    You Are Accepted

    Contributed by Doug Morrell on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,369 views

    The reason we think and many times say such terrible things about others is that we do not truly accept that we are accepted. We are haunted by guilt because we have never accepted and forgiven ourselves.

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Or so we have been told. However, the Bible tells us that our words have the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21). God also tells us that only wholesome talk should come from our mouths and that we should encourage one another ...read more

    In Genesis 11 we have the family tree of Shem, but only 3 women are mentioned by name - very Chauvinistic to our modern way of thinking!

    Genesis 11 - Part 5 - SO, IS GOD A CHAUVINIST? Being an only son not only meant growing up in a house full of women, but also it meant that I was the last of the Cochrane's in my family line. I carried on the name of Cochrane when I had a son. My son's wife is about to have a son. This means that ...read more

    God takes us on a journey that sometimes has a few bumps in the road.

    For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, the Messiah, Who has been preached among you by us, by myself, Slvanus and Timothy, was not Yes and No; but in Him it is (always the divine) Yes. For as many as are the promises of God, they all find their Yes (answer) in Him (Christ). For this reason we also ...read more

    Just like a rip-current in the ocean can pull us away from shore, we must deepen our relationship with Jesus so that the things of this world do not pull us away from God.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST HAZARDS OF THE BEACH AND ENJOYING THE BEAUTY OF THE OCEAN IS GETTING CAUGHT IN THE STRONG GRASP OF A RIP CURRENT.

    Zacchaeus

     | 11,273 views

    Every time I read the gospels recounting of Jesus ministry I am amazed at how every turn, route or path Jesus took was a planned season for someone to encounter him. Jesus entered and passed through Jerico and this time it was Zacchaeus season of visitation.

    Luke 19 King James Version (KJV) 19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheaus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 ...read more

    Alternate Theory Of Creation No. 4 -Progressive Creationism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 25, 2023
     | 1,320 views

    This is the last of four messages on the alternatives of creation often presented to skeptics and the scientific community apart from what is described in Genesis 1. This final message deals with "progressive creationism", another example of the futility of man's "wisdom".

    We have looked at four alternative theories that some Christians use to either defend or explain to a skeptical world how everything came into being instead of what is clearly presented in Genesis 1. The world system took advantage of our withdrawal from the scientific community soon after the ...read more
