Samuel - Last of the Judges (Part 3)

The Ark of God is stolen
When Israel went out to battle their rival enemy, the Philistines, they lost about four thousand men.  When they returned to camp, they decided to get the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and take that out to battle the next time.  They must have forgotten that God is […]

Samuel - Last of the Judges (Part 2)

The Lord calls Samuel
Although Samuel was still young, he ministered before the Lord, and Eli the priest.  It was about time for Samuel to take over because Eli’s sons did not walk in the ways of the Lord.  In fact, God’s Word says that they were sons of Belial(Satan)!  Eli’s sons did wicked things in the sight of […]

Samuel - Last of the Judges

The Lord remembers Hannah
A lot of people are fairly content being childless these days.  Way back when, if you were a woman and were unable to have a child, it was a big deal.  Husbands expected children from their wives, and if they were not able to conceive, not only would they be looked down […]

Journey Through Canaan

Come join me, as I go on a journey through the land of Canaan, throughout the next few weeks.  No, this will not be a physical journey, instead it will be a journey through God’s Word, and the books of Samuel. 
The time is aproximately 1050 B.C.  The rule of the Judges is almost over, and the […]

Facing The Giants

One of my friends from Shoutlife told me about this movie called, Facing The Giants, which came out back in 2006. I’m glad I went and picked it up because it’s an excellent movie.
I can’t say it’s awesome because only God is awesome. However, it was not short of inspirational, encouraging, faith building, and glorifying […]

Unfruitful Apart From Jesus Christ

“I am the vine; you are the branches.  If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.”  John 15:5
Jesus Christ is very clear about how we do, what we do.  Living for Jesus Christ, is not just about doing stuff.  It’s also […]

He Must Die, or Else Everyone Will Believe in Him

“What are we accomplishing?”  they(chief priests and Pharisees) asked.  “Here is this man performing many miraculous signs.  If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.”   John 11:47b-48
The chief priests and Pharisees were getting nowhere with […]

Tortured For A Crime He Did Not Committ

Ten years ago, as a wave of bank robberies swept Kenya, bank employees like Stephen anxiously wondered if their branches would be struck by the crime.  The tense speculation did not last long: Stephen’s branch was soon hit by brazen perpetrators who robbed the bank and shot a police officer while making their escape.  Shaken […]

How Then Were Your Eyes Open?

There was a man who had been born blind from birth.  Most people assumed that he was blind because of some sin that either he, or his parents had committed.  This perception was wrong because this blindness was to be used to display the work of God. 
Sometimes certain things happen, not because of luck, or […]

Selfishness Kills

The desire to please the flesh brings destruction upon itself.  When we put self at the top of the list, we are really making a decision to be enslaved by the flesh.  We only have two choices when it comes to who we will serve; self, or God. 
Can making ourselves the top priority really kill?
Surely […]
