     | 37,728 views

    ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE ... THERE ARE STATEMENTS DESIGNED TO MAKE US AWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER. One such warning is in Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death."

    ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE ... THERE ARE STATEMENTS DESIGNED TO MAKE US AWARE OF POTENTIAL DANGER.

    An Outline For "What Makes A Good Father?” Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 30, 2023
     | 1,553 views

    Scripture describes many fathers, some good and many that weren't. There is no guarantee any man will be a good father but if he follows the Lord and the Word, he'll have a better chance than those men who don't.

    Introduction: With few exceptions, every man has the opportunity and privilege of becoming a father. Whether a man becomes a good father or a bad one, really, depends on him and several choices he makes. No man will ever be a perfect father but if he follows the Bible’s guidance, he’ll have a ...read more

    See Jesus Defeat The Devil

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022
     | 2,290 views

    Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

    David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David.
