Is It Time That We Got Back To Work?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Mar 9, 2024

Everybody wants something from us. We hurry through life but then run out of time and energy. Where are our priorities and values?

What Will Harboring Pride In Our Hearts Do To Us?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 21, 2024

Pride is self-esteem, confidence, and satisfaction in self. Some people try to run their own lives without God, as if they do not need Him, because they put themselves first.

Obadiah is the shortest book of the Bible. It is titled “The Vision of Obadiah” as it prophesies the judgment to fall on the nation of Edom. The Edomites were descendants of Esau which made them related to the children of Israel (Genesis 25:19-27:45). Because of Edom’s defiance of God, their ...read more
