    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Feb 23, 2009
     | 6,362 views

    What should we do when we make mistakes and can we become good witnesses for God again?

    We have all done it! We have all done something not good; then we say to ourselves, “Wow, I was really a poor testimony for God with that one.” Did anyone get hurt? Did you do anything about it? You know, this is actually a good sign when you realize you have done something wrong for God. This ...read more

    Three things that should be found in the life of any man or woman of faith: An altar of dedication to the will of the Saviour A tent of detachment from the ways of society A well of dependence on the Word of the Spirit.

    THE FINISHING OF FAITH Hebrews 11 could be called "The Saints Hall of Fame", "The Westminster Abbey of Scripture", and "The Honor Roll of the Old Testament Saints." It deals with the excellency of faith. We observe faith worshipping, walking, working, waiting, warring, and faith winning. We ...read more

    Three Symbols Of Spiritual Success

    Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Oct 14, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,951 views

    There are three things in the life of Isaac which are symbolic of the conditions for a believer who desires to have spiritual success.

    Intro: Isaac was the son of a famous father (Abraham) and the father of a famous son (Jacob, who was Israel). But being the son of Abraham and the father of Jacob was NOT the key to his spiritual success. Isaac himself lived a life of obedience and faith in God. Read Gen. 26:25. We find 3 things ...read more

    When opposition comes, like Isaac, persevere by remembering the promises of God until even your enemies recognize God’s presence in your life. Or to put it more simply: trust God and dig another well.

    We often think that God’s blessing should just pop up. Some do! More often than not though God asks us to look for them. God has strategically placed His blessings where we could find them if we are listening to Him. God wants us to remember that He loves

    What does trusting in Christ look like? What difference does it make if I give my life to Christ? Isaac is a believer. His brother Esau is not. We can learn a lot from their journey in Genesis 26.

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 26 1. And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And ...read more
