    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 14, 2017
     | 11,107 views

    It wasn't enough to travel 3 days, or build the altar, or stack on the wood, or bind his son, or even to place his son on the altar. God waited until the great Patriarch raised the knife! Why wait so long? Why does God take us to the edge?

     | 10,763 views

    When we take our time and "Walk" through the word, we discover personal principles in even the most difficult passages

    Walking in the Word Romans 9:6-17 * Turn with me to Romans 9 and let’s read verses 6-17. * Romans 9-11 are almost a “book” unto themselves. In fact, at least one preacher thinks this section of Romans needs to be dealt with independently of the rest of the book. Certainly there seems to be some ...read more

    "The Kind Of Man That Job Was"

    Contributed by Paul Ray on Jul 24, 2013
     | 15,362 views

    July 28, 2013 “The Kind of Man That Job Was” Job 1:1-22 The book of Job is an important part of the Wisdom Literature found in the Old Testament. It is important because it provides an often ignored premise - concerning the questions about the suffering of the innocent. In ...read more
