    Jesus nicknamed James and John the "Sons of Thunder," because of their swift, brash and judgmental temperaments. They were ready to call down fire on people. But we see how the Spirit transformed John into the Apostle of Love. Has God changed you?

    Why do the Gospels tell us the story of the 10 lepers. What does their gratitude (or lack thereof) teach us about them - and about us as Christians?

    September 1923 - a devastating earthquake rocked the islands of Japan. And just in the city of Tokyo it destroyed nearly 75% of the buildings. The New York Tribune called the earthquake “Undoubtedly the greatest disaster in recorded time.” It was estimated that nearly 300,000 people died, and ...read more

     | 3,938 views

    There are two contradictory attitudes among Christians in responding to the war between Israel and Hamas: Pro-Israel or Pro-Hamas. How should we see it objectively and biblically? And what does this war relate to the signs of Jesus's second coming?

    The war between Israel and Hamas has lasted more than a month and claimed thousands of lives. Among Christians, there are two contradictory attitudes in responding to this war. The first is pro-Israel. For them, Israel is God's chosen nation, and therefore, they must always support and defend ...read more

    Are you trying to run away from God ordained relationships because you are unable to handle them? Stop and get back to God and submit to His authority. The Lord can do wonders to restore relationships, and He will bring peace to our restless hearts.

    If one were to describe this period of time, in which we are living, we can depict it as a time when people are constantly running away. We hear of families who are in distress, because the husband or wife chose to walk away from home leaving their spouse and children in a state of abandonment. ...read more

     | 2,498 views

    You've heard the phrase, "close but no cigar". It communicates that getting almost there is not good enough. Jesus had an encounter with a teacher of the law in Mark 12 where he tells him that he was not far from the kingdom of God.

    The Gospel is about rebirth. Undoing the power and bondage of sin and resurrecting a completely new man who has put on the very nature of Christ. The first place that takes place is the mind.

     | 3,015 views

    We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

    Satan Uses Pain

    Start with Job and then talk about how Satan wants to use pain from John 11 with the account of the raising of Lazarus (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    HoHum: When speaking about Job, one time I said, “Satan can do nothing without God’s permission.” This opened up a whole can of worms. If God is good and all powerful, then how do we explain the existence of pain, suffering, and evil in our world? There are no easy answers. WBTU: Take for ...read more
