From The Devil's Depths To Divine Deliverance Series

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 20, 2007

Job’s misery was a rough path to a grand finale. Job was God’s man for the mission of putting Satan in his place. Wealth, health, family and friends are no foundation on which to stand, only faith.

Today, as promised, we will complete the book of Job. Last week we left him in the midst of his misery with three friends who came to "comfort" him. Remember, when we met Job, he was wealthy and seemed healthy, he walked with God blamelessly, and he deeply cared about his 10 children and ...read more

Why Am I Here?

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Feb 3, 2007

Looking at the world around us it would be so easy to give up. The cycles of problems and the ever declining situations we wittness. Persons of faith look through the problems and find God in the mists of trouble and pain and we can keep going.

Why am I here? Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 This week we are looking at the first chapter of Ecclesiastes and it sounds like the most depressing scripture you could ever find.

Unlocking The Conscience Series

Contributed by Duane Brown on Feb 11, 2006

Do you keep a “little list”?
