Knock Knock ...Who's There? - POTPOURRI

Knock Knock ...Who's There?
Most everyone, as children, had a whole repertoire of silly Knock Knock jokes. The Bible has a true Knock Knock experience to relate to us as well. It’s quite humorous but oh so ‘human’!

Mockers, Bald-Head, and She Bears - VIGNETTE

 Mockers, Bald-Head, and She Bears
This is NOT the story of harmless little boys making fun and mocking a bland-headed man in good-natured fun. NO, this was serious rejection of God Himself!

Not Three Blind Mice BUT Five Golden Mice - VIGNETTE

Not Three Blind Mice BUT Five Golden Mice
The Ark of the Covenant had been taken by the Philistines! Oh, No! Now, what would God do? Was this an accident? Were the Philistines more powerful than the God of Israel?

Women of the Book: The Queen of Sheba - VIGNETTE

Women of the Book: The Queen of Sheba
Just think … this Queen rode on camelback 1,200-1,500 miles to question King Solomon. That is a lot of effort expended. I’m quite sure I couldn’t make the trip!

Are You Being Sifted? - CLASS

Are You Being Sifted?
It’s sure not fun being in the sifter! Peter and Job found it to be very painful. But guess what? When the Sifter stopped shaking, they were more useable to the Lord!

The Holy Spirit Gives Gifts But Does He Make Mistakes? - CLASS

The Holy Spirit Gives Gifts But Does He Make Mistakes?
Whew! Long title which explains this vignette! Seriously, what do you think about this question? Can believers make the mistake in determining their gift? Maybe others have ‘pegged’ them in the wrong place!

The Incredible Worth of a Woman, Part 1 - CLASS

The Incredible Worth of a Woman, Part 1
This is NOT for children – Adult content!
At what point does a woman become valuable? Do we have a body like Eve’s body? What does God say about our value? Do you ever get stuck in the mindset that as you grow older you are still ‘supposed’ to look as once you did when you were young? Is this true or is this the culture ‘speaking’?

Famous Last Words - CLASS

Famous Last Words
Have you ever wondered why we are often so attentive to a dying person’s last words? We hope to hear what that person holds most important, I think. Do you know the most significant last words ever spoken? Do you know by whom and under what condition the words were expressed?

Flower Pots Cannot Grow Pecan Trees - CLASS

Flower Pots Cannot Grow Pecan Trees
A mind filled with shallow ‘Sermonettes for Christianettes’ leaves the mind inadequate to contain deep spiritual truths. ‘Dumbing Down’ leaves the believer ineffective and unproductive. There’s hope! Get out of your ‘Flower Pot’ into the wide open spaces of God’s Word, becoming a “Pecan Tree” with a deep tap root!

Can God Say No? - CLASS

Can God Say No?
Most of us know God can say ‘no’. But we, like spoiled children, wish Him to say ‘yes’ at our first request! The Lord said ‘no’ to many of His servants, both past and present. What they learned was His way was best. Fanny Crosby and Amy Carmichael came to love God’s ‘no’s.

The Devastation of Rape and/or Incest - CLASS


The Devastation of Rape and/or Incest 
You know from the title that this is NOT for children to hear. Protect your little ones, please! I’ve sat in counseling with many women who have endured this torture. A lovely woman from Scripture had this happen to her too.

The Jews Are Home - VIGNETTE

The Jews Are Home 
Rejoicing With The Nation of Israel on its 66th Anniversary, May 14, 1948 -- May 14, 2014
Israel is the Jewish home, the place where the Jewish people were born in the time of Abraham. After the longest exile ever endured by a people, it was ‘reborn’ in many of our own life’s time. Some saw this miracle unfold before their eyes. What a testimony of God’s faithfulness and His love for His people.

The Book of Ruth – Direction One Cannot See - CLASS

The Book of Ruth – Direction One Cannot See
Who is really directing the affairs in this wonderful story? Unknown to the participants, each was carrying out God’s plan for their lives. In every chapter, one sees the invisible hand of God. No accidents. Nothing left to chance. God was in charge! There are deep Spiritual truths in this short but profound book. Each of us can look over our shoulder and see God directing our lives too. God is STILL in charge. He DOES NOT change!

Our hope must be grounded in reality and the truths of the Scriptures to avoid falling into that ever present emotional, mental, and spiritual crater.

He made some crooked steps along the way but God was faithful to His promises to Abraham. We can learn a bunch about God and about ourselves in this brief study on the Patriarch, Abraham, “the friend of God”.
