    Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Aug 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,474 views

    A contentious spirit is like fire which burns up all that is good, and puts families, friends and co-workers at odds. This spirit finds a small fire of strife, kindles it and keeps feeding the issues which cause distrust, hatred or malice.

    John The Baptist Shows How In The Wilderness, God Uses Harsh Mercy To Feed Our Deepest Spiritual Hunger.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Dec 7, 2025
     | 211 views

    God used John the Baptist because the people were spiritually hungry, and longed for something real. John was harsh but hopeful, and used the wilderness, to renew Gods people through honesty and humility.

A Voice in the Wilderness A lonely ...read more

    His Love Never Runs Out Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Feb 16, 2026
     | 157 views

    : One of the deepest fears we carry—often unspoken—is the fear that love has limits. We worry that if we fail too much, disappoint too often, or suffer too long, the love we rely on might eventually dry up. Human love can grow weary. Human patience can wear thin. Human grace can be exhausted.

    Title: His Love Never Runs Out Text: “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” — Psalm 136:1 (NIV) Introduction: One of the deepest fears we carry—often unspoken—is the fear that love has limits.
