Can you imagine being one of the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18?  You just spent an entire day calling out to Baal to send fire down on your bull.  When that “didn’t work,” you leaped about the altar you made, cried aloud, cut yourself until blood gushed out and continued to call out to Baal all day.  You did this…

How much higher are the heavens than the earth?  Through the research of astronomers, we can know the measurements between celestial bodies and the earth.  While it is hard for us to fathom millions of miles and light years of time, we can begin to understand what God meant when He said, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So…

The expression “as one man” is found seven times in the New King James Version—all of them in the Old Testament.  Notice how this expression is used:  “the congregation gathered together as one man before the Lord…all the people arose as one man…all the men of Israel were united together as one man” (Judges 20:1, 8, 11); “the people gathered together as…

One truth:  The practice of infant baptism shows that…

When I think about the love and power of God, “amazed” is a word that immediately comes to mind.  The word is found 17 times in the NKJV, 16 of which are in four New Testament books.  Enjoy each of these—“all the multitudes were amazed” (Matt. 12:23); “they were all amazed” (Mark 1:27); “all were amazed” (Mark 2:12); “they were greatly amazed”…
