God Has A Way About Him Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Aug 15, 2022

Christians seem to really like to explain God. We seem to have an answer for everything, no matter what the question is; sometimes those explanations come from scripture, sometimes they come from theologians and theories, but we seem to have the answer. Do we always have to have the answer?

God has a way about Him Joshua 10:12-14 Series: Light Pollution (12) Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

Fortunetellers, Witchcraft, And Magic

Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 25, 2021

The Bible does not differentiate between “good” and “bad” magic. Scripture doesn’t distinguish whether the magic is supposed to be used for good or for bad; it’s forbidden when and if it appears from a source other than God's powers or implementations.

Over the course of your life, you probably have been exposed to discussions on white or black magic. White magic is often considered and described as “good” magic. This is in contrast to black magic, which is a power or phenomenon evoked by evil spirits. Some people believe both variants exist. ...read more

When People See Me - What Do They See?

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 16, 2024

When people see us they immediately develop impressions of us. If we are a Christian, they will begin to look for Jesus in us. When that happens, will they see Him in our actions; our decisions; and our love for others?

When People See Me – What Do They See? Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43; John 13:34-35 Good morning Strangers Rest.
