Occupancy Of The Land Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 19, 2023

The Hebrew word shaphat has more of the idea of a heroic leader, ruler, saviour, deliverer. “The Hebrew word Shophetim means to put right, and to rule. The ...read more

Encouragement Series

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 18, 2011

I suspect all of us can identify a Barnabas or two in our past who gave us a second chance. Maybe it was a parent or a relative or a teacher or a church leader or a close friend. Christianity means second chances.

God wants to come to His world, but He wants to come to it through man. This is the mystery of our existence. He wants to come to this world through you. Proverbs 15:23 says, “A man has joy by an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word.” I enjoyed a Charles Schulz cartoon ...read more
