Evil On All Sides Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 10, 2021

Evil is like a series of bombs scattered around our lives. If we are to diffuse them, it helps to understand them.

Cleansed Or Healed?

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Oct 9, 2022

do we show ingratitude as the nine cleansed lepers or gratitude as the Samaritan?

Spiritual Preparation Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 29, 2022

Ever since Joshua was leading God’s people had responded by faith and now, they must prepare for what God will do next. The river at flood stage is behind them and the fortified city before them. No turning back.

What do you expect to see after a great victory? In winning a war you expect to see a whole nation in jubilant celebration. There will be parades maybe even a ticker-tape parade and much fanfare.

The Day The Sun Stood Still Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 1, 2022

Joshua had the faith to ask God that the sun would stand still. Joshua is asking God to do the impossible. It is a challenge for us to believe God for something so big that it will not happen without a miracle.

Have you acted impulsively in a way that led you to make a huge blunder? Have you had some ups and downs recently? Do you need a miracle to get out of an impossible situation? For Joshua all of the above was true. That is part of why Joshua asked God that the sun would stand still. Joshua believed ...read more

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 24, 2021

I was raised in a Catholic household, and growing up I considered the possibility of a God. But once into school, studying science and so on, I rejected the God hypothesis as a backward remnant of a bygone era.

Are There Churches That Practices Witchcraft?

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Sep 4, 2020

However, when Christianity is practiced without the power of the Holy Spirit, she loses her protection and falls in the danger of practicing the art of witchcraft to stay useful to society

Recent events around the world may be pointing to the truth of our civilization entering into a new phase along the path of her disastrous history on this beautiful planet earth. With the horizon getting darker daily all over the earth, and the day filled with anxiety and shadows of fear in what ...read more

Faith To Follow

Contributed by John Dobbs on Oct 2, 2020

A Vision Of World Peace Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 26, 2022

Isaiah has a vision of peace. This vision came from God. What Isaiah gives us here is totally different from "visualizing peace". We need to see what Isaiah saw. The vision of peace the prophet saw and foretold.

The subject of peace has universal interest. There are international conferences in process working toward world peace. Why is there such an interest in world peace? It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. You may have seen the bumper sticker, “Visualize World Peace.” ...read more
