Believing Heart

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jan 26, 2013

Family Secrets Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 22, 2018

Family secrets harm families. In Jacob's family, there was disunity and favoritism. Family secrets need to be brought into the open, where they can be dealt with. Families can change the way they deal with issues: truth, attitudes, and actions.

What Part Of "i Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life" Do You Not Understand?

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 29, 2022

Jesus Christ made it clear to His disciples in the Upper Room and to everyone that He and He alone provides us access to God the Father. There is no other way to God and salvation except through Him. The issue is settled.

Just who do we think we are to question the Sovereign Lord God Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of all things (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-4; Colossians 1:16-18) as to how He has solemnly decreed from all eternity the means by which He has chosen to redeem our sorry, self-centered, malevolent, cruel, ...read more

The Bible And God's Will

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 1, 2021

The Bible is life’s operating manual. It teaches us how to live in every major issue we face in life. It’s a sure guide to success. Unfortunately, too many fail to read the instructions.

Last time, we talked about God’s Will versus our will. We learned a little about predestination. And I tried to answer many of the questions about predestination. Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and ...read more

OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

Faith In Healing

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Oct 1, 2023

Everything in Mark chapter 5 concerns itself with healing and restoration: from the healing and restoring of a demon possessed man to the resurrection of a little girl. In-between these two healings are that of the woman with the twelve-year issue of blood.

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may ...read more

Joys False Or Complete Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 10, 2004

For Epiphany: As Richard Foster wrote about "Money, Sex, and Power", is it possible the Wise Men’s gifts are warnings to Jesus and His family about these things? Complete joy comes from what Jesus did with these issues.

Who we are and what we have are two entirely different things, but we confuse them. We insist on identifying who we are by what we have. Who we are and what we have are not the same thing. We are more by far than the material goods we possess. And yet everywhere we are identified by our stuff. ...read more
