When tragedy strikes people often question: "How could a good God allow evil, suffering, and death in the world?"  Today we want to tackle these this question be examining the origin of evil and death along with God's solution to those problems.

In Luke 7:13, when Jesus was about to raise the son of the widow of Nain, He told the woman, "Do not weep."  Why then did Jesus weep as he was about to raise Lazarus.  If raising the dead brings joy, why does Jesus weep?  Listen along to find out the answer to this question and better appreciate the point of the raising of Lazarus.

In Matthew 5:31-32 the Lord stated, "It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery."  A few verses earlier Jesus also stated, "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say...

A little over two years ago I preached a sermon for the first and only time titled “Savage Death.” I have thought of this message many times and under many different circumstances including our current moment of crisis.  I hope that a reflection on the cross will help put our world, purpose, service, and affliction in their proper perspective. May God bless all who face times of testing in this di...

Fear is one of the greatest weapons the Devil holds and wields and is a blasphemous attempt to usurp that which properly belongs to God.  Please open your Bible and follow along as we address a pressing issue in light of the pandemic that has befallen our nation/world. Please share this message and feel free to distribute as you wish.  

In this episode we have dispensed with our regular format and content to provide a message that speaks to the chaos that is going on in our world.  With all that is happening it is easy to lose faith and focus on God, so we want to take a moment and provide some thoughts from the Bible that will hopefully provide some comfort in dark times.  God bless.

The second article is David Dorsey's article titled The Law of Moses and the...
