The Leprosy Exchange Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 30, 2017

When we humble ourselves, we can draw near to God and be blessed by Him. When we elevate ourselves or self-interest, we are driven from Him and under his discipline.

The Leprosy Exchange (2 Kings 5:1-27) 1. Probably every one of us thinks, “I hope I never get to a condition where other people have to take care of me because I am bedfast.” 2.

God Is Not A God Of Confusion

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023

We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

“God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jun 27, 2012

Jesus is not interested in rules which people can point to as the outward manifestation of some arbitrary rule-driven form of righteousness. He is interested in the heart.

Stand In The Gap

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Nov 19, 2019

When the natural structure of the family is ignored and replaced by a man-made family structure, the things of god become neglected and the worship of God becomes replaced with self-filling desires that feed the flesh and promotes a society that is driven by greed and power.
