Coincidence, Or God At Work?

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jun 28, 2023

The Idols That Make Us Idle

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025

It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more

Part 1: The Hidden God (Deus Absconditus) Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026

Where is God when prayers go unanswered and suffering remains? This sermon walks through Job 23 to reveal what God is doing when He seems absent.

A trusted friend who goes quiet when you need them most. And perhaps most troubling of all, a God who seems ...read more
