     | 144 views

    A miracle is the truth of God in works. A parable is the truth of God in word.

    A. WHAT IS A PARABLE? 1. A parable is a story. a. Actions that lead to a conclusion. b. Actors who are people. c. Narrative or interaction. 2. That is true to life. Parables are not myths about flying horses, or talking objects in nature. 3. But not a historical event. The story did not ...read more

    Instead of being like King Saul, whose life ended with disappointment, we can be like King David, whose life was characterized by hope, even when death was near.

    J Sidlow Baxter’s book, Mark These Men, tells us he thinks a man plays the fool when he: Neglects his godly friends; Goes on enterprises for God before God sends him; Disobeys God; Tries to cover disobedience with religious sounding excuses; Allows jealousy or hatred to master him; Knowingly ...read more

    In 1910, evangelist Dr. R.A. Torrey presented a series of revival messages, that are still powerful in their ability to make people think about their souls and the need for a Savior. This is a revision of one of those messages given before an audience in Edwardian England, still relevant today.

    The Scriptures do not soothe ruffled feelings nor do they strengthen egos devoid of belief in or trust of God. An atheist is, in God's eyes, a FOOL (Psalm 14:1). Human pride and self-centeredness are roadblocks we set up with help from the enemy of our souls to deafen and blind ourselves to ...read more
