Built To Last

Contributed by Gregory Newhouse on Dec 10, 2019

It does not matter if you are talking about the foundation of a physical building or the foundation upon which you have built your life, the principle is the same. The material upon which you lay your foundation will determine the strength of the structure that is built upon it.

Caleb, The Wholehearted Dreamer

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 6, 2021

Wholly following the Lord can be boiled down to three words. Trust and obey. Others in the Bible did that, but only Joshua and Caleb are immortalized for it. They are the example to follow. Any of us can wholly follow the Lord. All of us should.

Introduction: If you describe someone as a dreamer, you might mean that they spend a lot of time thinking about and planning for things that they would like to happen, but which are improbable or impractical in their own strength. Caleb was dreamer who was connected to a dream making God. God ...read more

Thank God For The Thorns

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Feb 12, 2025

How do we respond to the thorns that just won't go away? Paul gives a great example and encouragement in what to do.

Be Bold - Be Strong

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 8, 2025

As children of God we are engaged in a spiritual battle and whenever we feel weak and faint-hearted, the Lord reminds us to be strong and courageous. Jesus conquered sin, death and Satan and He has promised to give us His peace, His power and to lead us onto victory.

God spoke these words, ‘be ...read more

Hope For The Future

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 2, 2017

The doctrine of solidarity says that all humanity is under the leadership of two men: Adam and Christ. Connection with Adam leads to death. Connection with Christ leads to life.

The reading from Romans 5:12-19 reinforces the idea that those who trust Christ have hope for the future. Let me explain. Adam’s sin led to condemnation of the entire human race because his sinful nature was passed on to all of his descendants. Christ overcame that condemnation. As a result, ...read more

Bridling The Tongue

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 31, 2013
