Prepare For Revival Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 5, 2022

Revival affects our relationship to God, but also to one another. Peter talks about how as our salvation affects us it should give us a love for the unlovely. Jesus goes so far as to say, by this will all men know that you are my disciples that you love one another.

To get a fire started you need some paper, dry kindling wood and a flame. Once you get the flame started you must take care to make sure the flame gets air. You may blow into the flame to get the fire to ignite. You also protect the small flame from too much wind that could blow it out. But once it ...read more

A Life Worth Living Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Mar 24, 2021

To live a life worth living, anticipate the Father’s grace, imitate the Father’s character; and respect the Father’s judgment and love.

How do you know if you’re getting old? Perhaps, Greg Laurie can help us answer that question. He says: You know you're getting old when you actually look forward to a dull evening at home. You know you're getting old when your mind makes commitments your body cannot keep. You know ...read more

How Holiness Theology Transformed My Understanding Of Christianity

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

Let me begin by saying that you should trust the scriptures over the words of any men. We must trust the scriptures much more than Luther, Calvin, Arminius, Wesley, Edwards, Whitefield or any Pope or bishop.

"As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” -1st Peter 1:14-16 ESV Let me begin by saying that you should trust the ...read more

Everlasting Education Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

No people can be great who neglect the best that God has given to man, and no year is going to be great in which the Bible does not play a major role in our lives.

Abraham Lincoln did not like a lot of things about Christians and the church, but there are few great men in history who loved the Bible more than this great leader of our land. In Fisk University Library in Nashville, Tenn. is a copy of a Bible presented to Lincoln with this inscription: ...read more

The Eternal Word Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

When the Bible is no longer our ultimate authority then only weakness can follow. The strength of the past came from Bible educated people.

Did you know that the Mary Magdalene was the mother of Jesus? And that the New Testament book that records Paul's conversion is Psalms? And that the last book of the Bible is evolution? And that the first murderer in the Bible was Pilate? And that Isaiah was the son of Solomon? These are some ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (2 Of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

Jesus told Peter, "Feed my sheep." Every housewife can relate somewhat to this, as she feeds her family. Also most housewives know the value of a well balanced diet.

For example, they know they can feed their families peanut butter sandwiches every now and then, but if they did this all the time: • The family would soon dread coming to the table to eat • They would also suffer nutritionally, because this kind of a diet is not going to supply them the nutrition ...read more

The Importance Of Teaching Bible Prophecy

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 13, 2022

The events that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 are coming to pass more rapidly each day. Bible Prophecy needs to be taught in the churches, for our "Blessed Hope" is about to appear (Luke 21:28: Titus 2:11-15).

The events currently happening between Russia and Ukraine demonstrate the obvious instability of worldwide leadership, the continuous slide into debauchery, perversion, along with increasing hatred, blind rage, and violence against one another and God. Some people are even promoting the insane ...read more

Reconciled To God

The Case For Daily Repentance: Examining Yourself Daily In Your Walk With Christ

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 26, 2022

One of the best things you can do is sit down with another Christian or your pastor and confess the sin. It loses a lot of power when you share it with someone else.

Today I’d like to make the case to you for the concept of daily repentance. As Christians we know we must be born again of the Spirit to share in the inheritance of Christ. We must be truly born again. We must be a new person. And as a new person in Jesus Christ we have the holy spirit within us. ...read more
