Bethel: Where The Prophet Was Told To Leave Town!

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 3, 2020

Many things happened at Bethel, including this visit from one of God's true prophets who came face to face with the priest of that city. God's prophet preached--but what happened afterwards?

David was king and could have said only one word and the result would have been one less prophet! David’s own great-great-grandson Asa ...read more

Jaw-Dropping Faith

Punishment Of A Nation Series

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023

Every nation has need of discipline. God will punish an evil nation for disobedience by unrighteous leadership. Look at the nation of Judah and God's punishment of them. Yet, God will protect and comfort the righteous in captivity.

As Americans, we have not seen a complete overthrow of our nation’s leadership. We have witnessed many attempts to assassinate our presidents, with a few successes. Our form of government seems to be stable. The democracy in which we live has been built upon Godly principles and appears to be a ...read more

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
