Joshua Fit De Battle of Jericho

Gideon, who had been chosen by God to lead Israel’s armies, wanted a sign that God really was with him.

He laid out a fleece on the ground and told God to give him a sign: If, the next morning, the fleece was wet and the ground around it dry, he would believe. God did so, and Gideon wrung out a bowlful of water from the fleece.

Then he asked God to do the opposite: At night, leave the fleece dry but make the ground wet with dew. God did, and Gideon believed.

(See Judg. 6:36–40.) The expression “laying out the fleece” refers to this kind of testing of someone.

Jesus is the Lord of Life

Jack Graham

Jesus is the Lord of Life, and that's the topic, that's the theme of the Gospel of John, and certainly John chapter 10 which is one of the well-known passages in all of the Bible. Jesus had enemies. You know that, right? While He was loved and beloved by multitudes, many rejected Him.

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart

This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.

Light which Redeems the Soul

The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart

On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.

A Place Called Home

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn

The book of genesis is part of the revelation god gave to moses at mount Sinai, so when it says eden was “in the east,” we are talking about a location somewhere east of Sinai.
