    We should not anticipate receiving blessings just for being faithful to the Lord. Those blessings and rewards will come in due time.

Esther and Mordecai were dependable, even to the point of taking a chance with their ...read more

     | 1,543 views

    Even though they are aware of their abilities, some people believe they are entitled to make use of them however they see fit. When we use our abilities, how does it glorify God?

    Peter writes that everyone has some abilities. He also states that we are to use what God gave us to reach the world, not for our pleasure but for serving and edifying God. Paul mentions various gifts or abilities. • 1 Corinthians 12:8-11, For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to ...read more

The conquering nation introduced prisoners from other lands, which led to intermarriage with the few Israelites. This blending of the races produced the people known as the ...read more

     | 1,551 views

    Flies don’t land on a hot stove. A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive.

    What does it mean to be a Church of Casual Christianity? How does a church become casual? Is it speaking of the church building or the church body? Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation 2 & 3. • Ephesus – Revelation ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 7, 2022
     | 768 views

    The church needs to be reminded of the need for continued vigilance, to remain strong in the faith and to defend itself against heresy.

    Jude wrote this letter to warn believers of false teachers (Colossians 2:4) that were teaching the Christians that they could do what they wanted without fear of reprisal from God. Many believers in today's churches may still act in this manner. We need to heed the warning of these false ...read more
