    Contention Intervention

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,542 views

    The kind of conflict---contention that the Apostle Paul addressed in the early part of I Corinthians is very similar to that that existed in the split that resulted in the formation of the “Ant-peg Baptist Church”.

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household ...read more

     | 2,419 views

    David set in motion many troubles from his sin with Bathsheba. He is forgiven, but the consequences of sin play out. Not all problems are a result of sin and we don’t usually see such a one to one correlation between our past sin and our problems but it is explicitly clear in King David’s case.

    Fairytales are so uplifting. Prince charming rescues the princes and of course they live happily ever after. A lot of traumatic things happened to the princes before prince charming rescued her. The fairytale ending whitewashes the harsh reality of the remaining scars. Everyone has struggles. Yes, ...read more

     | 1,370 views

    Some in that crowd were having quarrels over who baptized them as if those that baptized them had differing ranks. They were choosing sides contrary to the Gospel which calls us to be united to be united through Christ (I Corinthians 1:12 -13).

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11. My brothers, some from Chloe's household ...read more

     | 1,250 views

    Israel could not produce the type of fruit that God had intended because they tried to produce it on their own- and not God’s way. God expected to find peace, but instead He found bloodshed; He expected to find justice but instead He heard cries of oppression.

    A Branch On The Tree. Charlie Brown, “Snoopy some day we will all die.” And Snoopy says, “True, but on all the other days we will not.” Here's my addendum, -The believer never dies! The grapevine has always been central to Israel’s agriculture and economy and was an important symbol for ...read more

    God’s Christmas Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 16, 2025
     | 270 views

    In 1659 Christmas was banned. More recently, genuine Christmas has been supplanted by a commercial Christmas with the Christmas tree as its center. Yet strange to tell, long ago, God picked out a Christmas tree for His Son.

    GOD’S CHRISTMAS TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room. His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more
