    The irony is that Israel was in the midst of a DROUGHT, and yet the people were commanded to pour water on the sacrifice! Don’t miss this: They were instructed to put their most precious possession on the altar if they were to experience God’s Fire!

    PRINCIPLES FOR RECOVERING THE FIRE OF GOD 1 Kings 18:36-39 "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy ...read more

    Don’t Check Your Brain At The Door!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 15, 2019
     | 4,328 views

    Christian faith is more rational than atheism because it recognizes the minute information we possess and the insuperable complexity and design of the universe and life forms. We rest our intellect on the intellect of God. What could be wiser?

    “DON’T CHECK YOUR BRAIN AT THE DOOR!” Acts 17:11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE CHECKER (I was told this by a friend) 1. I went shopping at Walmart earlier today and got a sack of chicken legs. Right before the young lady rang them up, I asked her if they were front or back legs. 2. She paused ...read more

     | 888 views

    Everyone possesses some form of faith. We place faith in various aspects of our lives, such as trusting our car to start and take us to our desired destination, or believing in the expertise of our doctors. This mindset is universal.

    Today, I want to talk about "faith." Everyone has some type of faith, whether it's in their car starting or in their doctor's expertise. We all have faith in something or someone. However, the difference lies in the object of our faith. Our faith is only as good as the object we place it in. In the ...read more
