The Judgment Of The Saints

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2014

What will it be like when we as followers of Jesus Christ stand before the Judgment seat of Christ? What about the books that will be opened and the Lamb's Book of Life? Will the Lord be honored by what is in the books or will we be humbled?

A few weeks ago we took a look at the do’s and don’ts of judging others on earth whether they are Christians or not. Two weeks ago we looked at the certainty of the judgment that is awaiting those whose faith and trust was not in Jesus at the time of their death. Today we’ll be ...read more

God Came Near

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 2, 2014

God instructs Moses to build the tabernacle. God wants to be with His people. God wants to connect with His people. God provides all that is required for His will to be done.

We come to church every Sunday and that makes us feel (sometimes) that we are the ones coming to God. • But the truth is, it’s the other way around. God is the One coming for us. • He came to us and He came for us in Jesus Christ. And He is the One who wants to be with us ...read more

The Imperative Command: Fear Not

Was Paul A Good Preacher?

Contributed by James Hays on Apr 21, 2020

Men tend to judge speakers according to a standard that Paul did not even desire to meet. Maybe our judgement needs a little realignment with scripture.

Was Paul A Good Preacher? Hmmm. I’ve often wondered how many churches would pass on hiring Paul for their pulpit minister. • Everyone is a TV evangelist right now. • Pick and choose what style you like, what subject matter you are interested in. • Almost like a competition on Facebook between ...read more

A Godly Perspective On Wisdom And Strength

Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017

The true definition of wisdom and strength does not come from the world, but from God, whose foolishness is wiser than mans, and whose weakness is stronger than the strength of men.
