Orbiting our planet at speeds more than 4.5 miles per second is a growing collection of space junk where nuts, bolts, and other discarded debris from space flights are presenting a real hazard to future spacecraft.

The Devil’s “Deal” – Bible study
Satan desires to have all men the way he desired to have Peter (Luke 22:31). Relentlessly, he seeks to gain advantage over men through the employment of devious and persuasive devices (2 Corinthians 2:11).

“And The Prisoners Were Listening To Them” – Bible study
When Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown into an inner prison (Acts 16:19-24), they were not despondent.

In Genesis 39:7 and Genesis 39:10, we find Joseph in a difficult position of being seduced by Potiphar’s wife. How tantalizing this woman’s offers must have been to a young man like Joseph. But because of his reverence and faithfulness to God, Joseph flatly resisted her advances (Genesis 39:8-9). His moral convictions obviously stemmed from … Continue reading “Calling Sin By Any Other Name – Bible study”
