The Feeding God's Sheep

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church. When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon.

Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores to do while they were gone. But once they were gone, we did pretty much what we wanted to do. But then someone would say, “Here comes Dad and Mom!” All of a sudden we ...read more

A Celebration Of Unity

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 23, 2021

Lamb Among The Wolves. Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Jan 19, 2022

Psalms 120 through 134 are called the Songs of Ascent because pilgrims would sing them as they traveled the sometimes steep road ascending up to Jerusalem.

Empowered To Deal With Problems (We Are Built For This)

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 26, 2021

In spiritual conflicts, even strong saints sometimes wax faint; then Satan attacks them furiously; but those that stand their ground and resist him shall be relieved and made more than conquerors. We are built for this!
