Don't Rebuild Your Jericho

Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Jan 22, 2003

Joshua made a convenant with the Israelites that Jericho wouldn’t be rebuilt, for its ruin should always be a reminder of God’s power. In life, what God destroys in our lives, He intends to stay in ruins.

The scene of the text was one of destruction, fire, ruin. But, for the children of Israel, it was a scene full of victory. God had done a mighty work that He promised He would do on behalf of His people. He said Israel would possess Canaan and would destroy all those who oppose His plan. So ...read more

God's Riches At Christ's Expense

Contributed by Gregg Bitter on Mar 31, 2003

Our amazement at God’s grace grows the more we see that it comes at Christ’s expense, which means that grace is totally undeserving by us, that grace is only in Jesus, and that grace is for God’s glory.

God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God through which the Holy Spirit touches our hearts are the words he breathed into the Apostle Paul to write, recorded in Ephesians 2: But because of his great love for us, God, ...read more

Contributed by Jimmy Stewart on Apr 2, 2003

As long as the Lord is your shepherd, what else do you want?

Of Snakes And Crosses

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Apr 2, 2003

Lent 4: The Lord has prescribed the method whereby we must be saved. It might seem odd - maybe crazy - like gazing at a snake on a pole... or a Savior on a Cross.

Folks were fussing and griping. They were angry and upset and - as is almost always the case under these circumstances - they began to criticize. Soon the words became heated. The harshness of the comments spoken was only thinly veiled. The angry words spoken were like painful, barbed darts – ...read more

Need A Do-Over?

Contributed by Don Jaques on Dec 29, 2005
