Saints In The Complaint Department Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

The God who built us this way is telling us by these negative Psalms that we have to get rid of the poison or we will have a breakdown. Our health on all levels: physical, mental, and spiritual, depends on our being able to remove the pollution from our inner life.

We are startled because we had no idea the pollution of the world had seeped into their little mind. We have the same emotion when we read the Bible, and all ...read more

Moses - God's Fellow Worker Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Mar 11, 2012

Moses was a worker for God. Hebrews 11 shows how he gave up pleasures and the palaces of Egypt for the pain and pressure of leadership. He was looking for a reward. Can we do that in Christ?
