    The Songs Of Ascent – Part 9 – Psalm 127 – Without The Lord All Labour Is In Vain – And A Look At The Evil Of Solomon Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 19, 2023
     | 2,202 views

    The Lord must build the house (be the foundation for your life). There is no other foundation and it is vain to think otherwise. The Psalm says children are a gift from the Lord. We look at the evil of Solomon who was an idolater, but wrote this Psalm early in his life.

     | 5,788 views

    In this life we are all allotted so many days, weeks, months and years. These days, weeks, months and years are a gift from almighty God.

    What we do with this gift is left entirely up to us. Because of this gift of time this is why there is going to be a judgment to give an account of what we have done with our time. Some will have to give account for their teens, 20 years, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or a 100 years. • But we must ...read more

     | 2,589 views

    One thing that we all have in common is that we all want the best this life has to offer.

    What we do not have in common is the way we go about pursuing the best this life has to offer. For example, many believe their hope of enjoying the best life has to offer them can be found in: - Sports. Their lives are consumed by the pursuit of sports. - Wealth. Their lives are consumed by ...read more

    The Idols That Make Us Idle

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025
     | 199 views

    It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

    God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more
