Swallowed Up

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 11, 2013

Any time you run from God, you never go “up"; you always go “down.” God sometimes allows us to face frightening circumstances so that we will learn to trust and obey Him. It’s always best to obey the Lord right away - then we won’t be “swallowed up.”

Opening illustration: Being shocked by electricity can be very dangerous. Just ask professional golf legend Lee Trevino. He was struck by lightning while sitting under a tree during a tournament several years ago. He said, “It bolted my arms and legs out stiff, jerked me off the ...read more

Jonah Paid The Price Series

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 12, 2013

God had instructed Jonah, God had spoken to Jonah, I believe to go to a certain place to preach the gospel, but the bible say’s that Jonah turned to a different direction in order to disobey or runaway from God.

I believe he hadn’t read the scripture written by David, it says: even if I make my bed in Hell, thou are there “AMEN”. I have come to realize in life that no one can hide from God, if God doesn’t speak to you now, it doesn’t mean that you have succeeded in hiding ...read more
