A Plea For Action Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Oct 9, 2022

his Psalm is a prayer in which God’s inaction confounds the Psalmist against the wicked. Therefore, he beseeches God to Arise (v. 12) and lifts up his hand. Hence we could call this psalm A Plea For Action. There are many lessons to be learned from it:

I. WHEN GOD SEEMS FAR AWAY (v. 1) A. There are times in the life of the godliest Christians during which God seems afar off and as if He is hiding. 1. A Christian should not doubt his salvation b/c he goes through such times. 2. This will be distressing for Christians. It is not troubling that we ...read more

Salvation - In Three Tenses

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 16, 2024

Salvation is to be experienced by us in three tenses- past, present and future. We have been saved from the penalty of sin. Now we must be saved from the power of sin. Then finally, we will be saved from the very presence of sin.

It is a good saying that half-truth is even more dangerous than a lie. A lie we can detect at some point of time in the future. But if we believe a half truth, there is a possibility that we would never come to the full truth. Gospel is the gospel of God. It doesn’t need any human touch on it. It ...read more

I Am Faithful Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 25, 2021

Although the Psalmist Ethan finds no resolution to the tension between God’s promise and God’s delay in fulfilling His promises in Psalm 89, we know that God DID indeed fulfill His promise to David don’t we? The line of David did not end in the exile.

I make promises all the time … and I always intend on keeping them every time I make them. But you know what? I don’t always keep them … not all of them … try as hard as I might. I’m going to let you down sometimes … disappoint you .. if I haven’t already. The one promise that I will always ...read more

Ok God, What Do You Want From Me?

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 20, 2025

Religion can sometimes be seen as a system of laws or rules designed to please God, but that is not what God wants. God wants a loving relationship with His Children, and that we follow His commands because we Love Him! Micah 6 and Galatians 5 help us to see the difference between Love and Legalism.

Good Morning. This morning, we have 2 excellent lessons intended to guide God’s people back on track from bad mindsets. Micah 6 begins in a heavenly courtroom. All of creation, the mountains and hills, are poetically called in as a jury to witnesses God’s case against His people. Israel has lost ...read more

God's Lavish Mercy

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 21, 2023

Salvation through Jesus is for all people. God is fair and just in how He works to reach the lost.

GOD IS FAIR AND JUST! THAT IS HARD FOR MANY TO GRASP. WE LIVE WITHIN THE SYSTEM OF PUNATIVE LAW: YOU GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. YET, THE SYSTEM OF GRACE IS FOREIGN TO US: GOD DEALS WITH US ACCORDING TO WHO HE IS, NOT ACCORDING TO WHO WE ARE. GOD EXPLAINED HIS GRACE AND COMPASSION TO MOSES IN EXODUS ...read more

No Revenge Needed, God Will Fight For You. Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Feb 22, 2024

As humans, it's natural to feel a desire for revenge when wronged or mistreated.

As Christians, we are called to a higher standard. The Bible teaches us to trust in God's justice and vengeance, rather than taking matters into our own hands. In Romans 12:19, Paul writes, "Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written: ...read more

Strait And Narrow Minded

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 16, 2023

The narrow gate is not quite as attractive as the wide one, because you have to leave a lot of old baggage at the door. No carry-ons are allowed.

I was a pastor in New Jersey when the General Assembly gave our Presbytery a couple of pretty controversial amendments to consider. There were two main issues. The first was the elimination of the “fidelity and chastity” language from our ordination standards. The second one was the lordship of ...read more

Whether in a family or in society, there must be room for gracious gift, not just equal value exchange, even for the sake of justice.

January 10, 2010 Caritas in Veritate We can only imagine the look that poor Hannah gave Elkanah after he said “why are you crying. Am I not worth more to you than ten sons?” In Israel, as in many cultures today, having a son is economic security in old age. The sons had ...read more
