How To Prepare For A Spiritual Confrontation
Contributed on Jan 4, 2025
How should a church or believers deal with gross sin which is found in their midst? Ingore it? Cover it up? Tell your friends? Gossip? Why not find out what God's Word says about the subject?
One of the most important questions any Bible-believing church must ask itself is this: How will we respond when we find that gross, even unrepentant sin is present in our church body?

The Christmas That Wasn't
Contributed on Dec 28, 2024
The Magi were an example of people who have little light who make the most of the opportunity. The Jews and Herod were the opposite--they were clueless as to when their King and Messiah had come.
Back in November, Jeanie and I received a newsletter from an organization called SAT-7.

Preventing A Spiritual Firestorm
Contributed on Dec 28, 2024
How much devastation and destruction has been wrought because believer's think nothing of listening passively to slanderous accusations against their spiritual leaders? The Apostle Paul was a victim of this as well.

I think most of us remember the terrifying and incredibly speedy devastation that each of these ...read more

Contributed on Nov 12, 2009
I had been a Christian only a few months when I felt compelled to witness to my father. In the midst of the discussion, I remember a question which he blurted out in frustration. He said, “Well, if God exists, why doesn’t He just blow a big hole in the ground or something?” In other words, why ...read more
