The Watchman

Contributed by Bruce Allen on Sep 27, 2003

Just as the watchman is to primarily act as a guard by watching carefully for danger and to warn of its eventuality, so too has God appointed His messengers to watch out for spiritual dangers and warn of its coming destruction.

Live up to the promise of your name

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy: “What’s in a name? The history of the human race is in names.

God In The Book Of Daniel

Contributed by Leo Launio on Oct 16, 2003

A description of God’s activities as found in the book of Daniel.

An International Church Series

David Is Made King Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003

David becomes King by God’s plan but as a result of a series of events which are sometimes ungodly in nature. God is able to use ungoldy actions by sinful men and women to bring about his good purposes in history.

I think it’s easy to have a romantic view of the history of David as King of Israel. It’s such a great story isn’t it? The good looking shepherd boy who becomes king. The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more

Trusting God: A Way Of Life

Contributed by Aldy Duque on Nov 13, 2003

Often, we are caught not trusting God, not because we do not want to put our trust in Him, but because we tend to forget trusting him. Simply put, trusting God is not really our way of life.
