Tempted

Contributed by James Jerpseth on Mar 3, 2001

Having grown up in hte desert, I know how harsh the place is and how tempting the options presented by hte devil really are. On the surface the temptations seem harmless and perhaps even good in the right hands but they all take our attention off God.

I grew up going to the desert, and thought that I knew what the desert lands are all about. I’ve been camping many times in the Anza Berrego wilderness and understand that the desert is a harsh and foreboding place. I know to stay on the trails, look for snakes and take lots of extra water.

Patience: Overcoming The Frenzied Life Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 5, 2023

By a show of hands, are you by nature a patient person? If you were to assign a percentage to your level of patience, what would it be? Is anyone at 100% on the patience level? Let me encourage you today by saying this no one is born patient. For patience is a work of the Holy Spirit.

When you see a patient person, you’ve seen something rare. For it takes supernatural power to be patient. We live in a world obsessed with speed. We become angry if the video doesn’t download immediately or the fast food lines take too long. And who likes waiting in a doctor’s office, or waiting ...read more

Revelation Lesson #10 Series

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Mar 27, 2024

Encourage Yourself

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Apr 22, 2010

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 15, 2024

We’re look at NINE SIGNS OF THE SOON COMING OF JESUS that have never happened before. These are signs that, if we’re not braindead, ought to be like flashing lights or sirens wailing – warning us to “all-hands-on-deck” readiness for the Second Coming.
