Our Accountability Before God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 23, 2021

In his series of revival messages, the late evangelist and teacher Dr. R.A. Torrey (1856-1928) sets the foundation of all he will preach by presenting God in all His splendor, creativity, rationality, and holiness, and that we will be held accountable before Him one day. Be ready.

God is Great! That thought comes out in the Bible from the first verse to the last. He is majestic, infinite, and wonderful beyond words! This entire universe, of which we something new about every day it seems, is His creative work. The supreme difference between the teaching of the Bible and ...read more

A Call For Justice

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 17, 2017

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

"i Am With You In The Silence" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 2, 2020

Habakkuk’s praise was not dependent upon his circumstances and neither should our praise be dependent upon our circumstances. Even if our whole world is coming unglued, we will praise and worship Almighty God. Even if we lose everything, we will rejoice in the LORD and spin around in joy.

I don’t know exactly when … it was about four or five years ago … I came across an interesting documentary while I was surfing the web. I wish I had written the title down … I probably did and lost it. Anyways, I don’t remember the title but I do remember the documentary. It was a fascinating ...read more
