Under Angelic Protection Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 28, 2021

You may have observed the additional security being provided by the government for those who are in high positions, especially if there is a threat to their life. However, as children of God we need to be reminded that our protection comes not from men, but from God Himself.

Under Angelic Protection We read in Psalm 91:11, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” (ESV) Psalm 91 in its entirety portrays most vividly the protection of God that is available to all those who take refuge in God and make Him their dwelling place.

What Goes In Doesn't Have To Be What Comes Out

Contributed by David Nolte on Apr 17, 2021

G.I.G.O. is computerese for Garbage In, Garbage Out. Computers use only what has been input. As we sow, we reap. But often God has something good come out when evil has been put in.

Most people know the meaning of G. I. G. O. It’s computerese and it stands for “Garbage In, Garbage Out.” In reality computers can’t think for themselves and operate on the basis of data typed or programmed in. They put out what has been put in, so if we input stupid, wrong data (Garbage), we ...read more

Joy Was A Top Priority With Jesus Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 3, 2023

Jesus has become a political liability, so He becomes a political pawn. With ruthless, satanic reasoning, Pilate released a murder and sentenced the innocent Jesus to death by crucifixion.

"do Not Judge" Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023

Although Jesus said the words, "Do not judge..." (Matthew 7:1), we have to read on to see what Jesus is really teaching about judging and not judging others.

A. According to Lifeway Christian Resources, the most misused VERSE found in the Bible is: “DO NOT JUDGE.” 1. The Bible talks a lot about JUDGING, but the verse they had in mind was what Jesus taught at the close of His Sermon on the Mount: “Do not judge, or you too will be ...read more

Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Oct 23, 2023

In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

“Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more
