God’s Equation For Peace

Contributed by Thomas Mccracken on Jan 31, 2012

Peace has been aggressively sought after by humanity ever since Adam and Eve were driven from Eden. God offers peace, yet only when certain qualifications are met. His Way + His Will + His Work = His Peace.

God’s Equation for Peace Hebrews 13:20-21 Introduction: Politician’s promise it, beauty pageant constants propagate it, and world leaders promote it. Humanity has searched for this seemingly elusive precious commodity since Adam and Eve were dragged, kicking and screaming, from the Garden of ...read more

Who Do You Trust? Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 20, 2010

Sin is deadly in the end even though it may seem pleasurable in the beginning. Humans cannot determine what is right and wrong in the universe God created. It is beyond our limitations. So we can and must trust God. The question is will you trust him.

Series Introduction: Middle Eastern people in the Bible, from Abraham to Paul, were as acquainted with covenants as we are with weddings. The Greeks and Romans did not have covenants. In fact, when the Jews translated the OT into Greek, they had to use the Greek word for “will” or ...read more

The Truth About Truth

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 26, 2012

It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).

Opening illustration: When Harvard University was founded, its motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae —“Truth for Christ and the Church.” Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned ...read more

What Stands Between You And God? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 3, 2013

As humans, our default position is to be self-centered. And unless we are aware of it and address it, we will always act in our own best self-interest. But as the Psalms show us, we are not the center of the universe - God is. And that's a very good thing

Psalm 115 is all about how silly we as humans can be, thinking we can actually do anything apart from God. It is also about who really gets the glory—God or us? By the way, many of the lines in this psalm are also found in Psalm 135. 1 – 3 If more of us would live by verse 1 of this ...read more

The War Within Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 7, 2011

Being human we are born with certain default settings that drive us to think in certain ways. When we become a Christian a war starts between a new nature seeking to establish a beachhead and take over and the old regime that wants to stay in control.

The human mind is self-rationalizing. In other words, we will rationalize our thoughts and actions according to ourselves, rather than to some external source. Even when we read something or hear something and alter our behavior, it is because we choose to believe that thing we read or ...read more

Thunder In The Mountains, Silence In The Soul

Patience Is A Fruit Of The Holy Spirit, But There Is A Place For Action

Contributed by David Mcnally on Apr 6, 2014

God ran out of patience with sinful humanity, and sent the Flood. He ran out of patience with Sodom and Gomorrah and sent fire and brimstone. Jews waited patiently for the Messiah, as we wait for His return, but do we have to be patient about everything?
