    A perspective of the OT prophets. They waited for centuries before this would be fulfilled.

    “All I want for Christmas is a Savior” Micah 5:1-2 and Isaiah 7:14 It is hard to imagine that Christmas is now just three weeks away. Three short weeks. It’s that time of year when people start asking the question-hey-what do you want for Christmas and someone may respond by saying “well, all I ...read more

    A Song For The Future

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 18, 2014
     | 5,590 views

    Our future is unveiled to God. God prepares for our future.

    It is interesting to note that the last assignment God has for Moses is for him to write down a song; and to teach it to the people and have them sing it. • Why? Because they will need it. • God foresees what will happened and prepares what the people will need. 1. OUR FUTURE IS ...read more

And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, 3 And said, ...read more

    Kindness is a "fruit" of the Spirit. Both salvation and sanctification (walking in holiness) doing good deeds are both obtained by faith and the work of the Holy Spirit. Illustration from Max Lucado on Kindness

    The Power Of Faith

    Contributed by James Snyder on Jan 15, 2018
     | 11,697 views

    When I begin to understand the power of faith, I begin to appreciate what the Christian life is really all about.

    Some people like to refer to themselves as a man or woman of faith. Yet, if you query them along that subject you discover they have no idea what a man or woman of faith is. Faith has become just a word we use when thinking of somebody who is religious. Their faith is rooted in their religion. ...read more

    Can a man resist God's laws? Can he resist God's grace? Two different questions...

    Can a man resist God? Now that too, on the surface, seems like an easy question to answer. God’s Word has been published lo these many years.

    What if no one told the Story? Luke 2:8-20 Surveys are done on just about every subject now. One was taken with church members asking then which character in the Christmas story they most identified with. Mary? Joseph? The shepherds? The wise men?
