The Handwriting On The Wall Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

Belshazzar arrogantly tested the Lord by converting the use of the most holy vessels from God's temple into vessels for the most unholy of purposes--worshiping idols and drunken immorality. He thus discovered a recipe for spiritual disaster. Learn from him how to avoid spiritual disaster!

This morning, we have the privilege of consider the actual historical and Scriptural event that resulted in our proverbial saying, “And I saw the handwriting on the wall.” Obviously, the biblical story has made such an impression on people of our culture that 2600 hundred years later we still use ...read more

Why Prayers Are Not Answered

Contributed by James Dina on Jun 18, 2021

I cried to God and He has heard me, and attended to the voice of my prayer; Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy away from me.

WHY PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED "I cry unto you, and you do not hear me: I stand up, and you didn't regard me" (Job 30:20) I prayed and cried to "the God that answers prayer" but He does not answer; Maybe He didn't hear me. That's the question that goes on in the ...read more

A Recess Appointment

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 27, 2021

Loosing your focus on God, always leads to the enslavement of some kind of sin! And like any other circumstance, if you set up a cot there you’re going to be staying enslaved longer, than you can imagine!

A Recess Appointment Does anyone remember when we were children and went to school. By far the best part of the day hands-down was always recess. Sure learning was fun as was sitting next to your best friend. It didn’t matter what kind of a day you were having, because when recess came ...read more

I'm Confident Of That (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 1, 2020

We can view the word confident in a purely negative light. We associate confidence with pride and arrogance, but that's not always the case. There are times where the word is used in a positive way. Let's look at some of them and see what we can take away.

I'M CONFIDENT OF THAT (part one) In the Wed. night study we've been going over verses regarding boasting about tomorrow and making plans for tomorrow but things not going as planned. Sometimes we're too confident that things are going to go a certain way and are blindsided when they ...read more

Jael The Assassin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Jael has a plan to kill Sisera , and the best and safest way to do that is to lure him into a sense of security where he will take a nap.

Assassins are never heroes in the history of Americans, for they are always those who seek to kill our presidents whom we admire. This is not always the case in other nations. The Jews, for example, have some assassins who are heroes in their history. Two of them are Hakim and Bet Zuri. They were ...read more

The Paradox Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul says the love of money is the root of all evil, and Mark Twain said, the lack of money is the root of all evil. The one does not eliminate the other, for Twain's remark compliments Paul's.

Someone said, life is an everlasting struggle to keep money coming in, and teeth, hair, and vital organs from coming out. Few have known this better than General Ulysses S. Grant. He led the armies of the North to victory in the Civil War, and was twice elected president of the United States. He ...read more

I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
