    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Mar 19, 2024
     | 907 views

    The Believer in Christ can find themselves in the midst of worldly trouble; trouble they never asked for. When confronted by evil men and their agendas we retain an authority in Christ to set at bay unwarranted advances. Its all found in the Name of Jesus.

    Video presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPM6oHOYLsg&t The Name of Jesus is our first and last line of defense against human and spiritual violence. It is not merely reciting the name that is powerful, but rather it is the authority that is behind the Name and our position within ...read more

    It has gotten to the point that the terms “terrorism” and “Islam” may be viewed as synonymous because of the actions of al Qaeda. Are they interpreting the Qur'an correctly?

    The media has portrayed a telling picture of the perpetrators of 9/11: a picture of violence and hatred toward America. They have been portrayed as “the main enemy of the West and […] as a hotbed of terrorism that threatens Western civilization and its democratic values” (Khan n. ...read more

    A Call For Justice

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 17, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,222 views

    Be careful what you ask for when you make a complaint to God. Sometimes God delays bringing justice to the world because the price is so high. Sometimes justice is brought about by unjust people. Be prepared to let God decide when's the right time to act.

    The cry for justice is a common occurrence in our world isn't it? Injustice takes place at all sorts of levels and we wonder, why does God allow it? It's like what we saw in Psalm 73 a few weeks ago. Why do the wicked prosper? Why do the powerful get away with taking advantage of the weak and ...read more

    Judgement was about to open the door and come through. The Day of the LORD is about to fall and who pays the slightest attention? We should be warning them in our preaching. It is one thing to preach gospel stories, but preach what is coming on the earth warning men and women.

    A STUDY OF “THE DAY OF THE LORD” IN THE SCRIPTURES – ALL REFERENCES PART 6 - ZEPHANIAH The DAY OF THE LORD is “The Day of Jehovah” and its usage is always associated with something dire, with judgement, and with events outside the implementation of man.
