     | 963 views

    In a world filled with daunting challenges, many are too fearful to confront them. David, however, faced a literal giant, despite the fear and criticism from those around him. His question, 'Is there not a Cause?', challenges us to confront our own giants with courage and faith.

    David, the youngest son of Jesse, was sent by his father to bring food to his brothers who were serving in Saul's army. Little did David know that he would encounter a giant named Goliath, who was defying the armies of Israel. While everyone else was filled with fear and hesitation, David boldly ...read more

    The Restoration Of Sight And The Reception Of Salvation

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,691 views

    In John 9, we read of the healing and salvation of a poor, blind man who has received not only physical sight, but also spiritual sight to see that Jesus was the Promised One of God. We also witness the deliberate spiritual lack of sight by the religious leaders who rejected the Light of God.

    Judas Iscariot, whom Jesus called “the son of perdition,” lived up to his name by agreeing to hand over Jesus to the religious leaders for a rather insignificant amount of money. How did he get the courage for this evil act? The Bible has the answer.
