    Our past cannot be altered. It is forever sealed. All we can do is work to make a better future. Plod on forward. Don't look back and don't veer to the left or to the right

    Traveling on in the Untrod Paths Joshua 3:1-5 1 ¶ And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over. 2 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the ...read more

    Abraham Lincoln said, "My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." Jacob knew this feeling so well. Let’s examine it together!

    All of us at some time or another struggle with decision(s). The difficult part is when we struggle with ourselves and greater still with God! Tug of war is what it feels like. On one hand God says...and we respond..O.K. but! That’s where the trouble begins and before we know it we are wrestling ...read more

    It's Not That Complex!

    We often have a tendency to mask our failure to love others by referring to it as a “complex issue”. It’s not true. Jesus shows us how utterly simple the issue actually is.

    “It’s A LONG STORY; A COMPLEX ISSUE; A GRAY AREA”. You have heard statements like this haven’t you? Perhaps you used them yourself. Phrases like this are often used as a way to bring an end to a discussion. More often then not, those who say them are trying to bring an end to a ...read more

     | 18,787 views

    Possibly the greatest sin of the church in America in this generation is the failure to be grateful for the blessings that we have. The Scripture commands us to have thankful hearts, but it is the Spirit that gives us the perspective whereby we experience

    From the Desk of Pastor Toby Powers Truth Baptist Church Bremen, GA June 11, 2006 The Sin of Thanklessness 1 Thess 5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Rom 1:21-22 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither ...read more

    . There is hardly a more precise picture of the work of Christ on the cross, than is found here in this body of scripture. We can best glean the truths from these verses by focusing on the prisoners’ failure, their friend, and their future.

    The Baker, Butler and the Peace Maker Text: Gen. 40 Introduction: Joseph had been rejected by his brothers, sold into slavery in Egypt, falsely accused and sentence to the prison. It was while in prison that Joseph meets two prisoners of the Pharaoh. Joseph was assigned to them and during their ...read more

    The Tower Of Babel

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 14, 2014
     | 18,110 views

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of the breakdown of fellowship, of failure in communication, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements.

     | 7,200 views

    When great men stick to their plan that is not the failure of God to act on behalf of His children against the evildoers to right the wrongs to save them as promised through His mercy and His salvation plan.

    DEAFENING BLOW by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (December 5, 2015) “Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity...The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way...I have been young, and now am old; yet ...read more

    The Jews make a case for failure on God’s part to fulfill His promises. This is the first step toward Paul's argument concerning the righteousness of God in calling the Gentiles into the blessing of salvation.

    (31) Israel Identified Romans 9:6-13 6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” 8 That is, those who are the children of the ...read more
