This friend, it turns out, is contemplating leaving his wife after 15 years of marriage because he’s found someone younger and ...read more

    Mary serves as an example of how to handle life when life doesn't go as expected--a great example. We all experience this sort of thing, and we find out--life doens't go as expected all the time. How would God have us respond?

    The Divine Advent(ure) How to Handle the Unexpected Luke 1:26-56 Have you ever noticed how life never seems to going exactly, or sometimes, even close to your plans? One of my favorite quotes is this one, apparently from an unbeliever: “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” And ...read more

    How To Find The Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,089 views

    The world is a very dangerous place spiritually, full of wolves that come to us in sheep's clothing, evil shepherds masquerading as good shepherds. How do we find the Good Shepherd? How do we determine the difference between good shepherds and bad? Jesus provides insight in John 10.

Under this general category fall false shepherds, false prophets and false apostles. You see, the Bible claims to be the truth about God and ...read more
