Some people think that America may have never known “President” George Washington had he had a desire to be King George I. George Washington is our nation’s first military hero because he ...read more

Seeing Yourself Through His Eyes Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Feb 14, 2020

So many of us for various reasons when we look at ourselves the image is distorted, but when we see ourselves through the eyes of the Father's love (when we make our Maker our mirror) that distortion is driven away.

How Will You Finish?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Oct 13, 2018

When we accept Jesus as Lord there is an excitement. We want to save the world. But over time the world beats so many of us into silence. This message is about how the Apostle Paul refused to let circumstances keep him from finishing his race.

The book of Philippians – The Back Story Roman Prison: The Tullianum (Keep) When we read scripture sometimes knowing the circumstances from which they were written can paint what we read in a totally different light.

Paghahasik Ng Pagtatalo

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 8, 2020

Ang paghahasik ng pagtatalo sa pagitan ng mga kapatid ay isang karumaldumal sa mga mata ng Panginoon. Ang pagsasaalang-alang sa iyong sarili na mas mahusay kaysa sa iba ay nagtataguyod ng dibisyon ngunit isinasaalang-alang ang iba na mas mahusay kaysa sa iyong sarili ay nagtataguyod ng pagkakaisa.

Paghahasik ng pagtatalo "Ang taong baluktot ay naghahatid ng pagtatalo, at ang isang bulong ay naghihiwalay sa pinakamahusay na mga kaibigan" (Kawikaan 16:28) Ang mga kapatid ay nilikha ng Diyos upang manirahan sa pagkakaisa (Gaano kahusay at kaaya-aya sa mga kapatid na magkasama na ...read more

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 16, 2020

Freedom comes when I realize that I am not in charge of the universe … God is … and I let Him do His job and I do mine … which is to be an attentive and obedient servant of the Lord and Master of the universe.

If I Perish, I Perish Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Aug 23, 2020

In the book of Esther, a game of chess is being played, except with cosmic implications. Satan carefully moved Haman into position and gleefully hissed, “Check!” But we will see that God has his own plan and has a queen and a pawn moving in for the kill, or in chess language, “Checkmate!”
