    God works a miracle opening physical doors for Peter. The miracle you need may not be physical doors, but God can open all doors according to His will.

    Thoughts On Public Schooling: Should Christians Homeschool Their Children?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 30, 2021
     | 1,725 views

    Many an average American boy or girl will be raised up in the school rooms of public education. I would like to share some thoughts from great minds on education itself, public education, and wisdom. I'd also like to share my personal experiences in the public education system.

    “The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.” ? Martin Luther King Jr. Many ...read more

    HELP US Jonah 1:6 * For years we have sung the hymn – “Send the Light”.

    Some Aspects Of The Church From Its Beginning - The Church’s Elevation, Elation And Rapture - Part 5 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2023
     | 1,138 views

    The Church has a fantastic elation coming to it. When all believers are caught up to be with the Lord, great will be the joy. This will be the first time ALL the Church is together. The Rapture is the gathering of the Bride, Christ's redeemed Bride.

    SOME ASPECTS OF THE CHURCH FROM ITS BEGINNING - THE CHURCH’S ELEVATION, ELATION AND RAPTURE - PART 5 [1]. THE CHURCH’S ELATION/RAPTURE - INTRODUCTION Like baptism, sadly the general church teaching has missed the boat on this issue as well. Earlier in these studies I raised the matter of the ...read more

    Tolerance is a Christian virtue rooted in love, humility, and understanding. It involves accepting others with their differences in opinion, background, and level of spiritual maturity.

    TOLERANCE OF OTHERS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Romans 14:1-4 "Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarrelling over disputable matters. One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The one who eats everything must ...read more

    Just as Moses and Jonah came out of the water with a message from God. The peoples of African descent came out of the waters on slave ships and have a message from God, for the World.

    Don’t sit down and die but get up and try! 2 King 7:3 Why sit we here until we die? 2 Kings 6:24-30 and 7:1-16 24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. 25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they ...read more

    God Of Love, God Of Justice: A Future Heaven, A Future Hell

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 26, 2021
     | 1,003 views

    God's works are many in the world and of particular beauty. Yet there is also the proclivity of man toward evil. God allows for free will, which opens the doors to almost any possibility. Which explains why the world is so messed up.

    “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires ...read more

The next day, the first truck driver picked up his repaired truck. When he drove into town, he couldn’t ...read more

    Philadelphia: The Faithful Church Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 7, 2021
     | 4,423 views

    Communion is a celebration of the One who opened what we could not open ourselves – the door of Heaven. He opened it on the cross and then He walked through the door of death and He waits for us on the other side where He will call us by our name and welcome us into His Temple.

    A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

    Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021
     | 6,312 views

    I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

The Routine (1) Peter and John were still in the two by two mode -- they were going about their religious routine on their way to the temple to pray. “Ninth hour” approximately (3PM) in the afternoon.
