     | 4,932 views

    The creation story is one of the most awesome story that we can study. In the business of our lives it is possible that we miss the presence of such an awesome God in our lives. Let us prepare ourselves for an awesome encounter with God.

    First of all, Let me wish you all a very happy and blessed new year ahead. Well: Here we are. Yet another New year, yet another opportunity to look at the blessings of the previous year and give thanks.

    There are a lot of strange stories in the Bible. But, like everything else, they are God-breathed and profitable (2 Timothy 3:16-17). What can we learn from the strange story of Saul and the witch of En-Dor?

     | 1,356 views

    At the beginning of the third chapter of Acts, the story of the glorious healing of the man who had been lame from birth is recorded.

    This man was a picture of the sinner, who is born spiritually lame. God did an undeniable work in his life, but the ungodly, though religious, would not accept it. It is still the same today. God does great things, and still ungodly men will not accept what He does, and can do, for mankind. ...read more

     | 3,870 views

    Everyone wants to know the end of a story. That alone makes people candidates for hearing the gospel.

    Although I’m sure there are exceptions, it has been apparent at least in my own personal observations, that people need to see things through to a finish. Just a few years ago a man named Vernon Howell and his deluded followers attacked ATF agents. Then they barricaded themselves against the ...read more
