Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 16, 2025

How rare is it to find a true friend willing to die for you? Is Jesus such a friend? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 20.

Contributed by Babatunmishe Oke on Aug 17, 2025

In spiritual warfare, there is an attempt by the Accuser of the brethren to replicate this natural law.

In physics there is a natural law being one of the laws of physics. In fact, in high school, it was known as Newton’s third law of motion. It states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that when one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts ...read more

Do We Have A Vision Of Goodness?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Feb 4, 2023

Are we focused just on what and who is inside our church doors? Or are we looking, searching and sharing what we have with others so that they may come in?

The public moral compass of society relies upon the knowing God’s directions, yet it likewise relies upon individuals keeping ...read more
