What's The Point Of Prayer If We Ask God To Do What He Wants Anyway?
by Greg Baker
3/12/2010 / Prayers
As Christians, we are asked to pray. But what's the point if we are always asking God to do His own will? For many people this completely defeats the purpose of prayer. Prayer is asking, right? So what's the point of asking if God is going to do what He wants to do anyway? Well, read on.

Should the "Holy land" be occupied by the Palestinians or the Israelis?
by Robert Randle
3/11/2010 / World Affairs
The issue over who should live in the Holy Land cannot be settled by the United Nations or political negotiations, but rather by the Word of God, and if helpful, by the Social Sciences. Since the Palestinians claim to be descendants of the Philistines, then it is prudent to find out who they are and where they came from.

5 Ways to Minister to Your Preteen Sunday School Students
by Jessica Gerald

Preteens, or "tweens," are at sort of a crossroads in their lives. But the alarming fact is that they are exposed to so much more than we were at that age. Evil influences are everywhere, and wrong behavior is often glorified by their peers. More than ever, we need to make our ministry life-changing and relevant to their lives. Many of us only have about an hour Sunday morning to do this. Here are some suggestions to help you get started

The Right Christian Philosophy Of Marriage
by Greg Baker

The Hardest People to Love
by Jim Barringer
3/09/2010 / Christian Living
Many of us think that we're loving people because we love the people who we spend a lot of time around, the people who love us. What credit is it, really, if we love our friends? As Jesus said, "Even the pagans do that." I think there's a really good way to measure how loving we really are, and it's by gauging the way we treat two groups of people who are the hardest to love: strangers and the people who hate us.

The Importance of the country of Syria in Christianity
by Robert Randle

Early Christianity started in Jerusalem among the Jews who were converted while attending the Feast of the Day of Pentecost.

Perhaps the only other Church assembly with a similar organizational structure and wielding some Ecclesiastical authority was the one in Antioch [Syria].

Did God establish His Covenant with the Gentile Nations or the Jews?
by Robert Randle
3/08/2010 / Devotionals
There are those in the Christian Church who advocate a doctrine called "Replacement Theology" which essentially means that God has cast off Israel because of her sins and instead has turned His attention to the Gentiles; but is this really true? While this teaching may be popular among some in the Evangelical camp of the Christian Church as well as a few others in America and possibly among a number of countries in the Western Hemisphere, the Scriptures nowhere mentions this at all; if anything, it boldly asserts the exact opposite.

Go-Karting with Jesus
by Jim Barringer
3/04/2010 / Christian Living
That got me to thinking about the way we follow God, and the fact that God's plan is frequently stressful to us. I think most of us believe, deep in our hearts, that God's plan is crazy and dangerous, rather than carefully and meticulously designed so that it will never be too much for us. We conclude that fear and caution are much better than courageously living the life that God has mapped out. The problem with this - and take it from me, because I lived a play-it-safe life for years before I came to God - is that, many times in life, pain and discomfort are a sign that you're on the right track.

Whatever Is.....
by Shannon Heiden
3/04/2010 / Devotionals
Beautiful One, may I encourage you with this one simple truth. Hard times, long battles and yes even failures and fear all have a purpose. When we are poured out of ourselves, when nothing is left in us, thats when God does some of his best work. Sometimes in order for us to truly live, we actually have to die to all that we've known first.
I'm not speaking of physical death, but when our lives have gone through abuses, traumas, and we've been in crisis and survival mode, sometimes God has to get us to the complete end of ourselves,
