    Exploring the purpose of wealth through reviewing Solomon's dark book.

    “There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches were kept by their owner to his hurt, and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand. As he came from his mother’s womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and ...read more

    The Singer

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 6, 2016
     | 6,361 views

    Thinking of worship through examining Jesus' singing of the hymn before His Passion.

    “When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” [1] Jesus was a singer; on four occasions Scripture informs us that Jesus sang. I cannot help but wonder what songs Jesus sang. Perhaps my training in the sciences compels me to ask such questions; nevertheless, I ...read more

    Though believers in the Lord are engaged in battles to the end of earthly days, they are assured of victory in Christ.

    Each Christian will eventually stand alone. At such times, they may be assured that they are never truly alone--the Lord is standing with them.

    2 TIMOTHY 4:16-18 WHEN STANDING ALONE… “At my first defense no one came to stand by me, but all deserted me. May it not be charged against them! But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. ...read more

     | 7,097 views

    When threatened by hostile states, how shall a nation respond? And who shall lead the nation to deliverance?

    “The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! The LORD looks ...read more

    What are you willing to risk in order to advance the cause of Christ Jesus?

    “I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But you know Timothy’s proven worth, how ...read more

    A Theology Of Wealth

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 3, 2015
     | 9,796 views

    The manner in which we handle the goods entrusted to us reveals our understanding of God.

    You must remember the LORD your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth; if you do this he will confirm his covenant that he made by oath to your ancestors, even as he has to this day. [1], [2] Events leading me to commit my life to Christ included a singular experience. Whilst ...read more

     | 8,010 views

    Gratitude is required if we will worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

    Competing According To The Rules Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 24, 2015
     | 6,553 views

    Divine rewards demand that we conduct our lives according to God's rules provided in His Word.

    I consider the initial verses of this chapter to be among the most significant verses of the book. They are, as well, perhaps the most neglected verses of the missive which Paul wrote. I confess that I am ploughing quite a narrow furrow in these expositions. Note that the Apostle appeals to ...read more

     | 7,319 views

    Life is preparation for death. How you administer your life now determines God's response to you and your place in the world to come.

    “Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him. For though, while he lives, he counts himself blessed —and though you get praise when you do well for yourself— ...read more

    Rewards come only after we work. The Apostle is encouraging those who are called by the Name of the Son of God to work diligently.

    “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” [1] Paul has presented a variety of images to illustrate the strong spiritual life expected of those who will follow the Master. As we saw in a previous message, the emphasis in these verbal pictures the ...read more

     | 5,429 views

    Delayed gratification is the norm for God's choice servants. Ponder how He works leads to a precious gift of understanding.

    “Think over what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.” [1] Anticipate opposition and hostility if you are a Christian. Don’t seek conflict; but don’t be surprised when opposition arises. We Christians seek peace with all people and we will do all ...read more
