The Greatest Ruler Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 15, 2021

Instant Idolatry Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

This incident in Babylon shows us that Christians are justified in getting involved in politics, but also in resisting a government that compels obedience to what is contrary to the will of God.

Alfred North Whitehead said, "The key note of idolatry is contentment with the prevalent gods." Nebuchadnezzar, as we saw in the conclusion of chapter 2, had been convinced that Jehovah was the God of gods. Even after this, however, he did not feel compelled to forsake his lesser gods. ...read more

Endurance Under Stress Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 9, 2022

Does coming to Christ mean the end of suffering? Sorry, no it does not. To this, suffering, you were called. Christ suffered and left an example of suffering. We have great verses in 21-25 about what Christ’s death on the cross means. Christ suffered for you.

It was one of those dramatic stories. The town ruffian named Big Joe became a Christian. After all the noses he had broken, black eyes he had given the meanest toughest man in town accepts Christ and becomes a changed man. Now instead of a violent temper he endured patiently, even under stress. ...read more

Peter denied Jesus as he was warming himself. How many of us have denied Christ while warming around a worldly fire?
