     | 605 views

    We are not in the Olympics or the Isthmian games. Still, we’re all running and we’re all busy. But are we running toward the right thing? What race are you running right now? Are you running the rat race of a hectic life, or are you running the race for heaven?

    Our Bible text tells of a man searching for something. Matthew tells us he was a young man; Luke describes him as a ruler, or what we would call an aristocrat. And Matthew, Mark, & Luke all tell us he was rich. Today he’s often called the Rich Young Ruler.

    The last fruit that we are going to deal with is the fruit of Temperance. When I think of the fruit of Temperance, I think of a thermostat. Illus: You know what a thermostat does!

    Facing The Storm Of Fear

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021
     | 1,965 views

    In 1999, Hurricane Floyd appeared on the radar screen as it approached the shores of Florida. Governor Jeb Bush described it as a “Monster of a storm”, that was coming in their direction, and they really did not know how to deal with it.

    One of the things that made this such a dreadful storm was that it had strong winds, and it was over three hundred miles wide. Florida was blessed, because it came up to the coast line and made a turn. When South Carolina was told to “Watch out”, because the storm was heading in their direction, ...read more

    God Is A God Of Jealousy - Attributes Of God - (2 Of 10)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 9, 2022
     | 2,080 views

    Today's message is about an attribute that we generally do not associate as being an attribute of God. That is, the attribute of jealousy.

    God is a jealous God. The attribute of jealousy is very closely related to the attribute of love. Illus: A lady went to her pastor for some counseling. She had some serious problems in her marriage. When the pastor asked her what was the problem, she said that her husband did not love her. The ...read more

    :We can become sluggish in our bodies and go to the doctor, and after a thorough examination he might conclude that our bodies are lacking in calcium, iron, potassium, or some other particular vitamin.

    In the passage of scripture under consideration, it seems as though Peter has examined us and has discovered we all have a deficiency when it comes to having the proper attitude toward certain things. One's attitude is how one thinks toward a certain thing. Our thinking can be correct or ...read more

    Many of us are familiar with having to identify ourselves with a driver’s license or a birth certificate in order to identify ourselves to prove that we are who we say we are.

     | 4,624 views

    When disaster strikes, the question is not ’what did they do to deserve that?’. The question is - ’What am I going to do about it?’

    Luke 13: 1-9 What did they do to deserve that? We have had another week of disaster. Once again we’ve seen large numbers of people killed and maimed, most particularly in the awful disaster at Madrid. At once again we might ask the question ’what on earth have they done to deserve that?’. And it ...read more
