Who are the “Sons of God” in Genesis Chapter 6?
Part 2: Understanding the Biblical Message Prophecy – Signs Tuesday, June 19, 2018 Steve Schmutzer In Part 1 of this series I stated my personal standards for teaching God’s Word, and I outlined some sound principles of proper Biblical interpretation. While various protocols for studying and interpreting the Bible can be found, I believe the responsible ones largely conform to the rationale and standards I’ve shared. With those issues behind us, let’s return to the operative question, “Who are the ‘sons of God’ in Genesis 6?” Our focus is the first four verses of that chapter. Let’s see if the …
The Evidence of God
Reflections The Evidence of God If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God that he has testified of his Son. He that believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself…and this is the record that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (1 John 5:9-11) In this passage, the words, “witness,” “testified,” and, “record,” are all from the same Greek word. We could replace each of them with the word EVIDENCE. Some skeptics demand evidence that Jesus was …

The Testing of Our Commitment
When we choose to obey God’s commands even when they seem unreasonable, our faith will grow The Testing of Our Commitment HEBREWS 11:8-9 8 By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; In situations when God is testing us, He will teach us new and …
Bruises
Dr. Mike Murphy Life is a series of ups and downs.” Recently, these words have taken on a whole new meaning in my life, as my “downs” have become far more literal than emotional. As the cancer continues to weaken my body, I find myself frequently having an up close and personal relationship with the floor. Often, I look like i got caught between a sumo wrestler and a dessert buffet. I tell others jokingly, my bruises now have bruises. And I advise them with each fall I take, if they are smart, they will invest in bubble wrap. As …
Revelation Msg 14
In this video Dr Woodhead continues the parenthetical studies of the Rapture, the Resurrection, the Church, Reasons for the Tribulation and the nature of the Nation Israel.

Jericho, Rahab, And The Rope Of Hope
By ONE FOR ISRAEL (Messianic Jews In Israel) We passed the sign that forbade us from entering. We were on a bus to Jericho, which, after the Oslo Accords, has been under Palestinian control. Israelis are not free to go there without special permission. But we had special permission. Situated in the lowest place on earth, next to the Dead Sea, Jericho is famous for walls that came tumbling down, and a certain prostitute called Rahab. Rahab, as you might know, ended up becoming a Very Important Person. You can still see the remains of the city walls today, and evidence of …
The Last Days According to Everyone
The Last Days According to Everyone Pete Garcia The ancient Vikings believed in ‘Ragnarok’. The Buddhist believe in the coming of the ‘Maitreya’. The Hindus believe that the ‘Kalki’ brings an end to the current Kali Yuga. Islam predicts that the end will come when the ‘Mahdi’ returns. Even atheists and skeptics posit that we are overdue for an occurrence such as a meteor, super volcano, global weather extreme, or other cataclysmic earth-ending event. It is common for cultures and societies to look toward the future with a certain level of trepidation. The future represents change. It is the big …
HOPE IN GOD ALONE June 18, 2018
Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.” HOPE IN GOD ALONE Depression is a cruel and unfair player when it comes to human emotions. It seems to single us out at the most inconvenient time and cares not for our commitments, schedules or the important things of life. Everyone struggles from time to time with the depression that comes from our inner man. Many of God’s great warriors fought bouts of depression. The prophet Elijah became so …
By Faith Alone
By Faith Alone Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. If you are too proud to bend your spirit before God, you’ll never get to heaven. You may be a kind, gentle person; you may even be naturally benevolent and charitable. But if your pride keeps you from …
