How To Change Your Character Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 14, 2005

We as humans see things we don’t like in ourselves - then just decide to change. But we are who we are and cannot change - unless God does the transformation. We also hear how God uses this to turn what the enemy means for harm into good.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could plan the day of our departure? Just think about it - you could accomplish the things that are really important, pass on vital information to those you will leave behind, then set your sights on heaven and away you go. I remember when I was growing up the father of ...read more

"Waiting For The Lord"

Contributed by Alan Hughes on Oct 7, 2004

He will exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you will see it. 35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a green ...read more

Complaining

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 10, 2004

More than once, Israel in her pride tempted God in the wilderness and He had to punish them (Deut. 6:16). But like a stubborn child, the Jews didn’t seem to learn their lesson. Instead of pleasing the Lord who had done so much for them, they provoked Him

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The Jews had a long record of complaining against the Lord and their leaders. Their murmuring began on the night of the Exodus when they were sure Pharaoh’s Army was going to kill them (Ex. 14:10-14). As Israel entered the wilderness of Shur, they complained because ...read more

The 2nd Most Misunderstood Word (Peace)

Contributed by Gordan Runyan on Feb 12, 2002

This old priestly benediction gives a definition of "peace" that puts our typical version of that concept to shame.
