     | 3,441 views

    The question is not, “Will storms come in my life?” but, “Will the house prove to be storm worthy?”

    Every man builds his house in the path of a storm. No matter who that man is, no matter what kind of house he builds, no matter where he builds it. The question is not, “Will storms come in my life?” but, “Will the house prove to be storm worthy?” The storm may not have hit yet, but just hang on it ...read more

    Jesus Defends His Divinity

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 27, 2022
     | 1,596 views

    Shortly after Jesus healed the crippled man at the pool of Bethsaida (John 5:1-15), He was confronted by the religious officials who wanted Him dead for saying that God was His Father, making Himself equal withe God. Jesus responded with facts to back up His claim.

    If there was an apt description of the attitude of the Pharisees towards the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 5:18), it is this, "There are none so blind as those who will not see". All throughout this account of the Lord's life and work and in the other Gospels as ...read more

     | 1,322 views

    Can a person experience God's mercy and not share it with others?

    The essence of being a Christian and walking after Jesus, is my reaction to what He is and my response to what He has done. Therefore, if I want to know what I should do as a Christian, then I don’t look at Christians. I look to Him. The heart of Christianity is my reaction to what He is and what ...read more

    The Elegant And Meaningful Message Of The Book

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 1, 2021
     | 1,328 views

    There is so much noise surrounding the Bible. There is so much rhetoric. There is so much bias. There are so many skeptics, with so many things to say. But when you actually open up the Bible and read it, wow. Just wow.

    1 Peter 1:3-9 (NIV) 3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven ...read more

Koplitz Mark 10:35-45 35 James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 They said to Him, “Grant that we ...read more

    Pagan society and the Gospel do not mix. If we stay true to the Word, we can expect opposition. This opposition highlights that we are in the midst of a spiritual battle.

    Daniel - The University Years Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on May 12, 2023
     | 1,077 views

    The decision not to defile yourself is not made in the heat of passion or at the bar stool or in the twinkie aisle or at the office watercooler or at your computer when no one is looking. That decision must be made before the temptation ever presents itself.

    May 13, 2023 Historical Housekeeping The book of Daniel is divided into 2 sections – the narratives (stories) and the prophetic visions. The central theme of the book is the Sovereignty of God over all the earth – including nations who do not acknowledge Him. Chapters 1:1-2:4a were written ...read more

When you can face and overcome opposition by depending on God’s strength you will ultimately accomplish great things. Does taking a stand for Christ necessarily mean that you will ...read more
