The Tower Of Babel

Contributed by John Lowe on May 14, 2014

| 17,769 views

The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of the breakdown of fellowship, of failure in communication, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements.

Body language has become a very important thing these days.

What Is Truth?

based on 1 rating

| 6,942 views

There are so many truth claims bombarding Believers today. What is a saint to do? Pilot had Jesus on trial, but Jesus said truth was on trial. Pilot asked, "What is truth?" Not much has changed since that John 18:37 episode.

The Omniscient One is the Repository of all truth and the Arbiter of all truth claims. Everything else is merely a truth-claim at best, waiting to see if it agrees with what ...read more

Nicodemus, a Pharisee, has come to Jesus at night. He is on a mission—a personal one it seems. He has come to Jesus in an attempt to figure Him out. He has come to the conclusion that Jesus cannot do what He does unless He has come from God.
