    Why Do Bad Things Happen To Good People?

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on May 17, 2023
     | 2,592 views

    Is it true that the good die young? When the good person dies young, God has a better purpose for that person. The wicked do not realize that God may extend their lives on earth as a means for them to repent.

    When Bad Things Happen to Good People Isaiah 57:1-3 When I was young, I remember hearing a song by Billy Joel titled “Only the Good Die Young.” This song makes the statement that the Catholic girls “start much to late.” He is encouraging them to give up their virginity because “only the good die ...read more

    God was about to ask Jonah to do something he never would have dreamed that God would want him to do. God asked him to actually “care” about these people and to then go and preach the gospel to try and turn the city of Ninevah in the right direction. Bu

    Man on the Run Jonah 1:4-17 I can still see the scene from the movie Titanic where the orchestra is brought out on deck to play music-all of this happening while the sip is sinking.

    If you take a poll you’ll find that most people think of callings and vocations solely in the context of consecrated religious lives, such as pastors, teachers, missionaries and the like. And that’s tragic, because all people are called by their

    What Did God Call You For? (I Pet 2:20) Does God really call people to serve Him in particular ways? Who does God call, and how do they know? Could God be calling me to serve Him? Anybody receiving the Gospel’s message will at least wonder about these things; and it’s natural to bring them to ...read more

    The Pharisees Confront Jesus: What Does It Mean To Be A Hypocrite? An Issue Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,536 views

    The Pharisees today are often regarded as hypocrites, mean, nasty, people who killed Jesus, and it’s true that they plotted against Jesus. But in general these were not bad people. These were religious leaders trying to help the people live according to God’s ways.

    A lot of the scriptures that we look at, I feel like we get to understand another piece of the puzzle about who Jesus really is. It’s like we dive into a moment in history and we get to look over the shoulder of Jesus and see what he does, and why he does it, and we’re amazed. We want to live like ...read more
