Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 15, 2021

In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

Are You Confident In Your Faith?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 14, 2024

Today, I want to talk about having a confident faith because a confident faith will kill worry. A confident faith quiets our minds as the Lord whispers to our souls, “fear not.”

Almost everything I worry about never happens.” There's a new word that we are hearing more and more these days ...read more

The Christian And Their Work Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Aug 5, 2019

How should a Christian go about behaving in the workplace?

Before we dig into our passage, I want to first deal with a question that is often asked: “Why didn’t Paul call for abolishing slavery?” Observation #1: Though Paul didn’t condemn slavery, he didn’t condone it either. Observation #2: Paul doesn’t offer a theological rationale ...read more

A Naked Man And A Bunch Of Crazy Pigs

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Feb 22, 2001

Jesus encounters a man with so many demons the man says his name is "Legion." Yet, the community is not afraid of this man. Like our culture, the biblical community had grown comfortable with evil.
