Wrong About Religion

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 30, 2024

If we focus on our tenets to the exclusion of focusing on the will of the Lord, we are in danger of drifting into Pharisaical Religion. If we allow this to happen, we will displease the Lord and oppose Him.

What To Do When Your Culture Is Destroying Itself

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 10, 2024

Settle Down Where I Have Placed You!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 2, 2025

Many of God's people are infected with a spirit of restlessness. We do well to take to heart the message God sent to Jews living in Babylonian captivity to settle down where He placed them.

“These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the ...read more
