     | 3,009 views

    To whom shall the LORD be compared? Who is his equal? There really is none like him! When we really see that truth, and we accept it, then we’ll be comforted in all our trouble, our sin and brokenness.

Because sometimes a question is so pointed that it leaves no possible answer but absolute truth—there’s no wiggle room, there can be no hesitation, just plain truth. In the Bible there’s lots of questions like this. Think of the powerful questions in ...read more

    Paul and the other apostles refused to obey commands from people in authority to stop preaching the gospel, for instance (Acts 5:27–29). They did, however, submit to those in authority in all matters that were not in contradiction to the will of God.

    Times were desperate in Samaria. Because of its sin and wicked king, God allowed Aram to invade and there was a great famine. People suffered. God worked a miracle through Elisha - decency from lepers, and arrogance from a court official. Serious lessons are here, for our nations.

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 24, 2022
     | 4,032 views

    To preserve the unity and influence of the church, believers must offer mutual acceptance in non-essentials of the Christian faith. They should also resist the temptation to judge one another or condemn one another for what we believe about non-essentials tenets of the faith.

You never would know that until you tasted it. That is where we get the expression, THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING! Not only ...read more
