Holiness And The "carnal Christian" Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 16, 2021

The Church of The Nazarene is a denomination which believes that a person can live a holy life through the indwelling, transformational power of the Holy Spirit. Is that true or must we live in slavery to sin until we cross into glory?

Holiness - and The carnal Christian Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the ...read more

Is The Entire Bible Inerrant And Divinely Inspired In Everything It Says?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 14, 2020

One of the foundational pillars of the Christian faith is the claim that the Bible is the inerrant and the divinely inspired Word of God.

Throughout history, people have ridiculed the idea of biblical inerrancy and do not believe it to be free from error or untruths or culturally appropriate today. To the faithless, the Bible is simply another fallible book written by imperfect humans. Within the pages of the Bible, it is written, ...read more

Growth Is Success Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is not scolding the Corinthian Christians because they are immature babes in Christ. That would be as foolish as scolding a baby for not being a man. It is not only legitimate, it is absolutely essential that churches have immature babes.

The Battle For Success Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is convinced that failures can become successes. He knew this for he was one of the most successful failures in history. One of the great themes of literature and the Bible is this theme of success out of failure.

In the 35 years following the Civil War 3 success writers towered high above all others, and they became successful by writing about success. All 3 were ordained men. One of them was Russell Conwell who was the pastor of the Baptist Temple of Philadelphia. He delivered his famous lecture over ...read more

The Motivation To Succeed Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Paul is so negative here that we know their must be another paradox involved, for he is a positive thinker. We can only conclude that somehow a negative approach is sometimes the most positive method of influence.

Successful people almost always attribute their success, in large measure, to the influence and inspiration of some other person. Henry Ford tells of how he was in a period of uncertainty about building his gas engine. He was discouraged about it, and was letting the idea go dead in him. It was ...read more

Have The Mind Of Christ Jesus

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 10, 2021

In Philippians 2 we find the great imperative command that we need to "have the mind of Christ Jesus." Is that possible? Can our minds be so transformed by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit that we can actually have the mind of Christ Jesus within us?
