     | 7,111 views

    The Lord will come again, and it is given to us to diligently work at our ministries as if these were the final moments

    Many dates have been proposed for the end of the world. Recently: May 21, 2011, October 21, 2011, and December 21, 2012. What do they have in common? It’s not the number 21. None of them are correct. You’d be more accurate saying, “Today is the end of the world,” every day ...read more

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jun 17, 2012
     | 9,925 views

    Having the desire of our hearts rightly aligned with God is critical, for God will eventual grant it; if we have prepared our hearts through constant training to receive God, we have a heavenly reward, but it we have prepared it to reject God,our payment

    You know when you ask—nay, beg—God to do something or give something to you… Have you ever the request denied, and found out that what God refused, what you desired so badly, ultimately would have been harmful to you? Not everything we desire is wholly aligned with God’s ...read more

    This is the fifth message in a series that will be a journey of discovery to gain a better understanding of the Holy Spirit's power, presence and role....This message looks at they ways the Holy Spirit works in the lives of different individuals.

    Is it intuition or the direct guidance of the Holy Spirit? This subject is extremely important but by the same token it can be extremely risky. Risky? We can go too far and read the Holy Spirit into every whim or hair brain idea that passes through our minds. To reduce these risks, many have gone ...read more

     | 5,886 views

    What do I do if God isn't answering my prayers?

    Does God answer all prayer? What does your experience tell you? Most of us have had the experience where our prayers “didn’t seem to get past the ceiling.” But what does the Bible tells us? There are times when God does not acknowledge our prayers. Let me first say though that ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 26 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,261 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 26 1. And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And ...read more

    It must also be noted that there is a vast difference between saying "I Made It" and saying "I’ve Got It Made¨.

    The familiar statement, "I Made It ", is a statement that implies achievement in the midst of overwhelming odds. It is a proclamation of accomplishment for someone who has had the deck stacked against him. Its a way of saying that, "In spite of the length of the journey; in spite of the roughness ...read more
