    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
     | 1,525 views

    The war in Iraq is a war that will go down in the history books because the Americans defeated a brutal dictator and his regime, and helped this Islamic nation gain their freedom to form a democracy.

Many feel the reasons for invading Iraq and going to war with Saddam Hussein are justified. There are those, however, who accuse the President for going to war for ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 204 views

    Jehosheba’s name barely appears in Scripture, but her act altered history. She wasn’t a prophet like Elijah, or a warrior like David — she was a guardian.

    THE GAURDIAN JEHOSHEBA TEXT (2 Kings 11:1–3; 2 Chronicles 22:10–12) “But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons which were slain; she hid him… even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, ...read more

    Bill Cosby once said, “I’m proud to be an American, because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth, as long as he has two pieces of bread.” As Paul approaches eating meat offered to idols here in chapter 10, he gets a running start by pointing to ancient Israel’s history.

    Karl Marx said, "If I can steal their history I can steal their country." It is about time that Christians stop this theft and stand up for Christmas again!

    Fought/ fight = agony. Literally – “I have agonized over a worthwhile struggle”. At the end of Paul’s life, he declared that as for his faith, it was strong because he fought to keep it that way!

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, Feb. 4, 1996 They came out of nowhere. From small villages and obscure city streets, from backwoods farms and hard labor coal mines; from workingmen’s cottages, but not from the plantations, and from the ranks of domestics and cooks, but not ...read more

    The Passover is a red-letter day in Jewish history but for the Christian a wonderful type of Christ, the Passover Lamb - a Perfect Offering, a Scrificial Death, an Individual Protection and must be Applied Personally.
