    You probably know that what we learn after we are out of school is much more than what we learned in the classrooms while we were in school.

    A mistake many high school students make is to think that one day they will graduate and never have to apply in their daily living any of the things they learned in those classrooms in the past twelve years. The reason they think that way is because we have been trained to think of a classroom ...read more

    Making A Name For Ourselves Fails The Test Of Joy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 17, 2025
     | 241 views

    We have a tendency to believe our own publicity, and feel best about ourselves when we own the deeds to lots of stuff.

    Friday of the Sixth Week in Course 2025 “Let’s make a name for ourselves” hints that the first reading, from Genesis, is really talking about the results of human pride. Migrating people from the far reaches of Asia are imagined coming together in the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 3, 2023
     | 2,670 views

    Cana was mysteriously chosen to be the site of Jesus' first two miracles in Galilee. Cana means "a rod for measuring." At Cana a desperate man met Jesus. His perspective was changed and his gold-like faith emerged.

    THE TESTING AT CANA: DO YOU MEASURE UP? John 4:39-54 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There was a man in prison for robbery of a bank. He’d never told the police where he’d hidden the money. 2.

    Gideon had met the Angel of the LORD face to face, one day, and that night, received a message from the LORD. That message contained instructions for two of the most difficult things Gideon would ever be asked to do.

    (Note: this message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO on 10-16-2022 but is not an exact transcription.)

     | 557 views

    Here and in other sources we see that there was at the time of Jesus a current of thought imagining that the Messiah, or some other righteous man, would die for the sins of the people.

    Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Course 2024 About fifty years before the birth of our Savior Jesus, an unknown Jew, probably living in Egypt because of the dispersal of Israelites by Assyria and Babylon, wrote what is called the Book of Wisdom. It’s written in Greek in the style of the Hebrew wisdom ...read more

    Lying To The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 4, 2017
     | 16,116 views

    If God killed every Christian who lied, the churches would be empty. This does not excuse lying, but it does acknowledge our fallibility. The message is a study of one couple that attempted to deceive God and what He did about their deceit.

    “A man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, and with his wife’s knowledge he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, ‘Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit ...read more

All this helps us as Christians understand an important principle of ...read more
