Shaking Hands With Heaven, Making Eyes With The Devil

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 8, 2019

Many Christians fall in love with the devil. It starts by flirting with the devil and it ends with falling in love with the devil.

Last week, I ended with asking you how your relationship with The Lord was, and how your relationship with satan is. Many Christians shudder at the thought of developing a relationship, or a bond, with satan and rightly so. To think that a child of God would enjoy close companionship to the ...read more

Salt

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 24, 2021

I Am Transformed! Series

Contributed by Stephen Brown on Jan 19, 2016

The word transformed is used 4 times in the New Testament. Twice describing Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration and twice describing God’s affect on Christians. Thankfully, it is not something I try to accomplish, but something God accomplished in me.

When I enlisted in the Army in 1985, I was a naïve, country boy from WV. After their offer and my oath of commitment, the Army upheld their responsibilities and I upheld mine. Over time, by their influence and training, I was transformed into a soldier. If the military can accomplish that in me, ...read more

The Three "onlys" All Worked Out (Joshua 21:43-45, 22:1-9) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 28, 2022

Joshua's book tension results from the 3 "onlys" of ch. 1. But they all work out: God is faithful, Joshua is brave, and the people obey.

When we started this study on Joshua, it was kind of overwhelming. How can you tell what you're supposed to focus on as you read? How can you tell what's important to the author? Usually what biblical authors do near the start of their books is give you some help in this. They'll ...read more

Standing On The Promises Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 30, 2022

In 2 Samuel 5-7 David stands on God’s promise to him. It is God’s covenant to David. The promise is that his decedents will reign on the throne of Israel forever. Yet this promise goes beyond David and his family and the King of Israel. It is the promise of the coming Messiah.

When God makes you a promise you can stand on that promise The Hymn says it well: Standing on the promises that cannot fail, When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living Word of God, I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God. That hymn has brought great comfort to many ...read more
