Encouragement And Consolation, But Not Comfort Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2013

God gives us abundant consolations in our ministry, but does not grant us the privilege to be comfortable.

The God of Consolation Monday of Tenth Week in Course 2013 St. Paul seems almost obsessed in today’s reading with the word paraklesis. In seven verses he uses some form of the word at least nine times. Paul is certainly trying to tell the Corinthians, and us, something ...read more

Should We Pray For God To Punish Our Enemies? Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jan 21, 2024

May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. (Ps. 69:28)

In Psalm 35:1-6, David asks God to contend with those who contend with him. However, we notice a shift in Psalm 35:7-10, where David seeks vindication, not vengeance. He entrusts his cause to the Lord, trusting in His justice. In Matthew 5:43-48, He commands us to love and pray for our enemies, ...read more

The Heart Of Christmas: God’s Love Revealed

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 12, 2024

One of the most beautiful aspects of Christmas is the humility of Jesus’ birth. Born in a manger, He came not as a conquering king but as a servant.

Christmas is the celebration of the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ. At the heart of the Christmas story is the profound truth of God’s love for humanity. John 3:16 declares, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have ...read more

Chameleon Christianity Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Mar 1, 2012

Deborah The Delightful Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

The record of Deborah is in the Bible because God inspired it to be there. It was real history, and God ordained history. It is there for an example of how God uses women as well as men in the highest roles of leadership.

I have enjoyed war stories and war heroes since I was a small boy watching the news on the movies screen in the local theater. I never realized, however, that not all of the heroes were men. I heard of Joan of Arc when I got into the upper grades of school, but I never had the concept of the ...read more
