Not Our Way, But God’s Way

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

Though the Lord had led them out of perilous situations, and taken care of all their needs, the Israelites were still hesitant to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. While Moses kept the promise of God at the forefront the people kept themselves ahead of everything else.

For today’s meditation we will read Deuteronomy 1:21, “See, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more

Unwrapping Gems In Malachi

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2020

The love of God is set to avert the curse.

UNWRAPPING GEMS IN MALACHI The “burden” of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi is “I have loved you” (MALACHI 1:1-2). Why has the LORD set His love on His people? Well, according to Moses, He loves us because He loves us (Deuteronomy 7:7-8)! It is not our love to God that saves us, but ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 14, 2019

An in-depth, multi-part biblical look at "Deliverance Ministry," curses, "sins of the father," the position, rights and authority of every Born-Again Christian.

During the late 1960’s there began a teaching within the church that is now known as ‘Deliverance Ministry (DM).’ It is believed by a majority of DM proponents that when a person becomes Born-Again, light comes into their spirit, and they become brand new, but their body will not be made new ...read more

When the 1960s ended, and San Francisco became very expensive to live, many of the hippies moved down the coast to Santa Cruz. They had children and got married, but in no particular sequence.

Deny Yourself

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014

Jesus said some radical things, radical things in his day and in ours. One of those things was, "Deny Yourself."

Finding Our Worth In Christ

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Mar 26, 2019

In a culture obsessed with self-image, how do we find our self-worth and redefine ourselves in the image of Christ?

American Individualism I want you to take a moment, as we reflect on this verse, to think about the culture we find ourselves in today.

Welcome To The "Post-Truth” World!

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017

Those with discernment know that we have been living in a spiritual “Post Truth” world for a millennia. God's facts and truths have been less influential in shaping individual public opinion than have appeals to emotion, personal reason and perspectives.

Welcome to the “Post-Truth” World! You may have heard that, back in December, the Oxford Dictionary announced that "Post-Truth" is its 2016 word of the year. According to the Dictionary's website, the word is "an adjective defined as 'relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts ...read more

The Danger Of Doing What Is Right In Your Own Sight

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 6, 2023

The church has had far too much in common with the children of Israel back in the days when there was no king. We must cry out against the Spiritual, Moral, and Ethical Depravity that is being allowed to happen in the churches today.

The Danger of Doing What is Right in Your Own Eyes By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER: SCRIPTURES: - Judges 17 – 21 Deuteronomy 12:8 says, “You shall not do as we are doing here today, everyone doing what is right in his own eyes”.
