     | 2,144 views

    The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

    What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars.

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 25, 2025
     | 90 views

    God doesn't appease our flesh when He speaks. Our flesh has to contend with what He communicates. This is the acid test to know whether it is God talking to us or whether we are hearing our inner voice or familiar (spirits) voices (Leviticus 19:31; 20:6,27).

    INTRODUCTION: According to the Bible, God speaks in several ways. In the Old Testament, God often communicated with His people directly, through theophanies, or audible speech, as when He spoke to Moses from the burning bush (Exodus 3:4) or gave the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai (Exodus 20:1). ...read more
