The Perfect Promise Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

This was a personal promise to this man that on this very day that he would die he would enter into the perfect life.

Jonathan Swift made the well known statement, "Promises and pie crust are made to be broken." This attitude has prevailed through much of history, and the result has been that many have been rich in promises, but poor in performance. Many centuries ago Ovid suggested that men ought ...read more

The Perfect Promise

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus promised forgiveness in general to all who had a part in His crucifixion, but to the dying thief next to Him He made a very personal and precise promise that can be claimed by all who will, like this thief, turn to Jesus in faith.

The Value Of Death Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

By rough estimate I counted 750 references to death and dying in my concordance of the Bible. If we are to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, then no Christian can be honest with God's word and ignore the subject of death.

There are two subjects that men have tended to be shy about all through history. These two subjects have been considered off limits as topics of public conversation. It was taboo to speak of them openly. The two subjects are, sex and death. The paradox of this is, there are no two more ...read more

The Works God Requires

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 27, 2017

In the sixth chapter of John Jesus is interacting with "followers" who have been raised with and external, works-centered holiness. Jesus boils it all down to one simple action; an action which is not possible without the work of God Himself.

Please open your Bibles to John 6:25-42 which we will read in a few minutes. As we prepare to read this text that Jesus has miraculously fed the five thousand with five small barley loaves and two small fish, and, after everyone had eaten their fill the disciples picked up twelve baskets of ...read more

Beware Of Marriage Scammers And Frauds Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Nov 4, 2023

God is not bound by dishonest agreements, such as marriage contracts. The reason such a marriage was dissolved was a purposefully concealed false agenda.

God doesn't bind fraudulent contracts including the contract of marriage. A deliberately hidden fraudulent agenda is the motive for such marriage being annulled. That is, it was never a valid, bound marriage. Fraud is something that occurs before marriage and begins in the mind of the person ...read more
