For example, there was a season when certain denominations worked with ...read more

Closer Than A Friend Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Nov 23, 2021

Stop The Killing Spree!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 12, 2017

Killing sprees shock us with their cruelty to human life. Yet, how often do we engage in our own killing sprees, mentally murdering those with whom we are angry. Jesus calls us to stop it, and to bend over backwards to make things right with others.

Matthew 5:21-26 Stop the Killing Spree! William Boyette, suspected of killing four women in two states, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff at a Georgia motel. Police arrested Mary Rice, his accomplice. As appalling as their little Bonnie and Clyde killing ...read more

Thank The Lord Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jan 2, 2021

David’s life was a mixture of good and evil, mixed with noble deeds, high aspirations, great accomplishments, and stained with terrible and grave sins of Adultery and Murder. However, he was known as a man of righteousness because he never became an unthankful man for what God has done to him.

Psalm 103:1-5, Praise the Lord or Thank you, Lord David’s life was a mixture of good and evil, mixed with noble deeds, high aspirations, great accomplishments, and stained with terrible and grave sins of Adultery and Murder. “An unlimited power leads a person to an ungrateful life and ...read more

"They Have Taken Him” Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 12, 2020

Through her tears she saw angels asking her “why are you crying?” What kind of idiot question is that? “The so-and-so’s who murdered Him now have stolen His body and I don’t know where He is.”

Failure Is Impossible.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 12, 2020

Nehemiah chapter 6, is all about threats and deception coming from the enemies of God. 42,360 Jews came back to Jerusalem to make a difference. They didn’t come back to be defeated! You see, these enemies did their best to get Nehemiah off track. If not murdered in cold blood.

Failure Is Impossible. Nehemiah 6:16NIV Failure is impossible! These were the words spoken by Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906), known for her immovable stance on women’s rights in the US.

"Reliving The Days Of Noah."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jul 18, 2022

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2025

With Israel’s defeat, all means were used against them in the name of hate. Ambushes and murder from Edom was despicable. God had not overlooked it. The end of Chapter 4 has Edom in God’s sights so the evil done to Israel will come hard on their own heads.
