From The Street Where You Live To The Faraway Towns

Contributed by Mary Erickson on Feb 8, 2021

Jesus' ministry pulls him in two directions: very close to the person in need and outwards to encounter all people. Our first instinct is to keep Jesus solely for ourselves. But as his divine grace lifts us up, he calls us outward into our lives of purpose

Mary Erickson Mark 1:29-39 From the Street Where You Live to the Faraway Towns Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord.

If The Foundations Are Destroyed, What Can The Righteous Do?

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 15, 2021

David saw the moral foundations of his country cracking and he was very upset, as we are. His song to God revealed three different concepts that reassure believers of God's loving character and faithfulness, in the face of seeming contradictions.

IF THE FOUNDATIONS ARE DESTROYED Ps. 11:3 INTRODUCTION A. MOVIE: “Force 10 From Navarone” 1. In the movie, “Force 10 from Navarone,” the good guys (led by Harrison Ford and Robert Shaw) have to blow up a bridge in Yugoslavia that is vital to the Nazis.

Moses is a picture of what "justice" is, in a true OT sense.

If I asked most of you to describe your spouse, or your boss, or a friend, you'd probably give me a list of their qualities. They're funny. Smart. Organized. Stubborn. Easy going. That's how we normally think about people-- with adjectives. But a few of you, maybe, would lean ...read more

The Christian Response To Injustice Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Christians are not unique in their opposition to injustice, but we find their uniqueness as we examine the response they are to make to unjust acts against them, and the reasons for making this response

Injustice is an evil that has been so universally despised that one need not depend on Christian authors alone to attack it. Cambyses, the king of ancient Persia, had a keen sense of justice. When he discovered that a close friend was taking advantage of his secure relationship to him by selling ...read more

Did God Do Wrong To Kill All The Canaanites?

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 17, 2024

Numerous times during my career, unbelievers have used God's judging the Canaanites as an excuse not to believe in God. They insinuate that God did evil in executing the people, particularly the children. Let's correct the view; God did the just thing!
