Antivenom Series

Contributed by E. True Neilson on Dec 15, 2014

At first glance the book of Numbers reads a bit like an operations manual. It’s got numbers of soldiers, lists of names, and a bit of repetition. Tucked between those lists and numbers are some stories of real people, dealing with real issues of faith!

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 30, 2021

John 3 introduces us to Nicodemus, a religious man who seemed sincere in wanting to know more about Jesus. He received the greatest lesson in that a real relationship with God is made possible only by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

The third chapter of John's Gospel gives us a portrait of the Lord Jesus as the Divine Teacher. He has already been presented as the Light, The Word of God, the Lamb of God, and the Messiah. Now He gives His attention to teach us how to flee the darkness of this world and come to the Light, ...read more

The Cure

So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

1. THE GRUMBLING. But the people grew impatient on the way; 5they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread!

The Rebellion in the Desert, and in Our Hearts The New Year 2024 is just a few days old, but one thing is pretty clear to me. Although we live on the juncture between two cities that each have noise and anti-fireworks ordinances, everyone agrees that the fireworks explosions heard as the old year ...read more

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 20, 2025

Looking to God's Messiah is what brings true restoration to humanity, and sadly, even an esteemed teacher of Israel (Nicodemus) missed this. Today, we either believe in what Jesus has done for us, or we deny Him, and that is the easiest choice we may ever face.
