    Unstrained Mercy

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 9, 2011
     | 3,168 views

    We’ve seen a lot about pardons in the news lately, haven’t we. Why did former President Clinton pardon Marc Rich? The “fugitive financier” is the nicely alliterative phrase that all the commentators use - I bet the journalist who coined the phrase is wishing he - or she - ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 17 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
     | 5,334 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 17 1. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] ...read more

    In running the race set before us- we must be aware of dangerous trip wires that will keep us from moving forward in our quest for godliness.

    The Tortoise and the Hare While the real text that we’re going to deal with begins in Hebrews 12:12—it is so important to see the context of this chapter. It extends back a few chapters. Hebrews has a double-edged theme. On one hand the author is proclaiming that Christ is so much ...read more

    Jesus endured much for our sake... lest we NEVER forget!

    Luke 22:63-71 [ESV] 63Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking him as they beat him. 64They also blindfolded him and kept asking him, "Prophesy!

    When it comes to money, most think about getting it. Let us see the other side of money, giving it as the Scriptures teach us.

    Money Matters. Do we believe that Money Matters to God? Did you realize that you will find about 800 Scriptures that deal with money in the Bible?
