    About a third of the way through the letter “J” in my dictionary you will come across the word “jeremiad”. And what, you ask, is a jeremiad? Well, a jeremiad is defined as (and I quote) “a long literary work, in which the author bitterly laments the state of society and its morals in a serious tone ...read more

    "I Found The Answer, I Learned To Pray”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 8, 2022
     | 3,049 views

    Introduction: Many years ago, the late Nat King Cole sang a song in a way that only he could sing. It was called "I Found the Answer, I Learned to Pray."

    Never has there been a song that had more truth to it than that particular song. From cover to cover, the Bible teaches us the same thing this song teaches us: the answer to life's problems is prayer. Some never learn that lesson because they never read their Bible or attend a church where ...read more

    Everyone who was there, at the cross, had a question, except the ones who were sure they already had the answers.. . What’s going on? What am I doing here? Who is that man, anyway? What am I going to do?

    Were you there when they crucified my Lord? They were all people just like us, you know. It might just have well have been we who were there, not them. It would all have happened just the same.

    The Sprinkled Blood

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 5, 2023
     | 2,324 views

    Five places in Scripture refer to the sprinkling of blood. It brings preservation, confirms covenants, purifies from uncleanness, sanctifies, and gives access. It's at the center of God's great redemption!

    THE SPRINKLED BLOOD Heb. 12:18-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. One of my pet-peeves is Christians with Christian bumper stickers driving discourteously or dangerously – it’s a bad testimony. 2. One guy had a bumper sticker, “Jesus is my Co-Pilot.” He got in a bad wreck. A policeman came along and ...read more
