try this exercise together if you would indulge me for a moment. Let’s sing that first verse again, only let’s do it with a scowl or a ...read more

The change we need in our lives, family, church and nation will surely come when God visits us. DESIRE CONTINUOUS VISITATIONS FROM GOD ...read more

     | 6,876 views

    Do you want to be truly wise? Then be worthy like a mom. Work hard like a mom. Live well like a mom, and find honor like a mom. To put it simply: Trust and obey your mother’s God.

    Some time ago, Peg Beukema of Nyack, New York, collected the responses of several elementary school children to some questions about moms. I got a kick out of reading them this last week, and I thought you’d enjoy them too, especially on this Mother’s Day. Why did God make mothers? ...read more

    Will a person Rob God? You can't really rob God. When you try to rob God, you are only robbing yourself. It is only God who can give you a future.

    “They shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, my special possession on the day when I act, …” (Mal 3:17 NRS) The prophet Malachi, stands at the end of the Hebrew Bible (at least the Christian version of it), and he also stands on the threshold of a whole new world---the future ...read more
