    The Idols That Make Us Idle

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 20, 2025
     | 85 views

    It is not unusual to hear a teenager or adults these days say, I AM BORED!!! The word “Bored” originates from the verb “bore”, which means to pierce or drill. The term has evolved over time to describe a feeling of emptiness or lack of interest, often associated with a dull life.

    God did not put us here to live a life of boredom!!! The Word of God tells us Eccl.9:10, Whatsoever Thy Hands Findeth to do, do it with all thy might. Reading that verse of scripture does not describe a life of boredom. Illus: Isaac Watts said: Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to ...read more

    How Is Your Memory?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 12, 2025
     | 82 views

    Did you know our memory is a gift from God? God has given us many wonderful gifts, but our Memory is one of the great gifts God has given us. Just think about it!!! Wouldn’t it be a terrible to live our entire life on earth and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed!!!

    • This is why we all want to leave behind a good legacy of ourselves so that our family and friends will remember us. • That is why when we die and people attend our funeral service the minister can remind people of the godly life we lived. Memory is a wonderful GIFT FROM GOD!!! Illus: Dr. ...read more

    What To Do When The Brook Dries Up

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 12, 2025
     | 229 views

    Somehow, we have the mistaken idea that the Christian life is like a fairy tale. That is, you accept the Lord as your Savior, and then then you live happily ever after! But there is no such life for any of us while we are here on earth.

    It does not matter: • If a person is rich or poor • What country a person lives in? • What family a person belongs to? NO ONE IS EXEMPT FROM THE SORROWS OF LIFE. Why is it important that we realize that!!! Illus: It is important because it makes me think of a young lady that was dating a ...read more

    The Double Life Of King Asa

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Nov 5, 2025
     | 226 views

    Many make the mistake of thinking that all the things in the Old Testament no longer apply to our modern age. Even some preachers in their sermon preparation choose to preach out of the New Testament, because they feel that the New Testament is more applicable to today’s congregations.

    While much of the Old Testament did deal with Israel and the ceremonial laws that were given to them, a great deal of it is for us today. For example, we are to learn from the examples of the lives of the characters in the Old Testament. Paul said in Romans 15:4, “For whatsoever things were ...read more

    Did you know our memory is a gift from God. We all like gifts but this is a wonderful gift God has given us. Just think about it, wouldn’t it be a terrible thing to live our entire life and when we die nobody remembers that we ever existed.

    Memory is a GIFT FROM GOD!!! Illus: Dr. Odell Belger tells how that his youngest brother had died and he still is able to remember him and the good times they had together. He can still remember… • How he looked! • How he talked! • How he was the life of the party! • How he love to tell ...read more

    Trust And Obey For There Is No Other Way

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 23, 2025
     | 371 views

    Many churches often sing that familiar song TRUST AND OBEY routinely. Today I want to do more than sing about it, I WILL BE PREACHING ON TRUST AND OBEY.

    Do you realize how much trust is a part of our life each day? • Every time we flip a light switch, we trust that the light will come on • Every time we place the key in the ignition of our car and turn it, we expect the car to start. • Every time we get on an elevator if we push the right ...read more

     | 335 views

    Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved. While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved.

    WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday." We do spend a lot of time worrying about tomorrow. So many in our society insist on trying to carry the… • Burdens of the ...read more

    What Kind Of Sermons Did Paul Preach

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 18, 2025
     | 255 views

    Introduction: As I read my Bible, I guess I am like most folks. HOW IS THAT? For example, I often read my Bible and try and imagine what it would be like to be there when Peter, Timothy, John and Paul preached. Especially Paul

    Paul's legacy as a preacher of the Gospel is evident in the numerous churches he established and the epistles he wrote, which continue to be foundational texts for Christian doctrine and practice today. His unwavering commitment to spreading the message of Christ to both Jews and Gentiles ...read more

    Let’s Not Make A Deal!!!

    based on 1 rating
     | 572 views

    The very popular television program, “Let’s Make A Deal” debuted in December 1963. The program was all about MAKING A DEAL!

    I guess all of us have watched this program and enjoyed it, as some of the guests of the show made good deals and some made bad deals. While none of us have appeared on this show and played “Let’s Make A Deal,” the fact is, Satan wants to play this game with us every day. For example, the ...read more

     | 126 views

    Today I want to talk to you about church planting, because all churches are NOT GOD PLANTED! HOW DOES GOD PLANT A CHURCH?

    Illus: CHURCH PLANTING is something like what a farmer does; • He plants the seed, • Cultivates the seed, • Fertilizes the seed • And then patiently waits for it to grow. Church planters basically do the same thing. They have to plant the seed (Gospel), cultivate the seed, fertilize the ...read more

    Good Eyesight Spiritually

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 10, 2025
     | 223 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

    Introduction: On the first Friday of Lent, John was outside grilling a big juicy steak on his grill. Meanwhile, all of his Catholic neighbors were eating cold tuna fish for supper. This went on each Friday of Lent. On the last Friday of Lent, the neighborhood men got together and decided ...read more

    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
