Declutter And Be Healed

Contributed by Pablo Catala on May 30, 2019

God’s ability to clean house

Remember Your Leaders Series

Contributed by John Newton on Nov 16, 2022

It seems to me that this concluding chapter is something of a catch-all. I can imagine that the author’s hand might be aching after all this writing. So now he is packing as much as he can into his concluding words.

Wow! We’ve been reading and making our way through Hebrews for a long time. It was way back in January that we started. Now it seems almost as though that is shrouded in the mists of history. And I want to express my gratitude to Pastor Marvin, who has steadfastly and faithfully been leading us ...read more

Jeremiah's Living Sermon On Fatherhood

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 23, 2009

Jeremiah’s experience with the Rechabites shaped his message on fatherhood and guidance. We need to renew our commitment to parenting and to responding to parental guidance.

I guess every teenager grapples with who he is. For me, a 17-year-old, away from home and “on my own” at college, I was ever so much “smarter” than I am today and certainly “much smarter” than my own father who had attended college and seminary on a “catch as catch can” basis and had no degree to ...read more

Greedy For Good Times

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 22, 2010

Why are we rarely as thankful as we should be? Perhaps it is because we are so wrapped up with God’s blessings that we forget their source; we are not willing to take the time or expend the patience it takes to say, "Thank You, Lord."

Greedy for Good Times (Deuteronomy 8:10-11, 17-18, Luke 17:11-19) 1. Many of us have families spread throughout the nation. It is hard to get together, even for the holidays. 2. The day before Thanksgiving an elderly man in Phoenix called his son in New York and said to him, "I hate to ruin ...read more

Thanksgiving - A Gift To Enjoy

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Nov 30, 2009

Paul asks Christians to give Thanks "always and in everything". A deeper look into the subject reveals that this is an impossibility for mankind.
