    Satan’s attempts to destroy God’s People are just as they were in the days when Peter was being sifted, but Jesus limits Satan’s sifting power.

    Living with the Sifter By Pastor Jim May Luke 22:31-36 31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 33 And he said unto ...read more

    Slightly sarcastic view of "the good old days". Like the scripture, this reminds people to live in the present, and not long for so-called better days of the past.

    Ecclesiastes 7:10 – The Good Old Days? Oh Please! Tonight, instead of looking at a major topic in Ecclesiastes, I am going to look at one verse. It’s a verse that speaks to all of us, no matter how old we are. 7:10. This verse is funny because it so much speaks to who we are, and what we ...read more
