    based on 56 ratings
     | 5,341 views

    In confusing times of tragedy and loss like many Americans are facing at the present time, it is hard to make sense of it all. The Psalmist gives us encouragement to seek understanding and confidence in the "sanctuary" of God’s presence.

    The Source of My Hope Psalm 73 I heard on the news this past week that one of the outcomes of what has happened since the September 11th attack on America has been a rush on bookstores around the country. The sale of Bibles is up and that is good news. Alongside of this good news is the report that ...read more

    Staying In My Lane

     | 8,263 views

    The word of faith/prosperity gospel is an abominable heresy that makes you a little god who can decree and declare the heavens open and do whatever you want. It totally disregards the sovereignty and lordship of God.

    STAYING IN MY LANE Various Scriptures A few weeks ago, I read a post by Albert Mohler. Dr. Mohler is President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. On his updates, he posted an article entitled ‘Staying in his Lane—Joel Osteen’s Gospel of Affirmation without salvation. ...read more

     | 2,009 views

    I know… the saying is, “Mark My Words”, but this is my way of helping you see what I saw… learn what I observed, and hopefully get your marks all in the right places… working for you… not working against you.

    I know… the saying is, “Mark My Words”, but this is my way of helping you see what I saw… learn what I observed, and hopefully get your marks all in the right places… working for you… not working against you.

    Because people matter to God, they must matter to us.

    Murder in my Mouth Exodus 20:13 Rev. Brian Bill 7/29/12 A little more than a week ago our country was reminded again how murder causes mayhem and shakes us to our core. In this premeditated and raw disregard for life, a man murdered twelve people and injured dozens more. Indeed, it was a ...read more

    At another level, Jesus’ words are perplexing. How could I possibly do something on par with Jesus? After all, how could I play soccer like Lionel Messi? How could I direct a film like Steven Spielberg? Or how could I cook like Gordon Ramsey?

    Give me your full attention for a moment by allowing me to see your beautiful faces while I ask you this question. Which would you prefer? Walking with Jesus for three years like the Disciples did? Or would you prefer the Holy Spirit inside you, as believers experience today? Find John 14 with me, ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 11, 2017
     | 15,831 views

    David has faced some impossible situations head on and can certainly answer the question better than most of us, “How do I continue to have peace in times of pressure?”

    Psalm 3 - HOW CAN I EXPERIENCE PEACE IN TIMES OF PRESSURE? The door looked like a safe door and we were told to leave it locked all the time we were in our rented unit in Kiev. We don’t have to do that in Australia. When we were visited by a man from the Ukrainian Mafia and his henchmen dressed ...read more

    Lamentations speaks on behalf of those suffering as he reminds the Lord of how great is the grief experienced. He confesses that the judgement is deserved. In this, he provides a warning to those living in this present culture that they must not presume against the goodness of God.

    Grief touches each of us eventually. [1] Though we know we will experience grief as individuals, we sometimes need to be reminded that grief will consume the nation that turns from righteousness while embracing wickedness. Some might suppose that Christians will gloat when judgement at last comes ...read more

     | 7,407 views

    Though we fall again and again, it is the getting up that marks the true child of God. So, we offer our lives in surrender to Christ’s purpose. The waters of our baptism renew in us the willing spirit that says, “Yes” to our own taking up the cross.

    In the famous words of the late American news commentator Paul Harvey, Matthew 16:21-28 is “the rest of the story”. It is a continuation from Matthew 16:13-20, in which Peter acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God. Now Jesus is telling his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem to ...read more
