    Deepening Desire Series

    In love, if we start by asking God what he wants, chances are we will find a love like the one in Song of Solomon, and it will become its own song.

    The Song of Solomon, or Song of Songs, is one of the most interesting, unique books in the Bible. Nothing else is like it. Psalms has poetry, but not like this. Ruth and Esther have love stories, but not like this one. Paul talked about marriage, but not as Song of Solomon does. This book of the ...read more

    Grace is God’s ability to declare us to be free from the prison and faith is the only key that unlocks the prison door.

My favorite scene is where Steve McQueen, who became a superstar after the movie, escaped from the German soldiers by riding a motorcycle through a field.

    Killing Jesus

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 4, 2013
     | 2,352 views

    When Bill O'reilly wrote Killing Jesus he meant it as a history book and not as a religious book. But did he accidentally meddle in our faith in the Holy Bible when he did so? Doubt in the Word of God has been a took of the devil from the beginning.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,457 views

    God's voice is often heard in stillness. He commanded, "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10 NIV).

    "Speak Lord for your servant is listening" (1 Samuel 3:9) "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27 KJV) The Prophet Habakkuk knew the sound of God's voice. Elijah described it as a still, small voice heard as random thoughts, impressions, ...read more
