    John's World

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 15, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,411 views

    Was John only the apostle of love, or also the prophet of judgment? Was he "free will" as in John 3:16, or "predestination" as in John 6:37. To ask these things about him is really to ask them about the One he quoted. Jesus does not fit into our boxes...

    John’s World… Did John contradict John in regards to the doctrines of grace? Whose side was he on, after all? It wasn’t just Paul! There’s a real opposition in the evangelical church to what they call “Calvinism”, but what Spurgeon called “Bible.” ...read more

     | 3,888 views

    Greater and greater grows the power of "Christendom" under the Popes of the darkened ages. Lesser and lesser grows the prospects of the descendants of Abraham. And what is the Islamic connection to Babylon?

    TWENTY-FIVE: THE FIRST "REAL" POPES? Some claim that Leo I was the first pope (440-461). "He claimed that he was, by Divine appointment, Primate of all Bishops...that resistance to His authority was a sure way to Hell...advocated the death penalty for heresy..." (Halley, p. 770) Again it is ...read more

    God Cares

    based on 4 ratings
     | 34,662 views

    Sometimes it may seem as if God doesn't care. The storms come and we wonder where he is. We are overwhelmed with life's duties and wonder where our help is. A loved one dies unexpectedly and we wonder why God didn't stop it. Does God really care? Yes!

    GOD CARES INTRODUCTION: Have you ever felt alone or abandoned? Felt like no one cared? “In December 2000 a German woman living in the city of Marburg, died while at home in her flat. Ten months later her landlord forced open the door to the flat, concerned that she hadn’t paid rent for ...read more

    Paul’s desire which should also be our desire. 1- He had the desire to see people saved 2- He had the desire to preach the gospel

    INTRO.- My heart’s desire. What is your heart’s desire? I think every human person has desires in life, and often, intense desires. I’m not sure it’s knowledge or wisdom, however, like Solomon asked for in I Kings 3:7-14. There may be certain days when we want wisdom and ...read more

     | 5,708 views

    Many a times we wonder if we can really be restored or is it just a great idea! Tomorrow as we delve into God's Word, we will see what God has already done to reconcile us to Him. The question remains how have we responded to His restoration for us?

    Opening illustration: A woman who restores valuable paintings says many works of art that seem hopelessly damaged can be saved by an expert. Rebecca McLain has brought color and life back to dulled oil paintings by carefully removing dirt and discolored varnish. But she has also seen the damage ...read more

    One man's attempt to unravel the Scriptural reasons for suffering, especially the suffering of the people of God. Not an easy task.

    SUFFERING, per the BIBLE Another man’s attempt to figure it out… It’s not as easy as we are led to believe. We get sick and right away someone tells us we are being judged of God. Maybe. Another person gets sick, and he is told there is no spiritual significance to the illness. ...read more

    Ladies, Are You Doing Porn?

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 13, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,745 views

    Men are not the only the ones prone to porn. Adult sites are not the only place to find it. The results are destructive.

    If I were at a woman’s conference and I asked the question, “Ladies, are you doing Porn?” I would probably receive an eardrum shattering no. The truth is there would most likely be more women in that group guilty of it than they imagine and some may be married to more than one man and not know ...read more
