    Where Is The God Of Elijah?

    Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 10, 2011

     | 25,559 views

    Elisha returned alone after Elijah was caught up to heaven. As he approached the Jordan River he cried out "Where is the God of Elijah?" As we face challenges and obstructions today we may ask the same question.

    Where is the God of Elijah? Elisha was called by Elijah from what appears to have been a fairly affluent home 1Ki 19:19. He followed Elijah faithfully and humbly to the last. He had a firsthand view of Elijah’s later miracles and no doubt he heard graphic descriptions of the earlier ones. ...read more

    God calls us to face Him with the prospect of saving the lost in prayer.

    The Horror Of Violence Series

    Jesus was, in fact, nonviolent, even when he used force to expel the merchants who desecrated the Temple. Violence is incompatible with human development.

    Feast of Dedication of St. John Lateran November 9, 2009 Let’s confront a misconception about today’s Gospel, and that has to do with Jesus and violence. What Jesus did to the moneychangers and pigeon salesmen who had coopted the Court of the Gentiles was to clean them out. He used force to ...read more

    God’s Purpose In Your Barrenness

    Contributed by Margaret Minnicks on Jun 3, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 29,500 views

    God had an ultimate purpose for the barrenness of biblical women such as Hannah in the Old Testament and Elizabeth in the New Testament.

    Usually when we think about Hannah, no doubt we think about her prayer for a son. Today, let’s go deeper into the story and see that Hannah’s barrenness served a purpose. When we speak of women being barren in the Bible, it is usually in reference to a woman being childless. However, the word ...read more
