    Good Eyesight Spiritually

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 10, 2025
     | 73 views

    In this passage of scripture, the Lord used the image of eyes to convey an important spiritual principle that we need to consider. We all would agree that eyesight is something that is very important to all of us in this PHYSICAL WORLD, but it is EQUALLY IMPORTAN IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD.

    Illus: Because our eyesight is so crucial to us, He created the eye so it can be protected. For example: • God placed our eyes lower than our forehead so our eyes can be protected by our forehead. • God gave us eyebrows for the purpose to help keep moisture, such as sweat and rain, out of ...read more

    We Are In Christ And Christ Is Within Us

     | 162 views

    The Bible in several locations mentions we are IN CHRIST as believers. • Galatians 3:26 • I Peter 5:14 • Romans 8:1 • Colossians 3:3

    What does this mean we are IN CHRIST? Because we cannot stand in these sinful mortal bodies before a holy God of heaven, He has to clothe us in the sinless body of Christ. • In II Cor. 5:21 when we accept His sacrifice on our behalf, that is we give Him our filthy righteous and He gives us His ...read more

    What Do You See?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 19, 2025
     | 214 views

    Have you ever been hit on the head and had someone take you to the emergency room and a doctor examined you?

    He held up some fingers and asked you, “How many fingers do you see?” If he holds up four fingers and you see four of them, then he says you are OK. But if he holds up two and you see four of them, you have a problem. In Mark 8, this is similar to what happened. Look at verses 22-25, we read, ...read more

     | 346 views

    When we think of the betrayals of Christ, we normally think of Judas.

    I have heard people say when I get to heaven I want to see Peter, Paul or Samson… But you will never hear anyone say when I get to heaven I want to see JUDAS Iscariot….why? Because he is not there. Judas is referred to by the Word of God as “The SON OF PERDITION”. Only two people are referred ...read more

     | 315 views

    There are some who claim they do not believe in a Devil.

    Illus: For those who will say such a thing someone said: • “When you meet the devil, you know you are not going his way. • If you never meet him, you must be going in the same direction.” The reason some do not believe in the devil is because they are going the same way he is going, but the ...read more

    The Church Of Philadelphia (A Loving Church)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2025
     | 154 views

    The church of Philadelphia and Smyrna were two churches that the Lord Jesus did not have any words of condemnation for.

    Does this mean they were perfect? Absolutely not! For example, the Bible tells us that Job was perfect and upright man. Does that mean Job was perfect and sinless? No, the only perfect sinless man to walk on this earth was the Lord Jesus. Let me explain how the word PERFECT IS USED IN THE ...read more

    The Dead Church (The Church Of Sardis)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 31, 2025
     | 196 views

    In this message I will be preaching about the church of Sardis which is known as the DEAD CHURCH. No one will admit they attend a dead church but all over this great nation of ours that is exactly what some people are doing.

    Illus: Some churches have cemeteries on their properties. Your church does not have to have a cemetery to be a dead church. Illus: Vance Havner once commented that ministries often begin with a man who has a vision. That vision is captured by others and becomes a movement. As the movement gains ...read more
