Let's Make A Deal

Contributed by Craig Benner on Sep 29, 2013

Undeserved Trials –why?

Contributed by John Bartol on Jun 1, 2013

Job was bewildered by suffering that seemed undeserved. Here we see a good man suffering, not as punishment for past sins but as proof that he would not waver in the faith. Job was on the Devils hit list, and that was a compliment to his faith. Satan tri

UNDESERVED TRIALS-WHY? Why do good people sometimes suffer greatly and evil people seem to prosper? Does it pay to be good? Does it pay to serve the Lord? We sometimes say about a very fine person who is having a hard time “ He doesn't deserve this! Or, she doesn't deserve this!” ...read more

Because He Says So

Contributed by David Roth on Feb 20, 2015

God’s Inescapable Love Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

The Bible says we have enemies in this world. It is the world, the flesh and the devil. We have enemies, but who’s afraid of the big, bad world? The Bible talks about how our flesh needs to stay crucified.

Relaxation Commanded Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

The guy who says the devil never takes a vacation and so why should I, is not being super spiritual, for that is the angelic fallacy. Satan doesn't need a vacation, but we do, for we have the limitations of flesh.

First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023

I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

We're Going To Need Something A Little Stronger

Contributed by Ian Harris on Aug 23, 2024

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 8, 2025

Remember The Lord's Reputation

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Nov 11, 2005
