I Won't Complain Any More!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 26, 2020

The whining of the people of Israel following God's deliverance from slavery is too often echoed among the churches of this day. Grumbling is a serious sin against God, inviting His divine judgement.

“The people complained in the hearing of the LORD about their misfortunes, and when the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire died ...read more

Abomination - The Hidden Infection

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 3, 2002

There is a hidden infection out there, resting under the surface, waiting to erupt into the world system. Do you know what it is and more importantly, are you ready? Learn about end times prophecy and the Rapture of the church.

Last week we talked about a sign – something to show us that the end is near. But instead Jesus gave only vague references to increasing tension, increasing aggression, and decreasing love and devotion to God. Mostly He told us not to be alarmed but to keep on doing what we’re supposed to do – tell ...read more

Searching For Wisdom

Contributed by James May on Jan 29, 2006

Where is wisdom found? Are we mining for it? It can’t be found where the riches of the world are found, in the earth. It can only be found in fearing God.

Although we are far removed by time and space from Mt. Sinai a look back at the shadow of Jesus found there will serve as a great blessing for us.
