    In the middle of intense suffering, Job proclaims that God knows and takes notice of our suffering. He also tells us that God is in control of the suffering. Lastly, we will see that God rewards endurance.

    Job has gone through some tough times. In Job, we see him enduring all four major forms of suffering that humankind faces. He faces the loss of income and security, the loss of valued possessions, the loss of loved ones and the loss of health. Either one would be enough do deal with, but Job ...read more

    1 Timothy has some strange stuff for our 21st-century ears. It says, women “will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.”

    Intro Today’s Epistle reading has some strange stuff for our 21st-century ears. It says, “Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet…. She will be saved through childbearing--if they ...read more

    A Dirty Little Secret About The Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 29, 2015
     | 7,974 views

    Churches are too often controlled by immature Christians. Though they think themselves to be mature and godly, they are destructive and harmful. Christians need to work at maturing in Christ to ensure that He is honoured through the Body of Christ.

    “Let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if ...read more

    Can Prayer Override Scientific Law? Lesson 2 Series

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Apr 25, 2017
     | 3,141 views

    God does not break laws because law is an extension of the nature and purpose of God, and is the power by which He controls His universe. Since God cannot change, then His laws do not change.

    A. CRITICS’ POINTS 1. If God overrode the mechanical ecological system of the universe, an unknown number of cause and effect “accidents” would produce chaos. 2. Miracles are only a myth to perpetuate Christianity. 3. The observers were wrong in their perception, or the writers embellished the ...read more

    Many live under the illusion that we'll be able to live the good life with the right strategy, the proper techniques, and enough discipline. The reality? James says we are not in control of our lives.

    It is so amazing that God’s timing and ways are amazing. God was in control and it was the perfect time for the princess to come to the river, to see the ark and that the baby actually cried at that moment when she opened the ark.

    Psalm 91:15, says,“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.” (AFV) As we continue our meditation based on Psalm 91, we will dwell on the aspect of God who delivers us in this study.
