    The first two chapters of Ezra tells us that the exiled people returned to the promised land. But something even more important is taking place. The Lord’s people are returning to God. Now unity among the remnant group is essential.

    Musk oxen are herd animals, and groups of two or three dozen animals are sometimes led by a single female. Herds use cooperation to deal with attacks by arctic wolves. When threatened, they “circle the wagons” and array themselves with their young in the middle and their sharp horns facing outward ...read more

    Faith And Fear

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,789 views

    The opposite of faith is fear. Fear is the fruit of unbelief, and it opens the door of your life to the devil. Sixty three times in the Bible, the Lord used the phrase, “Fear not.”

    Faith opens the door of your life to God. Ephesians 2:8 says that our salvation is comes by God’s grace, through our faith. No one could honestly study the ministry of Jesus upon this earth and miss the fact that He honored people’s faith. Hebrews 13:5 says, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, ...read more

    It Begins With Me

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025

    Revival starts where one heart turns—opening closed doors, cleansing hidden sin, and welcoming the Spirit’s rain until joy returns again.

    Introduction — The Long Wait for Rain Sometimes revival doesn’t arrive with thunder. Sometimes it seeps in quietly—like rain through hard, cracked ground. For years we may live with the crust of complacency, calling it contentment. We tell ourselves that the season of power is past, that we’ve ...read more

    Now is the time that the watchman should be warning the people of impeding danger, equipping them to be double fisted, working in one hand and ready to fight in the other like Nehemiah did.

    The call of Christianity from the perspective of the hands-on generation. It takes more than a book. More than a story. You have to TOUCH HIM. From the story of Thomas.

    John 20:19-28 19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,597 views

    Walking with God means we must be willing to mix discipline with compassion in the right ratios and in the right situations. There is a time to be firm and buckle down and a time to open your heart.

    A Sane Perspective Upon Discipline and Compassion (Proverbs 19:14-15, 17-18) 1. Discipline and compassion are connected. For example, if teachers do not keep a class under control, students cannot learn and that affects their futures. 2. A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a ...read more
