Two Minute Warning

Contributed by Thomas Dibble on May 30, 2003

More than ever we need to pay attention to: Our walk with God, Our prayer life, Our heart, Our attitude, and The way we think. Why? Because it’s two minute warning time. Jesus is coming soon.

The two minute warning is something that takes place at the end of certain sporting events. Its an alarm or buzzer that goes off, or a pause in the game to let the participants know that there is only two minutes left in this game. It tells the opponents one of two things: 1. I’ve either got to ...read more

Fleeing From God Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 6, 2016

To escape the presence of God is not rational thinking, certainly for a prophet of God. But how many of us are rational when we reject God’s commands and escape his attention? And that leads us to consider how much Jonah is like us.

God calls him to leave his homeland and he leaves. God calls him to sacrifice his son, and he rises early the next ...read more

In God We Trust

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 9, 2002

I’m concerned that as a nation we’ll hear the speeches, pay our respects, bow our heads, enjoy the music, & then return to business as usual – our lives unchanged, & God once again relegated to the back shelf.

Adoration Of God Alone

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 30, 2020

The words adore and adoration have been trivialized over the past few decades. Do we worship and adore the God of Heaven and earth alone or are others drawing our worship-attention away to places it does not belong?
