    Jesus kingdom is not from this world but he taught us to respect the ones in power. In history God uses His people to influence and free His people. As Christians we must fight for the right by all means necessary, spiritually and politically.

    Religion and Politics: We must talk about them! Kelly Durant Nov. 2016 John 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” 2. Why is ...read more

    "Warnings & Consequences Of A Plumb Line”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jul 16, 2024
     | 904 views

    The O.T. Lesson is about God's "plumb line" and His judgments when His commandments are not followed. Herod had a "moral" problem, yet like listening to John the Baptist but would not change his behavior. the pressures of life can challenge our own "core" values.

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 43 – Princes Were Abused And Young Men Forced Into Harsh Servitude By Ruthless Babylon - Lamentations 5:12-13 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2025
     | 193 views

    The description of horrible conditions continues, this time with degrading action against the princes, and terrible forced labour upon the young men. A conquering army often forces humiliation on the defeated people and treats them terribly. Symptomatic of a sinful world.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 43 – PRINCES WERE ABUSED AND YOUNG MEN FORCED INTO HARSH SERVITUDE BY RUTHLESS BABYLON - Lamentations 5:12-13 The subject matter of Lamentations is not pleasant in most of its content, which is probably why it is rarely preached on, or taught. Here in chapter 5 we ...read more

    From the Gadarine Demoniac we learn how much Jesus cared about broken people by observing his attitude and his actions. We can also learn what our own responsibilities are towards these same downtrodden folk.
