Reverse - Pt. 3 Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Mar 30, 2011

Taken down. Shoulders on the mat. No way of escape seems available. Could it be that God is setting up reverse instead?

Waiting On God

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 14, 2010

Waiting on God is one of the most difficult things to do. Apparently the whole life secret lies in it. What does waiting on the Lord include? Let me put it in three brief exhortations. Keep near Him; keep still; expect.

Illustration: Themistocles, who led the Greeks in the famous naval battle of Salamis, for some reason unknown to his troops, delayed the engagement. It was expected that he would avail himself of the early morning hours; and when what seemed the golden opportunity had gone in inactivity, there were ...read more

No Yachting In Heaven (Revelation 21:1-6)

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 14, 2007

For the believing man or woman, is not just some test, wherein if we pass we get to escape from this life into a better life. Rather it is a war in which we have been ordere...

Heaven: what is it, where is it, and are you in a hurry to get there? These are important questions, I believe, because I sense that there is a fair degree of confusion surrounding the Biblical concept of Heaven. Mind you, my daughter, Imogen, worked it all out some years ago, when my dad died. ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Aggressive Guest) # 21

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022

Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

It is not hard for any of us to imagine how this took place in Luke 14:1. The Bible says He went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees. WHY DID HE GO THERE? Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

"dear God, Please Give Me..."

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jul 31, 2023

If God offered to give you whatever you wanted, what would you ask for? Solomon teaches us how to ask for true riches.

I found a website that published letters children addressed to God. As you can imagine, the letters are quite humorous. One girl wrote: “Dear God. Are you really invisible or it that just a trick?” Another child observed: “Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all of everybody in the ...read more

You Become What You Believe

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Sep 27, 2003

"Change is good" but "transformation" is what God is looking for. Think the world and that is what you will become. If you have no plan for your life, Satan does!

"A Light That Shatters The Darkness”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 17, 2023

I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass window of Jesus laughing. Did He laugh when Jonah landed on the beach smelling like whale breath? When the wedding party tasted the best wine ever, did He smile? In his discussion with a Canaanite woman is He smiling through the words?

In Jesus Holy Name August 20, 2023 Text: Matthew 15:28/Isaiah 9:1b-2 Pentecost XV - Redeemer “A Light That Shatters the Darkness” I have seen many beautiful stained glass windows displaying various aspects of the life of Jesus. But I don’t think I have ever seen a stained glass ...read more

Thankfulness Makes You Full Inside

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Nov 14, 2019

We can only get so far towards becoming new by trying hard or getting educated. The real power comes from inside, a changed heart, and thankfulness is a key to a changed heart.

There was a time when I thought that if we wanted to change our lives, to start good habits, or to break bad habits, all we had to do was decide to do it. We just had to choose. I come from a family with a lot of will power. But the more I have had to wrestle with my own weaknesses, the more I ...read more
