     | 1,920 views

    The responsibility of fatherhood demands that we be careful

    During Elisha’s ministry, the Jordan River parted instantly, poisoned waters were healed, the borrowed iron ax head flowed to the surface, dead children had been raised to life, but the miracle Israel needed now would be difficult. This miracle will require a sustained effort.

    What a great blessing Elisha had been to the nation of Israel. He faithfully used his God given double portion for the benefit of others. Israel was facing another persistent enemy, the Syrians. Prophet Elisha is on his death bed, over 80 years old in a weakened condition, yet God’s people are ...read more

     | 9,274 views

    God used Deborah who was strong. She was strong because her strength was in the Lord. The Lord can use you if you are strong in the Lord. He could use you to rebuild a broken family. He could use you to do more than you can ask or imagine.

    When our difficulties arise some people might say, we have a problem. There are a few rare individuals who say, in the same situation, we have an opportunity. Deborah is one of those who say, we have an opportunity. She is one of the rare individuals who make a difference in the difficult times. ...read more

     | 4,244 views

    Writing to the "elect lady," John was aware of the delicate balance needed to show grace to those who had wronged her while refusing to compromise her convictions and faith. We must love others, but we cannot compromise our faith for the favor of men.

Along with the gospel that bears his name, and Revelation, John also wrote 1, 2, and 3rd John. It is believed to have been written around AD 85-95, near the end of John’s life. ...read more
