    This message looks at the unusual "fleece" request that Gideon makes and then considers whether we are allowed to make similar requests.

    Is It Ok To Ask God For A Sign?: 1. This passage about Gideon’s fleece is a true story, but not an ironclad promise. - Judges 6:36-40. - God is under no obligation to answer “fleece” questions. - Not all Bible stories are directly applicable in the sense of being able to expect God to do the ...read more

    We hear a lot of these television preachers give the impression that God comes down at least twice a day and visits and talks to them in an audible voice about the things He wants them to do.

    I find it hard to believe what many of these television preachers preach and teach most of the time. Much of it is UNSCRIPTURAL AND RIDICULOUS! They make the Lord’s work look bad! When one comes up with a new idea for making more money, the others seem to follow. I am sure there must be some good ...read more

    Our Christian Brothers are often found in some unusual places. It should caution us about judging too quickly!

    In this day and age, when there is so much competition and our litigation-crazed society encourages more division than healing, it is often easy for us as Christians to forget that we are supposed to be "living icons" of Jesus Christ to those around us. We actually fight more among ourselves as ...read more

    The serpent was a regular visitor to the Garden of Eden. Its presence in their estate was not unusual to Eve. It was easy for her to be manipulated because of the intimacy.

    After the young Christian church had been through much persecution, it was called upon to do two unusual things:

    • Accept Saul, who had been one of the worst enemies it had. • Accept the Gentiles as part of the Christian church. We must remember, the young Christian church was composed of Jews who, although saved, had been raised from childhood to consider that anyone who was a gentile, was on the ...read more

    To aid ministers in addressing the unusual area of demon possession, I have compiled articles and statistics on behavior associated with possession.

This is because behavior that resembles possession is not treated as a spiritual phenomena, but as a mental or physiological ...read more

    Today it is not unusual to hear professing Christians claim they have all kinds of visions and revelations they have received from God.

    I do not doubt that many of these have received these visions and revelations they claim they have received, but knowing the life of some of these professing Christians, I do doubt that these visions and revelations came from God. Some are quick to point out that many of the New Testament Saints ...read more

    It’s unusual to get an invitation from the White House. I suppose it’s more unusual still to turn that invitation down. But a far greater invitation has, in fact, been offered to you and to me. Matthew 22:1-14 tells us about it. It is an invitation th

    Douglas Bernstein, a psychology professor at the University of Illinois recently asked faculty members for the ‘most unusual, bizarre, and amazing student excuses’ they had ever heard.

    He got dozens of responses from his fellow professors: * Grandparent death: an old favorite, but one professor’s class established some sort of record when 14 of 250 students reported their grandmother’s death just before final exams. * Car Problems: "I had an accident, the police impounded ...read more
