By Rick Shabi in Home Office - May 15, 2024 -  This chapter is at once historic and prophetic.  As Ezekiel prophesies to the house of Israel, God reveals to him the utter corruption and sin of the elders of the land, all done behind closed doors.  The message is prophetic to us as we see corruption in the lands we live, but also a warning to God's Church that we are doing things His way, with no hidden agendas.  Christ said in Luke 8:17, "There is nothing hidden that won't be revealed."

Bible Study: May 15, 2024: Ezekiel 8: Nothing Hidden That Won't Be Revealed

By Jorge de Campos in Dallas, TX, Fort Worth, TX, Lawton, OK - May 15, 2024 - Paul was concerned that when he would come there would not be much change. The fornicator was not the only one with a problem in Corinth

Epistles of Paul 65: 2 Corinthians 13:1-14

By Jorge de Campos in Dallas, TX - May 11, 2024 - There are many Bible versions available today.

As God’s people we need to be made aware of these doctrinally dangerous pitfalls. [NOTE:  TO DOWNLOAD THE SLIDE PRESENTATION FOLLOW THE DOWNLOADS LINK]

For indeed they will! Ritual without righteousness goes nowhere.  Christianity is more than theory and theory, but has contact points in the lab session of life to offer "living sacrifices" (Rom.12:1) in the living temple of God (1 Cor. 3:16-17).

Where the Rubber Meets the Road

By Darris McNeely in Cincinnati East, OH - May 11, 2024 - When I was young world conditions seemed to be moving toward a prophetic conclusion. Yet, I chose to live my life in a big ceiling room with large windows letting in light. I choose to live with a positive hope. How did I do this? How can a young person do the same today?
