A Whole Heart

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jul 2, 2018

Who wants God to love them and act towards them halfheartedly, as an after thought. No we want Gods full attention and commitment to our well being. Well God wants doesn't want to be an after thought in our lives either.

David made a statement in the word of God. He said my heart is fixed. Psalms 57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. There are all kinds of heart conditions. There’s a broken heart. There’s a wounded heart. Then there are physical heart conditions that limit ...read more

Power In Persecution

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 14, 2022

Will the power of Acts return when persecution separates the wheat from the chaff? If all you have left is Jesus, will it be enough?

1Pe 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other ...read more

Be Truly Inspired

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 15, 2024

There may be full pews under the spires, but all is vain unless the Spirit inspires.

The core problem is that we live in a culture that is looking for the innovative versus the inspired. We want excitement more than exegesis. Give us 10 easy steps to holiness or the 1minute disciple program and we are into it. Gather up a bunch of ideas that have been preached for years by many ...read more

Did it seem like all the prophets knew that God was going to take Elijah? Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a ...read more
