The Necessity Of Prayer

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 31, 2006

God acts when man pray. The asking is critical to the task at hand. We are not dealing with a reluctant Father, but a God who is willing to respond. Prayer accomplishes God’s will.

Sad Polygamy (Genesis 29)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 8, 2024

Were the patriarchs and matriarchs of our common faith filled with great imperfections and a great faith? Are we in the Church still so very imperfect, but also filled with a great faith? Let's look at Genesis 29.

After he left home to escape his brother’s threats, how did Jacob meet Rachel? Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the ...read more

Paul's Resume

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 9, 2024
