A Vision Of World Peace Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 26, 2022

Isaiah has a vision of peace. This vision came from God. What Isaiah gives us here is totally different from "visualizing peace". We need to see what Isaiah saw. The vision of peace the prophet saw and foretold.

The subject of peace has universal interest. There are international conferences in process working toward world peace. Why is there such an interest in world peace? It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. You may have seen the bumper sticker, “Visualize World Peace.” ...read more

What The World Hates...

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Nov 12, 2023

How did we get to a point where there are those that sit in a church who don’t believe what is necessary to be saved, let alone what it is to be a true Christian? Well, this is a problem of leadership.

I always try to make the distinction between what the Bible calls a church, and what we think a church is…the Bible speaks of the church as the collected body of true believers in Christ Jesus, while we think the church is a building like this and all the people contained within it. This I say so ...read more

We live in a dysfunctional world where hope has died. Revelation provides hope for all Christians that there is something better for the faithful.

The Relationship Of Believers To The World Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 27, 2024

It’s a basic need that we need to belong. To be loved as one of the group. To be loved by the world as its own. It hurts to be made fun of or rejected - at any age. Even if you are retired.
