Swing The Sickle Series

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Feb 17, 2019

God's judgement is fearful. God will call to account those who reject him. Don't say you weren't warned. Return to the Lord.

The great and terrible day of the Lord. Are you afraid of God? Do you secretly harbour a fear of him? Maybe in your upbringing you were introduced to a god who scared you and this was reinforced as you read those violent stories in the OT. Does a fear of God turn you away him? The language that ...read more

Book Of Life

Contributed by Tony Abram on Mar 28, 2019

The book of life is the heavenly record (God’s Book). Christ Himself determines whether the names that are recorded in the book of life remain in that record and are supported by His confession that they belong to Him at the day of judgment.

BOOK OF LIFE I. The book of life is the heavenly record (God’s Book) A. Those who have received Christ as Saviour have their names in God's book and we can rejoice. Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names ...read more

Gideon, Scientist Series

Time after time we read that “The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord gave them into ...read more

Who Are We To Judge

Contributed by Kevin Stewart on Apr 4, 2019

Sometimes we wonder why we can’t get a lot of people to come to church. Is it the time that’s not good, or is it too cold or hot in the church, or is it they do not want to be judged when they walk through the door.

Let Justice Run Down

Contributed by Boomer 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
