Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 17, 2020

Gaal’s aim was not to regain Shechem's liberty, but instead, to change their tyrant: "O that this people were under my hand! What I would do!—I would remove Abimelech from his kingly office, and rid Shechem of him, and all the country round about, and indeed remove him out of the world.

The Man Who Was Called Noah

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

Imagine that Noah lived in the United States today, and that the Lord spoke to Noah and said: "In one year, I am going to make it rain enough to cover the whole earth with water until all flesh is destroyed. But I want to save you and your family, and I am commanding you to build an ark."

Then, In a flash of lightning, God delivered the specifications for an ark. In fear and trembling, Noah took the plans and agreed to build the ark. "Remember," said the Lord, "You must complete the ark and bring everything aboard in one year." Exactly one year later, fierce ...read more

Asher: The Man Called "Happy”

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 2, 2020

Asher, the man called "Happy" has special significance; He parallels Christians. Born with problems, but God spoke the prophecy over him that “He shall be ‘Happy.’” The same prophecy has been spoken over us!

Who You Gonna Call?

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025

Today is God’s appointed moment to surrender to Christ, because sin’s essence is self and no second chance awaits after death.

A Familiar Question with Eternal Weight We all know the line from pop culture: Who you gonna call? It was written for a movie that made people laugh, but the question itself is deadly serious.

When Doubt Is Called Proof

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 27, 2025

True prophets invite testing; a claim that denial proves authenticity is a closed loop and never the biblical measure of God’s voice.

Opening – The Self-Proving Prophet Let me start with a single, startling sentence: > “One proof I have that I am a prophet of God is if you deny that it is so.” Let it sink in. It sounds clever at first, like a riddle that wins no matter how you answer. If you agree, the claim is ...read more

The Final Call proclaims God’s everlasting gospel, unmasks deception, and anchors believers in worship, resurrection hope, and patient endurance until Christ’s return.

God’s Last Word Is Gospel We all know that in life, the last word carries weight. In a courtroom, hours of argument and piles of evidence are settled with one sentence: “Not guilty” or “Guilty as charged.” At a wedding, all the flowers, music, and vows lead to that one moment: “I now pronounce ...read more

The Myth Of Balance And The Call Of Christ

Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Oct 28, 2025

True peace is not found in trying to balance life’s demands, but in surrendering every part of our lives to Christ, who brings divine order when we seek first His Kingdom.
