Contributed by Jimmy Gear on May 15, 2001

The Bible has much to say about the deadly sin of greed.

False Start Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Feb 13, 2025

Moses had not wanted this assignment, but after some convincing, he had gone before Pharaoh and thrown down the gauntlet, but instead of crumbling, Pharaoh had taken up the challenge and thrown the first punch, apparently unafraid of the insignificant shepherd and his desert God.

February 15, 2025 Last week, when the Children of Israel were told that Yahweh had seen their misery and was concerned about them: “They believed and bowed down and worshiped” It was a great 1st start. Now all Moses and Aaron had to do was convince Pharaoh. I am not sure what they were ...read more

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Feb 25, 2013

Depression sometimes hits us, but we often don't know how to handle it or get out of it. In fact, we feel guilty for even being depressed. But these psalms give us some clues on what to do when we are down.

The book of Psalms is actually made up of four books. Psalm 41 ends Book One, which is made up almost entirely of David’s psalms. The final psalms of each book are similar in that they offer a doxology of praise to God. As such they are called “seam” psalms because they piece ...read more
