Three Thing The Lord Require Of Us

Contributed by Ronald Matandakufa on Feb 10, 2016

God is much more interested in our life style then in ceremonies and sacrifaces that we may perform. Its about how we relate to God and one another.

Recently, I had a story about a certain man who was very poor. He really struggled to make ends meet in life. Putting food on the table and taking his children to school was a problem. It so happened that this man becomes sick for a long time and eventually he died. What actually made his health ...read more

Putting It All Together Series

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022

It's nonsense to build our lives on a lie, but people do it. God calls us to build on a foundation of truth.

There is nothing quite so destructive as a lie. No one wants to be lied to. It is nothing short of betrayal. And no one wants to be lied about. It is an ugly and contemptuous act. The Bible traces our worst problems back to a lie. The serpent, remember, asked the woman whether it was true what he ...read more

Jesus The Bread Of Life

Mother Nature's Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 9, 2021

The Bible says that the laws of nature are not eternal, but that they began in time, and they were put into operation by the Word of God. God is the Father of all nature, and He is the Father of all the wisdom and order that men attribute to nature.

The Bible consistently represents God as male. This is true for all 3 Persons of the Trinity. When the Son became flesh He became a man. The Holy Spirit is always called He. The male was also the first to be created. All of this in no way means that the Bible depreciates the female, for we will ...read more

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 23, 2021

I was bell ringing yesterday, for the Salvation Army, at the red kettle, and a guy walked past me and said, "Who wrote the Bible?"
