In 1 st Samuel, chapter 4, the Bible tells the story of a group of people who thought they were holy and even scared their enemies into thinking they were, but soon found out they weren’t. When the battle began they were making the noise that sounds spiritual but had no spiritual depth. And when …

It amazes me to read one of the fundamental Christian teachings of the Bible that is found in places like Psalm 133:1, which tells us, “Beloved, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” And again the unity of the believer is mentioned in Ephesians and many other …

I guess we’ve all been there. Those are the times when we extended ourselves, usually financially, with credit cards as the problem. But there is another place I’d like to draw your attention to.

No one seems to be bothered at all with twisting words to sound good, and what’s even more amazing is that …

What do you think one’s soul is worth? What do you think people would charge to sell their entire life out to someone or something else? Well, believe it or not, most people sell out pretty cheaply. There is an account of one of two brothers who sold his for a pot of stew. That is found in Genesis …
