     | 20,152 views

    What could cause us to lose our song? Imprisonment? Financial setbacks? A major accident? A serious health condition? In the moment of tragedy sorrow is inevitable but what about afterwards? Let's look at some people who sang in 'unsingable' situations.

    based on 54 ratings
     | 5,743 views

    Sometimes God allows things to get difficult so He can produce greater joy in and through and with us. Jesus knew that His Father often used tragedy to cause people to look to heaven for solutions to their problems.

    John 15:11-16 Illustration: A cynic asked an elderly believer who had endured great physical pain for 20 years, "What do you think of your God now?" The godly sufferer replied, "I think of Him more than ever." Sorrow can be the means of bringing us heart-to-heart with God. When repeated strokes ...read more

    A great tragedy of our day is that there is so much noise that people can't hear the things they desperately need to hear. God is trying to get through to them with the voice of wisdom, but they are confused by the clutter of communication; the foolish vo

    PROVERBS 1: 8-19 CHOOSING COMPANIONS [2 Corinthians 6: 14-18] How do we learn wisdom or the capacity to exhibit God's character in the many practical affairs of life?

    The Penalty Of Sin Is Death

    Contributed by James Linders on Jun 28, 2015
     | 3,774 views

    The world was created blameless, and SO was heaven. Through man's disobedience to God sin and death entered the world, and Satan led a third of the angels in heaven to rebel against God. The ONLY solution to THIS tragedy was CHRIST dying on the cross.

    Genesis 2:16-17. The LORD God said to man: “You are FREE to eat from ANY tree in the garden, but you must NOT eat from the tree of knowledge, of good and evil, for when you EAT from it, you will CERTAINLY die. You will die BEFORE the day is over.” While Adam and Eve were walking ...read more

     | 6,740 views

    These days’ people do not talk of holiness any more. We have suddenly become strangers to holiness. It should not be so. Not to talk about holiness and walk in holiness will be the worst devaluation and tragedy that can come to Christianity.

    My Month of Holiness Pastor Amos Dada PhD;P.Eng amos.dada@gmail.com I want to welcome you to this month my month of Holiness. It is my prayer that God will keep us holy.

    Psalm 33:12 says "Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD." Our blessings in this nation do not come from freedom alone, but from the God who provides and protects us. This is what our Founding Fathers knew and declared more than 200 years ago.

    Illustration- Tomorrow is the 4th of July! The 4th of July is a special day in our country. It is a day we celebrate patriotism, liberty, freedom, and what makes our nation great. Tomorrow marks 240 years since our Founding Fathers gave us our national birth certificate. It is day known as ...read more

     | 2,105 views

    This vision is about Zechariah’s nation as God’s chosen people. It also appears to operate like an allegory in the sense that like the nation of Israel, Zechariah represents Israel as a high priest with filthy rag righteousness,. We too, as individuals in every age stand guilty as charged.

    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 31 – A Disobedient Nation Becomes The Generation Of God’s Wrath: Part 31 - Jeremiah 7:27-29 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 335 views

    Prophesy to a nation that does not hear, see or obey. That was Jeremiah’s task. The nation had become the generation of His wrath, as ours are today. Judgement is coming. There would be sorrow and death coming, so God said to shave off the hair. God is not mocked – His promise will come.

    Elijah's life teaches us what it means to trust God and allow God to provide for us and lead us. He also teaches us how to respond to God in tragedy and hardship and how to grow our faith through tests.

    Video Transition: Martin Luther King Jr - Last Speech April 3rd the day before he is assassinated – he showed his faith over fear to do the will of God. Would you have done the same?

    Foolish Words, Fierce Anger, And Wise Actions (1 Samuel 25:2-44)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 16, 2024
     | 726 views

    David showed mercy to Saul, exercising grace and wisdom. However, the foolish words of a man named Nabal drove David to excessive anger. The intervention of Nabal's wife, Abigail, brought calm and reason to a situation that could have ended in tragedy.

    The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart". His character and actions reflected a genuine desire to obey and love the LORD. As a result, he was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, replacing the dynasty of Saul, whose rebellious and defiant actions resulted ...read more

    Yes, of course I am proud of the human response and the Christian response to such tragedy. But I am saddened that this is the exception and not the norm. I am saddened that among Christians, we aren’t doing this every day, for every one, earthquake or no

    So, as everyone knows, there was an earthquake in Haiti, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead, thousands and thousands of people buried alive awaiting rescue, and nearly everyone else scrambling for basics–water, food, shelter.
