The Anointing Of God Comes From The River Of Life

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 22, 2020

The daily Anointing of God flows from the River of Life directly from His Throne

Nature, Wives, Heaven, Hell In The Koran Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 28, 2015

How vastly different is the Bible narrative from the Koran. Yet Muhammad and his "angel" and 1 billion people on the planet today want us to believe that the Prophet of Mecca/Medina has merely updated God's revelation. See for yourself.

Lesson 32, Talking Ants, Messenger Birds, and Frail Spiders. Today, suras 25-29 Sura 25 is about "the discriminator," a special gift given to Muhammad, to rightly discern what is true and what is not. Unfortunately his first act of discrimination in this chapter is to deny that the God of ...read more

Mother Nature's Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The Bible says that the laws of nature are not eternal, but that they began in time, and they were put into operation by the Word of God. God is the Father of all nature, and He is the Father of all the wisdom and order that men attribute to nature.

The Bible consistently represents God as male. This is true for all 3 Persons of the Trinity. When the Son became flesh He became a man. The Holy Spirit is always called He. The male was also the first to be created. All of this in no way means that the Bible depreciates the female, for we will ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 15, 2024

Joshua 4 has the story of how Israel crossed the Jordan River and entered the Promised Land. The LORD told Joshua to make two memorials, from two different batches of stones. There's more in the chapter, too.

This was true for Israel as well: the people in this story lived through something ...read more

The river in Ezekiel's vision brought life wherever it went, it even brought it to the lowest, deadest place on earth the Dead Sea. In like manner God wants to use us to bring the living water of the Holy Spirit to the lowest, most lost people on earth.

Two Dogs Inside Of Us

Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 15, 2016

What's wrong with me? I want to serve God, but, instead, I sin! I want to Live in the Spirit, but, instead, I'm still living in The Power of my Flesh! Maybe it's because i have Two Dogs living inside of me! The story of the two dogs. (Our Two Natures)

Shortly after I first became a Christian, I was told of this story of The Two Dogs, and it made a lot of sense. It helped me to understand why I was, the way that I was, and it helped me to understand what I needed to do, to be better than I had been. Every believer has a Dual Nature. ...read more
