The Eternal Desire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

We have lost this idea of reverence for the name of God, and the result is, God's name is not very special, but is common. It is thrown around like Tom, Dick, and Harry. It is so common that it is nearly impossible to feel any reverence when people use His name.

Christ was the event toward which the whole history of the Old Testament moved. Without the Old Testament we cannot know what it was that He fulfilled, and, therefore, the Old Testament is a vital part of the Christian faith.

Misunderstanding is a part of life, and much of the laughter of life is due to it. One little guy surprised his whole family one evening at the supper table by asking which virgin was Jesus' mother?

What It Means To Repent

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 27, 2020

Does God Make Good All Bad Life Experiences? A Deep Exegesis Of Romans 8:28.

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 19, 2019

The Perversion Scheme Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Nov 18, 2021

Satan realizes that if he takes something that God created for good, and twists it until it is completely unrecognizable, and even causes it to look like something evil, that he can cheat us out of what God wanted us to have.

The devil is not a creator. He is very good at perverting things, but he never creates new material. He can only use God’s material. - Daniel Heimbach(1) I want to begin by reminding us how the Bible says that we are at war daily with Satan and his demons (Eph 6:11-12).

A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022

When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

The Merciful And Majestic Goodness Of God
