     | 6,764 views

    How we understand God affects how we see time.

    What Time is It?

    His Work Is Perfect

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 12, 2021
     | 3,064 views

    If there is confusion, chaos and disharmony, understand God is not in that because His works are perfect.

    God’s work is perfect: Deuteronomy 32:4 "The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He. As I was reading my Bible in a disciplined manner, I came to the above scripture where Moses said ‘The Rock, His work ...read more

    Jesus changes the attitude of the disciples on the way to Emmaus with the expounding of Scriptures - showing them and us hope.

    There are experts in the field who tell you how to shake a hand, how to walk, how to talk, to try to look more confident, more assured - more impressive. Maybe you remember your mom telling you on occasion, “stop slouching! Say thank you! Stop mumbling! Look at me when I’m talking to you.” ...read more

    Joseph's Dreams

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 6, 2016
     | 6,724 views

    When it comes to dreaming, many readers think Matthew is the dreamer by the way he uses Old Testament Scripture to back up his story. Is Matthew too anxious to justify his story that he twists Scripture to suit his purpose?

    Matthew 2:19-23 Joseph’s Dreams 12/22/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction Do you sometimes wake up tired because of vivid dreams? I imagine Joseph had that problem. Matthew records four dreams through which an angel of the Lord spoke to him. The first dream was to assure him that he could ...read more

    Throughout the Old Testament, the theme that rings out is that our God is a merciful God. Scripture after Scripture speaks of His mercies. For instance, in Psalm 116:5 (NKJV) 5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 10, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,834 views

    In this Scripture Jesus confirms that He IS the Christ, the He must die and that He will rise again. Also in this Scripture we see that we must believe Jesus is the Christ, that we must die and be raised; raised to eternal life or eternal death.

    Mark 8:27-38 (Please open your Bibles so you can read along) Today we will start following Jesus down the road to the cross and then finally to the resurrection. This, of course, is not something we speak about only at this time of year. This great act of mercy and salvation is the pivotal event ...read more

    Licking The Lips

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 26, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,059 views

    Now I believe that there are four bona-fide instances of lip-licking instances found in the Scriptures.

    LICKING THE LIPS The Bible has much to say about the lips. Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” The more a man talks, the more mistakes he will make Wisdom is manifest in what we don’t say, rather than in what we say.. ...read more

    Sin is real. So is salvation. But we can’t really understand the joy of salvation until we understand the depths of sin from which we have been saved.

    based on 60 ratings
     | 19,496 views

    The "Motive" of Christ’s death on the cross is fairly clear in Scripture... but there are people who are offended by that message.

    OPEN: (We started the sermon playing the theme music for "CSI Miami". Then commented:) Some of you may be asking “What in the world was that?” That was the theme music from the hit TV show “CSI Miami”.

    Message explores the scriptural strength/weakness of the POSTTRIBULATION Rapture position. That is compared with the Pretribulation and Midtribulation positions.

    This is the seventh message exploring Scripture for an answer to one question: Will Christians go through the tribulation period. It is not an easy question to answer because there is no place in the Bible where we are specifically told when the rapture of the church will occur. We are certainly ...read more
