    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 4

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 16, 2020
     | 1,061 views

    God has placed clues about Himself in His creation for everyone to see. As one finds a clue and responds to it, God reveals more about Himself, eventually leading the person to Himself.

    Review (1 John 1:5 NKJV) This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. The imagery or concept of God as "light" pictures God's self-revelation (cf. John 8:12; 9:5; 12:35, 36). The truth of the matter is ...read more

    Ever notice how when a man and a woman want to get married, they go to God and have a church wedding? But when they want a divorce, they go to man? They go to church to say, "I do", but they go to court to say, "I quit!" Does God accept that?

    God loves us all equally, regardless of our family background. But what does the Bible say about favoritism within families? Join us today as we explore this topic in light of Romans 2:11, which teaches us that "God does not show favoritism."

    I share my story about a time I faced pancreatic issues, marital struggles, and contemplating suicide. As with the Psalmist, I cried out to God and he heard and that began a lifetime of service.

    Early august, 2022, I had the privilege of doing a presentation in Denver at the Rocky Mountain Symposium on Addictive Disorders, the Integration of Spirituality and Psychotherapy. The dialogue it stimulated was exciting, especially with the wide range of professionals attending. One counselor ...read more

    A Gift Worth Waiting For – Part 1

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 26, 2020
     | 2,392 views

    Before Jesus Christ came on the scene, both Jew and Gentiles were in bondage to their ceremonies and rituals. “But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son…” He was a Gift worth waiting for!

    (Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 38,823 views

    Less than 200 years ago, teaching began that the Bema Judgment Seat and the Great White Throne Judgment are two separate events.

    This teaching states that at the Bema Seat, the Born-Again Christian will be judged with rewards according to their works, while the Great White Throne judgment is where those who rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior will be judicially judged and given an eternal sentence of torment. This teaching has ...read more

     | 6,708 views

    When you realize that Jesus did not cancel God’s Law, but completes it, that it continues today, and that you have to keep every part of it from the heart, there is only one thing you can do to be "good enough" for God's Kingdom and that’s count on Jesus.

    Through his humor, Bill Waterson has a way to make you think about life. He’s the author of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips; and some time ago, he drew Calvin (a little boy) hurtling down a snowy slope on a sled with his friend Hobbes (a tiger).
