Can A Few Good Men Save Us?

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Feb 26, 2018

We have a tendency of turning to "good people" to help us during times of trouble. But can "good" people really save us? Is Good, Good enough?

When we are in trouble, when we need help, when we want to be saved from something, we generally turn to good men/ women; don’t we? It is natural for us to take the help of Good Men (I will use the masculine term from here, but it includes Women too). We trust them, we believe they have good ...read more

David In Saul’s Camp

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 8, 2022

We see another magical moment when David walks with God and ventures into the impossible. God gave David Saul’s spear-scepter and the king's source of anointing. This was a prevision of what David was later to gain as King.

DAVID IN SAUL’S CAMP 1 Sam. 26:2-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I was thrown out of the break room of my Walmart yesterday. They asked me what I was doing there. I told them, “I’m on a break.” 2.

Lot Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 25, 2024

The wickedness of the city may have caused Lot pain, but instead of being an INFLUENCER, he had become the INFLUENCEE. He had squandered his knowledge of God. His very presence in the city and his own actions say – if nothing else - “acceptance” of the swamp he had chosen.

October 26, 2024 We don’t know much about Lot. He is mentioned just 26 times in Genesis, primarily in chapters 13 and 19. We know that his father was Haran and that he joined the household of his uncle Abram and aunt Sarai after the death of his father (interestingly, it was one of Abram’s ...read more
