God Is Not A Hanyman

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 23, 2010

Handymen have many unfinished jobs which take money and time by a professional to fix. In contrast God, who begins the work in us, will bring it to completion. There is no project to big for God.

I can relate to people who are handy-men. And I fully understand the motivations that drive a handyman • Certainly there is the motivation to save money. Why pay someone when you can do the job yourself? • Then there is also the satisfaction which comes when you step back from your ...read more

Blood Is Thicker Than Water

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Mar 25, 2009

God’s first and last thought is the welfare of his children! The Provision of the Cross is an act of covenant. It is not a half-job effort to fix things. It is a plan that would never turn back!

At some point or another you may have used this familiar phrase - Blood is thicker than water. The context in which we use it is to describe the meaning that blood-related families are more important than anyone else.

How To Spread The Good News Of The Gospel

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 17, 2015

We are to be good shepherds, servant leaders whose job description includes leading others to God. God empowers us as leaders and as followers to build up, to influence and to persuade others.

When we spread the good news of the Gospel, we can expect to face opposition. The apostle Paul was no exception. He boldly preached the Gospel to the Thessalonians in spite of suffering and mistreatment. First Thessalonians 2:1-8 is a model for all Christians to follow, especially when they are ...read more

Be Your Own Boss!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

Memorial Service For Suicide Victim

Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 27, 2020

One of the questions that Job asked was this, “if a man dies will he live again?” There is nothing that will push a person more to ask a question like that than when they are confronted by trouble.

Eldership - 1 Peter 5:1 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 7, 2025

Different denominations have different traditions about what the elders' job description should be. But there shouldn't be differing traditions. Peter makes it very clear.

Churches are to be elder-led. The term elder refers to a position of authority and leadership, but elders should work with congregations in major decisions like a husband with his wife. Elders should be nominated by the people and appointed by the other elders. The elder takes over the roles of the ...read more

Third Rail Of Politics Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024

Let's talk about politics. There are three reasons most pastors and churches don't talk about politics - Money, Job Security, Community influence.

There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex at the dinner table” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your ...read more

Turuan Ang Iyong Anak Sa Paraan Ng Diyos

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 22, 2020

Ang banal na kasanayan ni Job ay sumasalamin sa pangangalaga ng kanyang mga anak. Sa tuwing mag-aartista ang kanyang mga anak, laging nandoon siya upang mag-alay. (Job 1: 4-5). Gaano karaming mga ama ang talagang nag-iisip tungkol sa mga bunga ng mga kasalanan ng kanilang mga anak?

Turuan ang IYONG ANAK SA PARAAN NG DIYOS Job 1: 4 - 5 " At ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagsiyaon at nagsipagdaos ng kapistahan sa bahay ng bawa't isa sa kanikaniyang kaarawan; at sila'y nangagsugo, at ipinatawag ang kanilang tatlong kapatid na babae upang magsikain at magsiinom na ...read more

How To Be A Godly Dad

Contributed by Kenneth Hampton on Jul 6, 2005

The most important person in every family in making certain of its spiritual security is both mom and dad, but dads have even more of an important job given that they are the family spiritual heads.

A. Fathers are the spiritual head of the family. Mat 10:25 CEV (25) It is enough for disciples to be like their teacher and for slaves to be like their master. If people call the head of the family Satan, what will they say about the rest of the family? A little food for thought: People view the ...read more

The Lord Is Refining Fire Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 22, 2007

Like Job they complain about howe God is treating them, but they get more than they bargained for. Their behaviour doesn’t stand up before the gaze of God’s righteousness.

I love courtroom dramas especially the ones written by John Grisham: The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker, Runaway Jury. Then there are the TV shows like Perry Mason, JAG, Judging Amy, Law and Order and so forth. It’s great to see these great legal minds in a battle of wits trying to prove their case. ...read more
